Balance

Generated, 3D, Houdini

2023

This activity has been around for centuries, but it has recently gained popularity as a form of mindfulness and meditation. In my personal project, I explored the aesthetics of rock stacking and the visual harmony created by balancing rocks of different shapes and sizes.


Once I had created the design system and the fundamental rules of the composition in Houdini, The generating of the stacked rocks was automated.


Through this project, I hope to inspire others to appreciate the natural beauty of rock formations and to find inner peace through the calming practice of rock stacking.
