DNA Disintegration Simulation

DNA Molecule Disintegration Simulation

In this project I experimented with a DNA molecule disintegration effect, combining scientific visualization with procedural motion design.

Software: Houdini, After Effects
Category: Simulation, Lighting & Rendering
Tools: Particles, Procedural Modeling, Pyro

Like for the neuron cells, I took a deep dive into microbiology again for this intricate Houdini Setup about DNA, especially the dissolving of DNA.

This disintegration has no scientific background and was solely a practise for creating a complex setup and a cool looking effect.

The DNA was procedurally modeled in Houdini, transformed into points and then an infection growth solver was applied. This infection solver drives the disintegration effect.
