Horticultural Fudge on the Website

Aside | May 6, 2017December 27, 2025 | Paul Greer

I have now uploaded a newly scanned and cleaned up version of my webcomic, Horticultural Fudge to this website. It’s all layed out nicely on one page for ease of reading.
It’s a simple wordless story of gardening, flowers and retribution.

A version of this story will be available to buy as a print at the Bristol South Bank Arts Trail next weekend, and in due course, they’ll be available here too.

If you enjoy this comic you might also like to try Fudge and The Garden Of Eartly Delights also available to read on this website.

Converting a Displacement Texture to Polygon Geometry in Arnold.

Aside | February 9, 2017June 1, 2018 | Paul Greer

Replacing the “displacementToPoly” command previously useful in Maya.

Go to Arnold/Utilities/Baked_Selected_Geometry. This will export from the scene as an OBJ that should match your Catclark Subdivision level. The process can take some time.

You then have to import the OBJ back into the scene.

If you were to tell me, right now.
What’s the most important thing?
That? Yeah.
OK. That’s good……………Trust.
Huh.
Talent is one thing. But to trust your talent. It’s a hard thing to do. To trust your choices. To use the rehearsals in ways that you’re not watching yourself.
Right. Self conscious.
Well, more than that. It’s the director in you. Leave the director outside. When you break down a script and make choices on a scene or a character, there’s an objective part of you that looks at stuff. You make a choice that’s conscious. Then either trust that to your subjectivity or don’t…..Now if you do, let it take you where it will. If it does what you hope it will, it will end the scene.
Ohhh.
…as opposed to your deciding to end the scene.
Right…I get it.
It’s hard to explain.

Countdown to Life wins the RTS

Aside | November 29, 2016December 27, 2025 | Paul Greer

Top news for Team BDH! We have won the National RTS Award for Best Digital Effects for our work on Countdown To Life: The Extraordinary Making of You.

Congratulations everyone, a massive team effort on this one. Up against some pretty stiff competition as well.

The judges said:

“This was a stunning entry, with the success of the whole show entirely dependent on the skill of the Effects team. The textures and liquids they created were so realistic that the jury felt completely immersed, forgetting they weren’t watching a real embryo. An extraordinary piece of work.”

You can see the full list of winner here, and some examples of our work here.
