TOTAL DURATION: 3h 1m 29s

Learn how to build a PDG network that converts a basic input mesh into a detailed high poly model using a procedural workflow. Learn how to set up the network to run multiple input meshes through the network to automate the generation of multiple variations.

PDG is a procedural architecture designed to distribute tasks and manage dependencies. PDG is designed to describe these dependencies visually using nodes that generate sets of actionable tasks then distribute them to multiple cores on the same machine, the compute farm, or even the cloud.
