DRAGON new year wishes

My first project in Houdini! I made this GIF like pinboard animation to send wishes for this upcoming Chinese New Year (the Year of Dragon).

I scattered pin geos over grid points and have it only translate in posY driven by texture maps and attribute transfer node. I also added noise to create cloud movements behind the dragon.

Assigned shader and rendered in Mantra.

Resposible for all aspects.
Software used: Houdini, Mantra, Nuke.
