Made this with my last post and thought others might like to try it out. Snag it free here: artstation.com/undertow/store Place it in your scene, move it over meshes you want a spiderweb to connect to and have fun! #free #freestuff #techart #generator #tool #utility #houdini #sidefx

Getting into the #Halloween spirit with a creepy tunnel, all built and rendered in #Houdini. Still learning Karma rendering and had a tough time getting the noise out of this one. Seemed like its all specular noise. Some making-of steps here too: artstation.com/artwork/4N44Xn #3dRender #3dArt

One of the old #earthquake sim tests I made with #houdini It was a pretty fun experiment, along with a simple city and building #generator More clips here: artstation.com/artwork/xYdKNE #techart #simulation #quake #destruction #wip

Last #free HDA for a bit, but its another useful little utility. Similar uses as Delete Small Parts, but this will find faces with the smallest width or length, not just area. Snag it here: www.artstation.com/undertow/ #techart #sidefx #houdini #tool #techart #gamedev #3dmodeli̇ng

Here's a #free HDA that I feel like I rebuilt too many times before finally just making an HDA out of it. Comes in handy quite often! Snag it on ArtStation, with others: www.artstation.com/undertow/ #freestuff #hda #procedural #houdini #3dmodeling #techart #gamedev #3dart #indiedev

Another #free HDA for use with #houdini. This time its a simpler utility for checking problem spots on a mesh. Great if you need clean or airtight geo. Get it on ArtStation, plus others: www.artstation.com/undertow/ #freestuff #hda #procedural #sidefx #3dmodeling #techart #gamedev

Here is a tool I built in #Houdini recently and thought others might find useful. It's up for #free on ArtStation along with others: www.artstation.com/undertow/store Feel free to edit or add to it as you'd like, as well. #freestuff #hda #procedural #sidefx #3dart #3dmodeling #techart

Some of the main steps that my blueprint based level generator runs through. More info here, as well: www.artstation.com/artwork/P6D8bB #unrealengine #ta #gamedev #indiegame #leveldesign

I have been tinkering with a level generator (path to room, and repeat, with extra side paths at the end) and wanted to see how well it could tie in with PCG. More clips and info here too: www.artstation.com/artwork/P6D8bB #UE5 #techart #gamedev #procedural #blueprints

Just added an update & set of new features for my Facility Designer PCG tool. Added a guide vid of the features for both PCG tools too: www.artstation.com/artwork/qJX9dz #unrealengine #ue5 #pcg #techart #gamedev #gamedesign

Added another set of features and improvements to the #PCG Level Builder tool. Check it out on Fab: www.fab.com/listings/e3f... or ArtStation: www.artstation.com/marketplace/... #leveldesign #gamedev #tools #techart #procedural #UE5

Here are some other shots of my PCG facility tool. Works for all sorts of game types and styles. More on ArtStation: www.artstation.com/artwork/QKV9PL #unrealengine #ue5 #techart #pcg #procedural #leveldesign #gamedev

Its been a while, but here's a big chunk of what I have been working on, this #PCG facility designer for #UE5 I made the base version a year or so ago, but finally got time to finish it. The latest #unreal updates have helped a lot too! It's up on Fab now, as well: www.fab.com/listings/51d...

Another round of #UnrealEngine5 tips and shortcuts. This time they're for the editor. They should help with a smoother workflow, project organization and time savers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqC2... #gamedev #indiedev #gamedesign #ue5

I have been building this list of #blueprint #tips for #UnrealEngine for a while now and finally put it all together in a video. Let me know if you have other tips or anything to add to this here or in the video comments: www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1vR... #gamedev #techart #ue5

Some more shots and info on my #PCG level building tools for #UE5. Makes for some quick n easy #levelDesign and block-outs. www.artstation.com/artwork/kNn8Wx Works nicely with #landscapes like this too:

My #PCG Level Building tools are now up! Check them out on #Fab: www.fab.com/sellers/DC%2... or #ArtStation: www.artstation.com/undertow/store #UE5 #techart #leveldesign #gamedev #UnrealEngine5

My #PCG level building tools are back! I finally got some time to work on them again, and got them to a good stable place, plus a bunch of new features. These are just a preview, but more to come! Here is the original too: www.artstation.com/artwork/obv5gL #UE5 #gamedev #techart #leveldesign

This is most of the options that I built into that previous #PCG tool post. Its pretty fun to play with, but still a bit unstable. More work to come! www.artstation.com/artwork/WBZ5W2 #UE5 #Blueprint #techart #gamedev #tools #WiP

A similar #PCG tool to the dungeon builder I showed last week, but this one is meant for man-made structures. Everything is snapped to rigid angles, wall lengths, etc. www.artstation.com/artwork/elboNb #UnrealEngine #UE5 #Blueprints #techart #procedural #gamedev #indiedev

Another one of the somewhat random #Houdini experiments I made a bit ago: www.artstation.com/artwork/39KwXB It was fun to mix a RBD sim with some nearest point warping and #material masking. #VFXFriday #vfx #3dart #techart #rendering #lighting

