Madlord Golden Rift

Music producer MADLORD asked me to design his Christmas card. At the time, I was exploring procedural environments in Houdini and suggested creating a valley where his logo would serve as the source of golden rivers. It was also the first time I used AI image generators to create style frames for a commercial project (images 1-3 below). Having worked with MADLORD for many years, I know his taste well—and he immediately loved the idea.

The landscape was built using Houdini’s height field system, with additional detail added through procedural textures in Copernicus (COPs).
