Production Renderer Helps Ingenuity Studios Rack Up Over a Billion Views for Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish Videos
“We started using the alpha build about 30 minutes after it was released,” recalls Grant Miller, owner and VFX Supervisor at Ingenuity Studios. “We wanted to move scene assembly into Houdini, so we’d have more control over our instances and a tighter loop on VFX and look dev. If V-Ray for Houdini could take us there, we were all in.”
V-Ray for Houdini’s first test was on Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” video, whose CG snakes helped Swift poke fun at negative press and earn over a billion views. From there, its growth was organic, as new features and boosts continued to win over artists used to working with Maya and Mantra.
“I can’t speak enough to the responsiveness of the Chaos team,” said Miller. “They turned around countless features and bug fixes in no time. Their dedication to making V-Ray for Houdini a first-class integration is a big source of confidence.”
