The project is inspired by interesting forgotten mechanisms, an astrolabe, the idea of making an interesting structure using Houdini modeling tools, and lighting it beautifully. I used Houdini, Redshift, and a little zbrush in my work. It took a lot of perseverance to shape my thought.

To bring the idea to life, I needed to make a small sketch. And then I made a couple of assets in Houdini for gears and rivets to speed up the weight gain.

The interesting thing is that the first thought was around the compass. I quickly drew some kind of cool mechanism with a clock and a compass and started working right away.

Thank you!
