Hey, It is time to start a new project :smile: . For a while I'm interested in procedural house generation and with this project going to make one. I already have the base structure of the house generator and some base modular models. If you are also interested in make a house generator I can really recommend following…
The house will be made out of meshes that are instanced. The last photo shows the modular kit that I'm using so far. So in UE4 you just drag and drop the models in the Houdini asset and it makes the house. The idea is that by creating variations on those models the house will look differently. The tool itself is mainly…
Thank you all guys! :smile: Here is an update on the project: I quickly updated all models and textured them, this took most of my time. After that I fixed some smaller bugs and miss placements of models. Further did some testing in UE4 and made a small city under 1hour. Also update time of the tool is around 4 sec. For…
Here is a new update. Found some time to work on it. I have made and added smaller props for the house. It is all procedural placed and still needs a few tweaks. The gif is form the viewport of Houdini. Using the current frame and putting this is the parameters of the tool. This creates makes that every frame a different…
The Tutorial is here! :smile: On artstation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX2avHp-zY0 I hope you enjoy the video and learned something new out of it. If you have any feedback or thoughts on it let me know. IMPORTANT NEWS I made a difficult decision to put the project here on hold. A reason for it is that I want to focus…
Nice work! If anyone wants to spend some...ok, a 'fair amount'... of money to learn how to do all this sort of thing in Houdini, there is a REALLY good tutorial series on Gumroad: https://gumroad.com/l/qaEZ Expensive, but she really goes in-depth to the hows and whys and how/what she had to think about to tackle the…
Thanks guys! Feel free to share thoughts or ideas. This update I have made a few changes. Explored a bit more the instancing. Made the switch from the Instance node to the object merge node with instance enabled. They both have pros and cons. (These pros and cons are what I have experienced and may be different for you,…
