This has only happened a few time in my 30 years both practicing and teaching video game development.\n\nThis project fom Riley was truly exceptional and his first completed in Houdini. He had a strong creative idea and hook, composed and performed all the music himself and taught himself VEX to create a one person 3 minute render in Houdini on his first every complete project in the software.\n\nAll the instruments were built procedurally and he dynamically animated it to match the beat of the music.
