Garden of Ethly Delights
The Garden of Ethly delights is a colorful and thriving place, where Fred and Mathilda lives in a happy bubble among their friends. They are seemingly having a good time and play among beautiful flowers and some really good looking fruits. Most of the fruits taste good, and everyone wants a bite of the better looking ones.
In the garden you find flowers that have been in the garden for a long time. They are mostly happy and don't let themselves worry too much when the gray clouds come flying by.
Outside the garden you'll see happy bright monsters unaware of the delights in the garden. Some get dragged in now and then, and end up staying in the garden and have a good time. In the garden there is a crowd cherishing a tree, the Ethlytree. They dance around, praying to the tree, asking for advice and guidance. But they find little advice from the tree, its a fucking tree, it dont have much of advice for anyone.
On the darker side of the garden you can see those that did not find the garden a happy place, they get all darkened and sad. Now and then some monsters leave the garden, all dark and worn out, all wrecked.
The garden gives and takes...
This work is inspired mostly by Garden of Earthly Delights Delights by Bosch, painted between 1490 and 1510.
The Garden of Ethly Delights, is three different scenes set up in a 3d world. Each character is modeled and textured in Houdini. They are placed around and animated with loops so the animation is repeating each 10 seconds.
The sideanimations, consist of 9 different objects/creatures that are modelled in 3d, then scattered around using noise patterns in 3d. There is a randomised color pallet, size and shaders for the creatures, so that many of the points have their own colors and style.
The different animations are rendered using Redshift in Houdini.
