Rohan Dalvi – Procedural Modeling in Houdini

Welcome to procedural modeling in Houdini. The idea behind this training was to take a character model and then generate an armour or a second skin on top of it completely procedurally, and also have the armour or skin design change every frame to give you multiple variations.

Over the course of the training we shall cover a variety of topics such as, pattern generation using voronoi fracturing and clustering. Using VDB for adding details to the voronoi pieces. Generating wires using a variety of groups and find shortest path and other methods. We’ll also take a simple look at how to bake the details down to a lowres mesh using the mantra baking tools and substance painter.
