Week 1: Idea, Storyboard, FX RND

This is the first week of the SANM 560 class, and we do lots of brainstorming to pitch the idea.

Test for the Peeling Effect

I give it the first test using solver and infection system in Houdini.

Also, just using the instance and particle system to show the flying chips.

After this test, it couldn't fully show the paint chip effect. Therefore, I consult with the Professor Deborah, and she told me I should try Vellum.

This is the second test of the Peeling Effect:

At first, the chips will stick too much on the complicated shape. In order to improve, I adjust the Constraint stiffness value to control them.

Week 2 Plan: Trying to add disintegration on all the flying piece to make the chips become the ashes.
