I've only been learning Houdini in my program for about a month. I am really into NPR in unreal and blender so I was trying to do something similar here. Only had a few hours to do it and I couldn't quite figure out how to render it(rookie problems) so here is a screen shot.

going for some hatching effect with the normal and depth passes.

Yaay! Finally made it! Had my last day of a 4 Week Crunch on friday so getting started on a quick and dirty scene was so relieving.
Messiest scene I have created in a very long while ^^ Hope you like it.
Cheers - Ole


Here's the link to a little walkthough video of the scene.

Mardini 2026 – Day 01 – Plant

Day 01 done 🌱

A procedural dried tree built from a simple curve,
then pushed with noise for natural breakup.
Everything stays parametric and adjustable.

Excited to see where the next 30 days go.

Rendered with Karma XPU.

First day’s entry. Didn’t have time to add textures, but I’m happy with the final look.

My first submission for Mardini yaaay!

I couldn't finish at all, unfortunately ran into a lot of crashes and side quests struggles xD
But also definitely learned a lot and will hopefully be faster for the next time!
