WIP: Fairies vs Robots July 3, 2025, 5:25 p.m.

Yesterday, i did some experiments with metalic, or futuristic mushroom houses (just the base shapes so far). maybe they are like little flying-saucer imposter mushroom houses and the stems are tractor beams, and this is where the robots could come from.

...

I made all the texture-me-bobs in COPs and i applied them with
"attributefrommap" SOP and also using LibraryLinker LOP (and friends). I need to experiment to figure out the best way to get these into unreal by HDA.

do lops work at all in houdini engine unreal?

I tried to use the instance lop in an hda, but i got:
