For the last 15 years, I've been building tools for Maya.
About 12 years ago, I started rethinking Maya from the ground up and wrote a plan to reinvent every tool. The original dream was a single, all-in-one product that would change everything, and I spent years working toward exactly that.
But a product that ambitious was always years away. So rather than make you wait, or just release small products, I decided to release it the way it should have been all along: as a series of focused tools, each one reinventing a different part of Maya.
This is the first: a sculpting toolset that brings powerful, GPU-based modern sculpting right inside Maya, no round-tripping to another app, no breaking your workflow.
And this is just the beginning!

For the technical art bootcamp offered by @VertexSchool I created a tool in Unreal using Houdini and Python. It is the capstone project that gives you structures comprized entirely by instanced assets. Check it out at https://t.co/jTFwfJX3Ya

Houdiniでリファレンスの写真からscatterする手法

こんな流れみたいです。
1. 写真をカメラプロジェクション
2. そこにscatterして、写真の色をポイントにも持たせる
3. 木のタイプに合わせてpointをsort

There is an annoying issue in Maya where actions with attributes work only for a single object

I wrote a simple script for replicating things in batch, releasing it for free, link below

A little bit more progress today with implementing using guide curves to control how the ivy grows. Next, using a mask to create avoid areas.

If you are interested in anim related Tech art, there's a discord I found pretty useful, called "Tech Anim Corner". I'll put the link in comment

I’ve been working on this Python script for a while, and it’s almost finished. I really wish #Houdini had a feature like #3dsMax, where you can archive an entire scene regardless of where the files are stored.

It’s especially handy when things get messy to have a quick way to gather all the necessary files for that scene. I came across a Python 2 tool that sort of did this, but it wasn’t exactly what I needed, so I built my own.

Still making some tweaks, but it’s getting there. Missing files are marked as red, but you can open a file browser to relink that missing asset.

The UE5 C++ Course update has really gotten out of hand and getting so much better than I could have hoped for. Every line of code has been reconsidered and tons of new concepts are included (such as data-oriented programming for performance).

It's taking a TON of effort, but will be so worth it! And the best part for existing students is that the UE5 upgrade is entirely FREE!

[Ciro Cardoso @Cyrus3v]

All courses at VFX School are now free.

[Ciro Cardoso @Cyrus3v]

While working on the Ghost of Yōtei – The Hunt Begins cinematic trailer at Goodbye Kansas, I was tasked with rebuilding the entire house interior based on a layout file. That meant matching translation, rotation, and non‑uniform scale for more than 1,000 objects.

Houdini’s Extract Transform node has a few limitations, so I ended up diving into the world of matrices, oriented bounding boxes, eigenvectors, and a bunch of other fun math to build a tool that could extract transforms far more accurately. I still need to clean it up a bit and add a few parameters for extra control, but this little tool helped me rebuild the whole environment in just a few hours. Once it is ready, I will make the HDA available.

You can check out the environment on my ArtStation:

Running out of samplers?

This trick lets you use up to 128 textures in your material.

Great for complex landscape materials...

Just finished editing a 15-min guide on Nanite Displacement.
All setups - Real time displacement, DCC approach and prebake in UE Mesh window with pros/cons. I will also be releasing a full paid tutorial with details of the workflows - Blender, Unreal, Zbrush and texture driven one.
Why It is not published already? Because I am recording final practical demo. Also, I need catchy name and icon for youtube XD Suggestions welcome!

for anyone looking to learn speedtree, i put together these images to roughly explain the basic functions

my dm's are open if anyone needs further help

[Shaders Bible Series @ushadersbible]

We wrote Godot Shaders Bible in a linear way: first you learn core concepts like the render pipeline, then you jump into building different effects like distance-based transparency, post-processing, portals, and more. Take a look 📎 https://t.co/Y8QbVTYpRc

Amazing what a few masks and wpo can do to really bring some life to it.