Some of the options and abilities that I built into that #PCG tool I posted last: www.artstation.com/artwork/obv5gL Adding actor/prop spawns was pretty fun, since you can send parameters to a #Blueprint thru PCG too. #indiedev #gameart #3dart #techart #ProceduralArt #UE5

This is one of the #PCG tools that I'm working on for a game in #UnrealEngine. Its a dungeon generator that combines a set of splines with mesh sets to fill in the whole level pretty quickly. www.artstation.com/artwork/9Eo9xN #UE5 #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #techart

One of the smoke sim tests that I did in #Houdini for the last render I posted. Ended up only using a small part of it, but it was fun to watch from this angle. #VFXFriday #vfx #simulation #explosion #flipbook

Another #Houdini experiment with a randomized building generator and collapse. Plus some #vfx and a quick city generator to fill it in. www.artstation.com/artwork/XJBPRa Rendered with #karmaXPU #3dModeling #procedural #rendering #lighting #sunset

Another #breakdown set, this one is for the #volcanic #lava environment that I posted recently: www.artstation.com/artwork/r96JGE It goes thru some of the #Houdini mesh generation and #material vert coloring. #procedural #techart #flowmap #gameArt

Here's the #lava #material from the last #UE5 set I posted. It's a #realtime material using a vert color #flowmap, WPO and a few other tricks. #unrealengine #techart #VFXFriday #vfx #realtimeVFX #volcanic

Heating things up now with the #lava #environment set that I built for #UE5. www.artstation.com/artwork/LeK5Rv Meshes were made with #Houdini again and the textures with #SubstanceDesigner #realtime3d #3dArt #gameArt #techart

Here's a #breakdown and making-of that I made for one of my last posts. www.artstation.com/artwork/aG36AJ It shows some of the #houdini mesh generation, vert color and #UE5 material functionality. #techart #gameArt #gamedev #materials #snow #ice

Something for #VFXFriday with this odd little #loop experiment. It's another one that I made in #Houdini and rendered with #KarmaXPU www.artstation.com/artwork/dKvOq1 #vfx #abstract #diamond #splash #simulation

Keeping things frosty with the snow and ice set that I made a bit ago with #Houdini and #UnrealEngine. The #material was really fun to build with the snow and ice layers playing together. More info and shots here: www.artstation.com/artwork/03qOPE #realtime #gameArt #winter #arctic #frozen

Happy New Year all!! 🎆🍾 Hopefully, this one leads us somewhere a little nicer. #HappyNewYear #NewYear #UnrealEngine #portal

Another little #houdini #loop and rendering experiment. Cyber-pong! www.artstation.com/artwork/04Ra6w #retro #cyber #neon #rendering #lighting #pong

One of the somewhat random #loop experiments that I made with #Houdini recently. Rendered with #KarmaXPU too. More info and progress clips here: www.artstation.com/artwork/QXd0g4 #VFXFriday #3dRender #3dArt #abstract

More #Calvin&Hobbes snowmen! www.artstation.com/artwork/Evdlbv Modeled in #Houdini and rendered in #UE5 again. #fanart #snowman #3dArt #3dModel

It's about that time... #MerryChristmas! 🎄 These #free generators are still up for anyone that wants. There is one for the gift boxes and another for the string lights. Both use #Houdini hda's and can be run in #UnrealEngine, #Unity3D, #Maya, and more. www.artstation.com/artwork/OmLd5e

Another set of #Calvin&Hobbes snowmen, made in #houdini and rendered with #UE5 More render variations and making-of clips here too: www.artstation.com/artwork/w0Y9G9 #procedural #3dModeling #3dRendering #fanArt

Time for some wintery fun with #Calvin&Hobbes snowmen! I built a #snowman generator in #houdini and tried out a bunch of scenes from the comics ☃️ I tried a few different styles rendered in #UnrealEngine : www.artstation.com/artwork/g0n4mx #3dart #fanart #C&H

An #animated screen #material that I built with with options like fake-depth, glitches, flickering, and flipbooks. More #deadrop materials that I have made here too: artstation.com/artwork/Bk9xOr #gamedev #techart #unrealengine #realtime #indiegame

This round of #deadrop tools is all #ue5 #blueprint focused. I built utilities for weapon + skin previews, light swaps, megalift controls and more here: www.artstation.com/artwork/5W1m5W This clip is showing the track tool that builds roads with various decor, lights, etc from a single spline.

Another set of #deadrop tools that I have made, this time its all #houdini fun! More tools and info here: artstation.com/artwork/3EvR8o #procedural #techart #indiegame #gamedev #environmentArt

I started posting some of the tools and #VFX that I have made for the game #Deadrop over the last couple years. More info and vids here: www.artstation.com/artwork/K3ENEX These were early tests for a rising freeze environment hazard. #gamedev #UE5 #indiedev #techart
