Tutorial showing some ideas on creating layered rocks in Houdini. This was recorded to be included in my four part article series about procedural game asset pipeline in Houdini. You can read full article here (part1):  http://www.rendereverything.com/game_assets_with_houdini_1/

If you have some questions or comments, please write them here or in my blog. If you think this was useful for you or you would like to learn more, let me know.

Hi guys !

It's been a while ! A lot going on,  been finishing my contract at ILM and then working on personal projects and digital course while travelling.

Finally some news with a tutorial to generate cool looking props. In that case a torch and its support. This first part focus on creating the main torch and handle.  

You may hear some birds and a rooster in this tutorial that obviously wanted to be heard... xD

Would recommend to have some basics to understand this tutorial. Check this link if you wanna start learning Houdini :

please like and subscribe, that would mean the world to me. And do not hesitate to share your results via facebook or instagram !! (@adrienlambertvfx for both)
You've been quite a few sending me what you learned and I'm very proud of your work !  

Used ShadeIt to lookdev these assets procedurally, it's a very sweet tool for Maya/Arnold created by my old friend Wizix, more details here ! htt…

Discover the production techniques used on this year's SideFX game demo. Luiz will be sharing some details on a wide variety of tricks designed for game productions, including tips on Terrain, Houdini Engine, Sweeping Geometry, Stadium Crowds, Modeling and Texturing.

Thilo Seifert explained how he simulated a landscape with a multi-channel river in Houdini and UE4.

Steven Skidmore talked about the production of Procedural Rock Generation in Houdini and explained how he worked on the base meshes and textures for it.

In this video will be shown how you can make a game-ready knife in Houdini.The tutorial will not be focusing on making it fully procedural but will use advantage of using a more non-destructive workflow.This makes it easy to make changes after modeling certain parts. Small parts of the knife are not fully modeled but the video gives you a good idea how you can finish it further. By practice you will learn more!
This is a beginner friendly tutorial for people interested in Modeling with Houdini. Some base knowledge will be useful when watching the video.
This workflow is also know as a boolean workflow, most shapes are created by boolean operations. This can be a very fast way of working for hardsurface models. Total time spend to get the final result was about 1 hour and a half. Around 30 min for making the knife and about 1 hour on texture (using Substance Painter).

Using the Unity-Houdini Engine plugin, Luiz demonstrates a pipeline that lets you make and edit PSD files in Photoshop then convert them into full playable levels in Unity.

This in depth talk goes through the process of building this asset and explaining the different methods used for converting images into scatter zones, spawn point placements, terrain and more.

Junliang Zhang did a breakdown of his procedural terrain created with the HeightField workflow in Houdini and finished in UE4.

Howdy Guys!
In this next Houdini Python video I wanted to  answer a few questions I have gotten a lot of lately.  Basically the question is how can we have control over the exporting of our Fracture simulations inside of our game engines and retain a group for each piece in the fracture.  So I made a video that shows you how to make an HDA that will export your fractures to an FBX file such that each piece in the fracture is in its own group.  We will use knowledge of HDAs, Python, and Houdini to get this built out.

Hope you guys like it and find it educational!

Houdini Tool for Procedural Modular Environment inside Unreal Engine 4 (UE4). Includes technical breakdown, images and video examples.

Michael Goldfarb presents the second series of rigging in Houdini. Topics covered include updates on our previous character asset created in the first series; we will also look at how to capture geometry in general, look at bones and capture parameters, capture and deform regions, capture pose vs capture frame, aligning capture pose, capture types and finally, how to fix problem areas in our captured regions (using Edit Capture Regions, Edit Capture Weights, Paint Capture Layer, Capture Correct). To wrap this all together, we will apply everything we have covered so far onto the soldier character (he will get some bones and animation), and look at how we can correct problem areas, as well as quickly rig overlaying garment using the weights captured from the soldier body mesh, without too much extra cost.

For some time I have been using the Boolean and the Voxels together in Houdini. With this workflow you can make quick hardsurfaces, so in my case I have made a gun as example. With the boolean it is easy to make shapes and with the voxels you can make the highpoly for baking. I can really recommend you trying out this workflow and combine this with polyreduce and auto uv.
This idea has also been used in other software, like 3Ds max booleans and then use Zbrush to make Highpoly.
