Using Attribute Blur and Relax to get interesting growth patterns

We will use Houdini and Unreal Engine to create a functional TARS character from Insterstellar.

Creation of a tree-generator custom solver using Vex. Additional modeling using standard SOP tools Flower custom HDA and animation with KineFX Texturing in Copernicus and rendered with Karma.

In this tutorial, I walk through the creation of a custom Houdini tool that generates natural and believable rocks from a simple base shape using a fully procedural workflow.

This course is for beginner to intermediate FX artists who want to create fluid FX in Houdini for real time application inside of Unreal Engine.

In this tutorial, I show how I built a lightweight and efficient Houdini tool to automatically generate edge damage and surface detail while keeping artistic control.

In this video you will learn more about texturing an asset for games using COPs in Houdini 21. This will be a full overview with a PBR workflow in mind. This means it will tackle Color, Roughness, Metal and Normal maps. This video is based on my Axe modelling video, then you will have a full breakdown on making an asset. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIGOF5nvPtA The approach will be something close to Substance. Building a setup that feel great to use and easy to add on top of it. This video can only be the beginning of a more complex asset setup. First will be baking, this means getting all the useful maps. Such as a Normal, AO, World Normal, Position,... This is a standard start but important as all maps will be used to create the final result. A color ID mask will be generated to mask and blend materials together. For creating materials you will see how to make a custom HDA that outputs a material. This will make it easy for us to add more materials quickly over time. Rather then setting up each map and material manually. Get Axe file https://siver.gumroad.com/l/lrnut
