make an environment with PCG 🪨 - import height... and layer maps from Houdini for the Landscape - try HLSL to edit point transforms - place grass on the placed rocks with CopyPoints node #ue5 #gamedevshow more

procedural rocks 🪨 - make rock geometry and textures... - export fbx and png with variations using TOPs - use the Remote Control API plugin to call UE5 python from Houdini for importing them #houdini #ue5 #gamedevshow more

want to get used to 2d volume. 🐷 -... prepare 2d volume in SOP. - get 3d sdf value from other VDB model with volume wrangle node. - import it into COPs and remap for height map. it's not geometry deform but displacement map, so low polygon is OK. #houdinishow more

learned how to use the GetDynamicMeshData node today. 🪵 #UE5

Material for my introduction course to volumetric rendering/raymarching using... custom HLSL node in UE5.show more

make mask with SDF VDB to deform geometry 🍩... - I usually use wrangle - try to use OpenCL to get used to #Houdinishow more

make a mech surface texture with COPs ✌️ -... use the texture with different UV scales for the same 2 models - adjust the displacement map heights to overlap 2 models #houdini #copernicus #apexrigshow more

Weld 🫠 using Height Map and Normal Blend with... OpenCL in COP, not SDF VDB Union. #Houdinishow more

another version of the last post. 🪨 - use... OpenCL in COP instead of volume wrangle in SOP. - learned it from the official Sweaty Jimmy sample. #houdinishow more

Updated minimap system with item interaction. All the maps... will be hand-painted. ➡️ Soon on Kickstarter: #gamedev | #indiegame | #indiedev | #UE5 | #screenshotsaturdayshow more

You can smoothly mix gradients using Distance, Noise, and... Power nodes to create a dynamically controllable falloff with texture variation. Replace the Noise node with any texture sample for more customization #VFX #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngine #gamedev #UE5show more

Now it's Houdini X Unreal Engine 5 X Quixel... :') I added materials, smoll rocks, and big ones the glows when they get closer. Really satisfied by how it looks now! #UE5 #UE5Study #unrealengine #VFX #RealtimeVFX #Niagara #indiedev #indiegame #shader #Houdini #エフェクト #gamedevshow more

Took a break from Houdini and got to work... on setting up the tattoo girl in UE5. Here's a quick test for the earrings' physics.show more

Coming soon: OptimAI Claw Native personal agents for Core... Nodes. Gather. Analyze. Monitor. Execute. Directly from the node layer. This transforms Core Nodes from infrastructure → into persistent agent runtimes. The execution layer is coming online.⏳show more

I'm trying out the custom HLSL node feature of... VFX Graph (available from Unity 2023.2). Now I can extend VFX Graph with custom shader code.show more

Michael Simard replaced Unreal Engine's grass with the GPU... PCG solution he created for Michael Simard 2.0, which shows FPS jumping from 15 to 60. Check it out:show more

baking textures with COPs is good. 🍠 #Houdini
