This has been one of the most challenging projects I've worked on and it’s finally coming to life!
Creating a CG bird in Houdini and rendering it in Karma has been a journey that’s pushed me. From sculpting the tiniest details to understanding the technical nuances of feathers, every step has reminded me how humbling this craft is.
The deeper I went, the more I realized how much I still have to learn. Nature is complex, unpredictable, and incredibly beautiful, capturing even a fraction of that realism takes dedication, patience, and a willingness to grow.

I'm happy with the result, and I hope you enjoy it!
