Another personal project born from curiosity. This time the study was Vellum, Houdini's soft body and cloth simulation system, and I needed a subject that could do justice to the playfulness of the technique. Havaianas was my choice. Watching those iconic flip-flops stretch, bend, and deform in unexpected ways felt oddly satisfying. Familiar objects behaving in unfamiliar ways. But beyond the technical exercise, there's something personal here too: a small, colourful homage to Brazil, carried in the most Brazilian object imaginable.
