Cape Sundew

The Cape sundew catches insects with hundreds of tiny tentacles, each tipped with a drop of sticky mucilage. During a 2024 scientific illustration workshop, I produced an short 3D animation showcasing the beauty of this bizarre plant.

I purchased my own Cape sundew to study over the course of the project.  Macro photography and pencil sketches were used as reference material while I created the procedurally animated rig in Houdini.
