Recreating a Scene from WALL-E
DOWNLOADHOW TO ACCESS FILES?This project dives into some fun techniques like procedurally deforming geometry, making stylized sparks and lasers, setting up basic smoke simulations, and creating custom attribute masks for rendering. I’ve also included a Nuke compositing script (works with the non-commercial license).F...
Bookshelf packing | Houdini 20.5
DOWNLOADHOW TO ACCESS FILES?Building a system to optimally pack box-like objects onto procedurally generated bookshelves. The main idea behind it is to compute a bounding rectangle for each asset to be packed and then using UV layout algorithms for optimal rectangle packing over provided UV islands (the procedurally ge...
Simulated Geometry to FBX | Procedural Framework
DOWNLOADHOW TO ACCESS FILES?Building a procedural framework to skin simulated geometry and convert it to an FBX file. The joint placement, bone weight capture and position sampling is done procedurally with freedom for hand adjustments. This method can be used to bring your simulated geometry into real-time application...
Butterfly Transform
DOWNLOADHOW TO ACCESS FILES?This project is composed of a few small scale vellum simulation networks for the falling leaf geometry and bendy butterfly wings. Additionally the custom butterfly rig is driven by sinusoidal channel operators and turbulent particle simulation as the root motion driver. Finally the project f...
Umbrella Simulation | Houdini
DOWNLOADHOW TO ACCESS FILES?This project includes a procedural cloth simulation setup for an animated umbrella rig. You will learn how to create simple procedural geometry for the base shape, prepare cloth geometry for a vellum simulation, define relevant pin groups and post process vellum simulation output.Feel free t...
Playing Cards Shuffle Animation | Houdini
Playing Cards Shuffle Animation in Houdini:DOWNLOADHOW TO ACCESS FILES?This project includes a procedural 3D playing card shuffling setup using Houdini. You'll learn how to use VEX to create custom weight blended interpolation with multiple target shapes. Learn to drive this interpolation by reading point attribute...
Procedural Stitching | Houdini
Procedural Stitching in Houdini:DOWNLOADHOW TO ACCESS FILES?This project covers a method for procedural stitching animation setup in Houdini. You will learn how to map point pairs and setup custom channel operators to drive point interpolation via step functions defined in channel wrangles. You will learn how to stick ...
Procedural Modular Towers
DOWNLOADHOW TO ACCESS FILES?This project covers a method for procedural tower generation using a mix of procedural geometry and modular assets. The Houdini digital asset has a dynamic UI which allows for tower level creation and automatically updates the UI parameter values based on number of levels specified. Each tow...
A* Pathfinding | C++ | Houdini
DOWNLOADHOW TO ACCESS FILES?This project includes an implementation of an A* pathfinding algorithm on 3D Landscapes. The pathfinder includes parametrized cost function that allows users to adjust weights based on the edge slopes, vertical step distance, and turning angle. For efficiency, the algorithm is implemented in...
Height Field Roads
DOWNLOADHOW TO ACCESS FILES?This project includes Houdini demo setup that let's you define parametric road paths along input height field. The node configuration allows you to adjust the road width, blend sharpness and height. The setup also allows users to save the road mask as info layers and use this data in lan...
