This video is going to show how to create a cloudscape for Unreal Engine 4 using a skyrig that we're going to make in Houdini, then convert it to a mesh and use it as a spawn surface in Unreal. We're also going to look at how to create some basic textures for this effect.

В этом уроке мы разберем, как из произвольной текстуры создавать полноценные объекты геометрии в Гудини.

This is an in-depth review of the structure of a naturally eroded terrain and how to replicate it in Houdini.

This video shows one of the ways you could pack multiple pieces of information into a single texture.  The idea is to have more control over the look of an explosion…

In this video the cable tool will be upgraded with more features.

The video continues on the first part: https://youtu.be/6iOGo_xFymw

The cable tool is now even better by adding extra controls to change the gravity of the cable with the mouse. Simply dragging the mouse up or down will control the gravity.
This will make an even better demo of what you can do with Python states and that you HDA's to the next level. With Python states you can link mouse (or other inputs) to the parameters of a HDA.
Since we are working in Houdini there are also procedural and non-destructive advantages. After the cable is made you can still tweak values or improve certain areas.

Демонстрация работы простенького ассета для Houdini, который позволяет разделить SOP геометрию на отдельные geometry-ноды, опираясь на любые аттрибуты примитивов или точек.
Demonstration of little houdini assest that help split SOP geometry into separate geo nodes based on any attributes primitives or points.

This is a short real time cinematic done with Unreal Engine to test the highway generator tool I did in Houdini. I added the function to use referenced Unreal materials, this way is much easy to see the final results.

I have to say the inspiration came from a Lazy tutorial of @IanHubert a great place to learn Blender.

In this video we are going to learn how to set up the houdini.env paths so we can tell Houdini to load up HDAs that might exist in another folder outside of the default Houdini otl folder.  This makes it much easier to keep track of and store your custom hda libraries.

Перевод на русский язык учебного курса от SideFX – Creating Geometry With VEX.

Студия: ENTAGMA

Вы когда-нибудь думали о том, как создавать полигоны и полилинии в Houdini с помощью кода? На самом деле это довольно просто. Но вам необходимо знать кое-что о том, как Houdini организует и хранит геометрию в памяти. В этом видео вы увидите процесс создания геометрии при помощи VEX-кода в ноде врангла. После теоретической части будет показано, как создать замкнутый полигон, а затем вы узнаете, как соединить точки с помощью полилиний, чтобы создать эффект сплетения.

#Houdini

0:00 - Intro
0:12 - Copy random objects to points
4:12 - Orient objects
5:00 - Add up vector

Scripts:
point("../foreach_begin1", 0, myID, 0)
v@up = set(0,-1,0);

This is a new and better version of how you can copy random objects to points. Easy, fast, great control. Also you will see how you can orient your objects and set up vector.

In this video I will show how you can make a cable tool with Python.
Houdini Level: Experienced

With Python viewer states it is possible to have more interaction in the viewport. By simply clicking where you want the cable, the cable will go there.

This will take your Digital assets creation to the next level and show you the possibility of a more iterative way of creating and using digital assets.

Перевод на русский учебного курса от SideFx - Flowmaps Houdini for games.

В этом курсе вы научитесь создавать карты потоков с помощью нового инструмента Flow Map в Houdini. Вы увидите, как геометрия земли может контролировать скорость в карте, контроль кривых, а также как вручную можно влиять на карты, чтобы настраивать их более точно. Затем мы экспортируем геометрию, запечем карту потока и создадим русло реки в Unreal Engine.

** Interactive Python States | Click-Extrude Tool overview and Favela Generator demo **

In this video we take a look at python viewer states inside Houdini 18, and how its practicality can help technical artists develop interactive, easy-to-use tools for fast and smart content creation.

Here is the link to this full post, with further details, as well as the downloadable .hip file:

As I mentioned in the video, I'd appreciate any feedback, comments or ideas on how to improve this further.

Thanks, and I'll see you in the next one!

This video gives you an overall idea on how you can start with a tool that takes a box/blockout to a building.
Houdini Level: Intermediate

Some time ago I made this tool that works in Unreal Engine 4 and take your blockout and makes a final Sci-fi building from it.
https://www.artstation.com/artwork/xz5WkW
With this video I want to show that with a simple setup you can do the same and start exploring this idea as well.
The Labs Building generator is a great way to demonstrate the idea. Even if you are not familiar with Houdini you should be able to use the Labs Building nodes.
More experienced users can build their own build generator and go as far as they want.

In this LA Houdini User Group presentation Matt Wagar discusses his VEX procedural modeling workflow. Whether you're a beginner at VEX, or a pro, Matt will show strategies he's learned and created to enhance his procedural modeling workflow. Matt will also show his bridge asset inside the Unity game engine as an editable Houdini Digital Asset (HDA).
