@seo_rak This goes hard

Check out this #Houdini Landscape and Set-dressing Tool I made for a game project, working inside of #UE5 with the help of Houdini Engine. Textures and foliages meshes are made by @Reinamiie.

This is a sparkly bridge I made recently for a game project. I created the system, the shader and the VFX. The textures are made by @Reinamiie.

First time playing around with RBD in #houdini and VAT in #UE5💥

[Olivier Dral @oli4dral]

Little demo I have been working on with @BlueBendyPencil - learning to use TOP networks in #houdini to generate large amounts of gas planet space stations, playable in #UE5 with #StarWars spaceships!💫🚀

[Olivier Dral @oli4dral]

For the past 6 weeks I have been working together with @BlueBendyPencil on a #houdini Toolkit for an optimized facial animation pipeline, with the use of Audio2Face.

I now proudly present the result:

I'm excited to announce that next week @BlueBendyPencil and I will be presenting our Audio2Face Toolkit at @everythingproc!

We will be discussing our toolkit's features, it's pipeline benefits, and our learnings.

Credits go out to David Rhodes for setting up the base-system for this tool about a year ago.

Additional thanks go out to @YCopijn for providing test rigs and test MoCap data.

A compilation of recent work for #PortfolioDay! I am grinding out skills to work towards landing a Concept Art / Illustration Internship in the coming year

[Olivier Dral @oli4dral]

After making a GeoJSON Importer for Houdini a while back, I now also made one for Maya!

Example here is from the Watabou City Generator.

You can get the file here. In Unreal just add it to your Python directory, and import MeshDensityEditing.
The functions are:
- GetDensity()
- SetDensity(threshold:float,LODlevel:int)
- SetDensityNanite(threshold:float, LODlevel:int)

[Olivier Dral @oli4dral]

Been working on this #python in #unreal tool for mass mesh optimization in the scene.

Through it's 3 core functions, you can get mesh density, lower the mesh density or turn on nanite on all meshes above a certain density threshold.

My friends and I made a game in 48 hours for #GlobalGameJam2023. Quite proud of the cute little game we ended up with :)

You can check it out and play it on itch!

For the past few weeks I've been working on this #houdini #procedural racetrack generator for year 2 teams at @BuasGames who are using it in their own custom game engines. Check out my posts for more :)
