Brain Activity, Houdini & Unity
Brain Activity of both the surface level and white matter tracts of the brain. (Implemented in Unity).
I used medical scan data to generate the geo with LODs and UVs in Houdini. Custom shaders were created in Unity. Various FX and masking textures were created in Houdini and animated sprites were created in After Effects.

Import Consultant (curves to Houdini): Danil Krivoruchko https://myshli.com/
Responsible for creation of shaders, materials, lighting, White Matter Tact geometry and finalization passes on textures and surface geo.
Each Hemisphere contains over 50 controllable areas that correlate to the Broadmann Zones of the brain.
4 views of the entire White Matter Tracts with surface activity FX layer.
Additional White Matter Tract Shader Features.
Process medical data to real-time geo.
Custom Houdini nodes for reordering points for FX directional flow and reducing curve data.
FX overlay geo with external brain and zone map.
Exterior FX Geo shader containing over 50 Zones.
Each zone can be given varying levels of activity with various looks.
Uses various sprite packing to reduce texture maps and 4 custom node functions for management and\or use in other shaders.
