Caustic Gas FX

"Entropy is the natural order of the universe. I simply catalyze the process."
A smoke simulation I did to celebrate two years of Respawn's Apex Legends and my favorite legend ever, Caustic.
I used TurbulenceFD as my fluid dynamics solver, Cinema 4d to create the scene, rendered it out with Octane Render, and composited it all in Nuke.

Simulation Details:
121.8 Million Voxels, 800x650x800cm grid
~3.5 hours to simulate 350 frames, ~32 hours to render.

I was responsible for all aspects except the model and the textures, which were made by Jamie McFarlane and can be found at https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/caustic-nox-gas-trap-bb8bb186f78d4549a8e8c12abf2331a8
