XK studio: Morphing Reality | XK studio | OFFF HIVE 2024

Whether it's using musical annotations, 3D scans or motion capture data, XK studio looks to apply strong art direction intentions to morph reality into something new and unexpected using Houdini as their main tool.
Lukas Vojir is a co-founder and creative director of XK studio looking after the technical and motion aspects of XK outputs. At OFFF he will be presenting XK's take on reality through the projects done in the past year.
Stephan Helbing is a London based artist working at XK studio with a deep curiosity for 3D scanning and simulation driven design in Houdini. He will be showing technical breakdowns of different XK projects including flowers, photogrammetry tricks and slitscan effects.

XK has to be one of the most technically talented studios on the planet. My brain melts every time I watch one of their presentations🤯

As a florist who is learning Houdini, I am dying to work with XK someday. Only XK inspires me so much! One the most technically and visually talented studios! Thank you for all your talks and presentations and for sharing your inspiration and passion!

Mind blowing. The combination of artistry and technicality is unbelievably beautiful

As far as project breakdowns go, I can't imagine it can be done better. Not only skilled in their craft, but also very confident in explaining the process. GG
