Original TV Episode (SpongeBob SquarePants)

I decided to create this fun underwater jellyfish dance simulation using Houdini FX! In the process I explored the use of soft body and hair particles in Houdini FX. I then exported the simulated geometry caches into Unreal Engine, a process I was previously unfamiliar with. Lastly, I assembled the scene environment using the Unreal sequencer, fine tuning the camera post processing effects to achieve the desired underwater feel.
