Houdini Engine for Unity Documentation

Houdini Engine For Unity

Houdini Engine for Unity is a plug-in that allows integration of Houdini technology into the Unity Editor.

Through Houdini Digital Assets (HDA), this plug-in brings Houdini's powerful and flexible procedural workflows into the Unity Editor. Artists are able to interactively (via UI), or through scripting, control asset parameters inside the Unity Editor, then "cook" the asset which generates output geometry, materials, and textures that can be used in the game world. The plug-in also allows Unity geometry to be sent into Houdini to be used as input, for modification, and/or manipulation.

Note that this is a completely new version of the Houdini Engine for Unity plug-in. Please see the About Version section for more information.
