As part of the "Shaq-a-Roni is Back" campaign for Papa John's, Tom Taylor collaborated with the talented team at PrePost 3D to create a standout pepperoni flower bloom animation featured at the 00:07 mark.

He was responsible for transforming the pepperoni asset into a blooming rose effect using Houdini, handling both the animation and simulation. Once the bloom was perfected, he exported it as an Alembic file for seamless rendering in Blender - adding a uniquely artistic and flavorful touch to the campaign.
