Procedural Maze

Mardini 2025

Medium: Procedural 3D

Project type: Personal

Tools used: Houdini, Photoshop

As part of the Mardini 2025 challenge organized by SideFX, I created 31 unique Houdini projects over the course of 31 days — or a bit more if you count the render time — each one based on a daily prompt.

Each day, I set out to build a complete procedural setup from scratch — not to create polished final pieces, but to learn and experiment. As I was (re)learning Houdini throughout the challenge, my focus was on exploring ideas quickly, testing new nodes, workflows, and creative approaches.
