Quick vignette · Fire simulation test
Burning Vinyl
A needle drop that catches fire — a short Houdini pyro study inspired by Nobody (2021).
About this piece
A small idea, tested end to end.
A quick personal exercise built around a single cinematic beat: the needle meets the groove, a spark catches, and the flame consumes the record in a few seconds. Built fast on a free turntable model, the point was to test ignition, flame propagation along a surface and how it reads against the existing moody lighting — not to showcase asset work.
It's a short, self-contained sketch rather than a full production system — kept here at its original test resolution because the idea is what it's meant to show.
