Moss & Crystal Cave
Houdini node-based study: crystal and cave formation.
The scene emphasizes contrast between soft, organic surfaces and sharp, mineral-like structures. Moss-covered rock formations and flowing plant textures surround rigid crystal clusters, creating visual tension between natural growth and solid geometry as the path continues through the cave.
