In partnership with ARTPOINT, CNIEL offers you the experience of digital art. Discover in this exhibition, an artistic collection revolving around the theme of cheese!

Their main artistic tools are 3d software packages HoudiniFx and Unreal Engine, enabling them to be at the core of artistic possibilities.

Translating different processes from the cheese production, we create different worlds of different scales to take the viewer on a journey.
By using complex simulation techniques we are able to discover the true sensations behind the abstract world of cheese.

The beginning and the end of the creation of the work are very opposite. The process of creating the work is very similar to food production, and in this case, cheese making. The starting ingredients are not what you will eventually sell, but the result of a long process of making and mixing that will give the final result: the cheese or the work.
The collaboration between Jakub and James allows this idea to be abstracted in a creative way, as they mix their own interpretations and responses to find a good balance in the art they create. It is this mixing and reinterpretation between the two of them that they find exciting as a creative process, which helps them find something new.

After some initial testing, Jakub and James discovered that the Soft bodies system would be best suited to achieve the desired result – creating fabric-like movements with a light, elegant feel. This system takes all the surface points of the geometry and connects them all together with constraints that ultimately drive the entire animation and behavior.

In order to artfully direct the structure, it was necessary to create custom controls for disintegration to animate the gradual separation of individual pieces in an abstract environment.

The right rendering was found in the use of complex liquid simulation techniques to melt objects on an abstract surface while mixing the colors and properties of two different liquids.

about the cniel
The CNIEL was created in 1973 by cow’s milk producers and processors. It is the place where diagnoses are shared and collective actions are built in the interest of all stakeholders. The professionals of the French dairy sector work together to build common standards, particularly in the areas of dairy economics and milk quality. The CNIEL communicates and promotes the assets of the French dairy industry. It develops scientific expertise (surveys, research programs, etc.) which helps to strengthen the competitiveness of the sector’s players and to defend the image of milk and dairy products to develop demand in France and for export.
