This is some work in progress of an asset I'm currently working on.. I was playing around in houdini today and this is what came out of it..

I hope you guys like it!

Still need to tweak it on some points, finding ways to make this better..

Pretty neat idea! Is there a way to have different distributions of sizes/shapes of rocks? For shorelines with pebbles fading into sand, or even other types of ground debris (like wood chips), it'd be really nifty.

Yea I can try something like that!

this is a great idea. any chance to get a hip file to check out your methods?

thanks!

Its a quite easy setup, I would do more cool stuff to it with the knowledge I have now..

Here you go!

wow thanks for posting that so quickly! checking it out now

This is faster than doing two exploded views which uses two foreachs + other nodes twice. Have a look at the attached file.

thanks johnny !!

Thanks, could be very useful
