Caught in the Wires of Time

Reflecting on the restrictions technology has placed on us. What is the cost of our continuous dependence on technology? Do we truly have more time to spend on the things we love? Or are we merely fools entangled in the trap set by productivity.

Notes
Recently I've slowly been returning to Blender. And in this process, I've developed a fondness towards Eevee and it's toon shader features. With this, I've attempted to reproduce a visual similarity to my illustration style to bridge the gap between my 2D and 3D styles.

The biggest challenge for me were the cables. There were numerous attempts to make a procedural cable system that works with the Hand animation in Houdini. Sadly my knowledge of Houdini is still very limited and decided to hand place the cables in Blender and use Houdini's vellum to do the simulation. I've tried Blenders cloth and softbody simulations but I struggled to achieve results I was after.


The base of the shader was based on the tutorial from Kristof Dedene
