D for Dust is now live ✨

In this chapter, I break down the full process behind the piece, from building the layered particle movement to developing the material and lighting, then bringing everything together in the final render.

Watch the complete chapter on YouTube. Link in bio.

How do you build a Houdini setup that draws with charcoal?
Episode 01 of C for Charcoal breaks down the first half of that process. I build the geometry and materials around the initial curves, explain what each part adds and show how the setup develops toward the final image.
The episode is out now on YouTube. Link in bio ✨🧚‍♀️✨

Sometimes one small detail is enough to start a whole project ✨

Figuring out what caught my eye in a reference helps me decide where to start. From there, I can experiment and let the image develop without having every part planned in advance.

That process is a big part of Material Alphabet in Houdini. You can follow it on YouTube, link in bio ✨🧚‍♀️✨

Thanks for all the feedback on Epoxy ✨

I’ve been reading your comments and already
have a few things I want to improve.

A lot of you asked about Karma too, so yes,
I’m planning to make tutorials with it. I’ve
recorded the next few Chapters already, so
it’ll be a little while before we get there 😅

Foam is next, but I’m pretty busy right now,
so I might need a bit more time to finish it.

How many versions does it take to realise the first one was right? 😅
E for Epoxy went through several approaches before the setup finally made sense. Swipe through four takeaways from the process, then watch the full tutorial tomorrow on YouTube.

Stealing UVs with the ray node ✨
I use it to get usable UVs on geometry that would be a pain to unwrap. Start from something easy to unwrap, ray to the messy one and import hit attributes. The deformed mesh picks up the clean layout, so the texture follows a simple map. What would you steal?

Somewhere between attraction and tension, two forms meet.

Roman Kotov’s work explores the space between opposites, light and shadow, warmth and darkness, human and abstract.

A moment suspended between two worlds, streaming on Blackdove.

BETWEEN SCULPTURE AND SIMULATION.

Particles become structures.
Fluid surfaces become sculptures.
Organic forms become something unfamiliar.

Kotov Roman @kotov.cgi explores the space between the recognizable and the unexpected, using digital processes to transform light, texture and form into visual experiences.

MATERIAL, SHAPED BY LIGHT.

Kotov Roman @kotov.cgi explores light, material and form through procedural 3D, creating digital works somewhere between sculpture, simulation and visual experiment.

On a 60" Square Digital Canvas, digital matter takes on a physical presence.
