As part of the “Shaq-a-Roni is Back” campaign for Papa John's, I collaborated with PrePost 3D to create a standout 3D animation of a pepperoni flower bloom featured at 00:07. I was responsible for transforming the pepperoni asset into a blooming rose effect using Houdini, handling both animation and simulation. The bloom was then exported as an Alembic file for rendering in Blender, adding a visually striking and playful element to the campaign while showcasing precise simulation and animation workflows.
