Armin Lotfi creates greebles and shows how to make a Dyson sphere in Houdini.

Motion Designer and 3D Artist Armin Lotfi shows how to make the sci-fi kitbash classic, the greeble in Side FX Houdini. The greebles then get used for designing a Dyson sphere, another classic sci-fi standby.

The Dyson sphere model also has a smoke sim that creates the internal power source, a star. Lotfi’s last tutorial showed how to use copy variants to create landscape scenes.
