SideFX launches Houdini for Apple Silicon
Houdini for M1 and M2 processors comes after a year-long beta period. The premier 3D VFX application is now optimised for the latest generation of Macs.

Linear workflows with DWAA lossy compression
Hitting a few walls in return for files at a fraction of their lossless size.

Airspace above the South West of the UK
An interactive model showing multiple classifications of controlled airspace above the South West of the United Kingdom.

Arrivals and departures at London Heathrow
A snapshot capturing the flight paths of aircraft taking off from the northern 27R and landing on the southern 27L (known as westerly operations).

Winter break learning
I found time to learn a few new things over the break. Including Cinema 4D, Blender and Fusion 360.

Creating a copper wire coil
An example of how to quickly create a very simple nodegraph setup that produces a roll of twisted magnet wire in SideFX Houdini.

A virtual tour of Zürich Airport
Experience the three runways of Zürich Airport in this 3D virtual tour. Featuring terminals, taxiways and more details.

Flight routes and waypoint references visualised
Aircraft navigate the skies along routes of waypoints and beacons. Waypoints indicate a change in direction, speed, or altitude along the desired path.

Innsbruck airport approach
The runway at Innsbruck is at an elevation of 581 metres and the final approach must be made through a narrow valley with terrain on either side.

Airspace above the United Kingdom
Across the world airspace is divided into three dimensional blocks. This view shows airspace blocks over an area of the United Kingdom.

Airflow around an aircraft wingtip
Visualising the aerodynamic effects of airflow at an aircraft's wingtip. Vortices are circular patterns of rotating air left behind a wing as it generates lift.

Pressure around an aircraft wing
CFD visualisation to show the pressure distribution around an aircraft wing. The curved shape creates lift by forcing air to move faster over the top of a wing.

Cross section of pressure around a wing
Rendering the volume of air that is affected by an aerofoil surface. Low pressure areas, responsible for creating lift, are shown in blue.

Airflow around an aircraft wing
Visualising the aerodynamic effects of an aircraft wing, with a 3 degree angle of attack. Including a turntable showing a 360° look at airflow around a wing.
