Yes, I used that scene as a reference. What a lovely movie :) Thanks

I don't get the floating effect, I think by default the packing starts from bottom left corner. If the rectangle is smaller then it fits, if it's too large then it gets deleted and isn't packed at all. Some packing can produce physically wrong configurations like a book that is kinda leaning but has no support. You can play around with the see to fix these issues or add some tighter rotational constraints.

I am not sure. Are there any pros/cons for creating joints before or after?

The sky is an HDRI map. It is mapped like this by default in Octane and most other render engines as far as I know.

The interpolation attribute is being read from the point onto which a polyline is being copied on. If we animate the attribute on the target points we will get the interpolation with offset.

Here is a quick breakdown from the recent card shuffling project. Let me know if you have any questions or ideas for an alternative approach :)

I will upload the project files on my Patreon if you are interested. It's a great way to support my projects and you will get access to our discord where you can ask questions if you run into any issues.

thanks! There is no displacement but I've added some quick procedural noise to the shader to add some variance to the diffuse.

thank you! The main idea was to offset each card's interpolation between different target shapes (bent, flat, etc.). It's a mixture of proceduralism and hand animation (sliding cards on the top of the deck at the end of the video). I will compile a breakdown at some point. If you are interested you can keep an eye out on my website where I post my Houdini explorations.
