Houdini Demo Project Ideas

I'm currently working on my demo from the bottom up. I want to focus on
Houdini as my main package. I'm so bored of Maya. (No offense to anyone.)

The question is, what would be a great project I can do that would really
show the power of Houdini as well as showing my skills. Knock it out of the
ball park so to speak.

Remember that the idea is to gain employment, so I think space ships and
things that are going to be on every demo in existance would be bad. Or
would it be good?

I would be greatful for any ideas or advise.

Thank you.

hi
why dont you make bedroom, with nice antique furniture, and then
everything that is wood in the room starts to spawn roots and branches
and all wood becomes alive
I was trying to do that but I am very busy with other stuff at the moment

First determine what it is you are particularly good at AND what you
would prefer to do when you get hired.
The growing furniture idea from Zoran is a cool idea but only if you
understand plants and you plan on doing that for the next two or three
years.

Putting only your very best work on your reel is an obvious task what is
going to be even more important (this is particularly true for Houdini)
is showing
how you did the work and your ability to problem solve.
