BUILDING AN ISLAND WITH VEX

The first episode of my building process of the floating islands of houdini.
It is based on a workshop created by Rohan Dalvi. A very detailed indepth course about the tools you need for this project.In this project I will only cover the steps I take. There will be still alot of additional information in Rohan Dalvis course.

My goal with this video series is my own learning and take you with me on that journey. I also going to bring as much of my own ideas  into this as possible.

Also I am going to update the techniques to the Houdini 16 version.
For example I am going to make heavy use of the VEX language and replace all older nodes like point sops.

Since I am a beginner myself this series will also be more suited for beginners BUT I am happy for every experienced Houdini user that might chip in with tips and tricks that could help in this project.

I am creating the top half of the main island by painting a heightmap.
