In this video I am breaking down how I generated the ridge ("volcanic wall") on top of the dune we made in second part.
This may give you a good approach to generate rock model within houdini.


My scene's full project files (with AL_Tools included) are available on my stores (Houdini INDIE LICENSE ONLY)  :
