Hello,
I'm trying out the new PCG Houdini Digital asset node. I managed to generate meshes with my HDA on PCG points. As a next test I want to spawn a point cloud from my HDA into my PCG graph, but I haven't been able to figure out how.

In the documentation it says:

PCG data
The HDA PCG node can create raw PCG data instead of Unreal objects. For example, an HDA may sample a Houdini heighfield and return a list of points rather than a whole landscape. You can use unreal_pcg_params to export parameters and attribute sets.

How do I use this attribute? I couldn't find this attribute in the Houdini Engine for Unreal list of attributes.

Hello,
I've been working on this topic as well. There is a video from Entegma called "Houdini Game Tools Assembling a 3D Scan Of The Earth", going through another method for aligning osm with height.

Their way of downloading heightmaps didn't work for me so I ended up getting height data from QGIS and the plugin OpenTopology and other sources. I then used osmosis to clip the osm in the same region and the Entegma method of aligning it in houdini. I thought about writing a blog post to go though the steps as it's a bit complicated

Otherwise you might want to look into the "Mapbox on steroids" node that someone made, haven't tested it in a while so don't know if it has the same problems as the original.

Amazing, I was just looking for a way to control normal intensity and stumbled on this post, how do I add them to my project?
