Procedural environment and asset OPTIMIZATION for Games Using Houdini (Chapter 1)
Introduction In this article, I will walk through the process of creating a procedural environment and optimizing assets for game development using Houdini. The focus will be on modeling, texturing, and preparing assets efficiently while maintaining optimal performance for a game engine such as Unity. Project Scope The goal of this project is to model and texture the provided assets: a modular building, and a terrain with a road. Each asset has specific low texel density, pol

FX Breakdown: Flame Simulation - Vertex Animation (Houdini / Unreal / Unity)
In this short video, I present a quick overview of the "Camp Fire" FX creation process using Vertex Animation techniques. I used Houdini 20.5 with Sparse Fire Simulation and upres techniques for Unreal Engine 5.4 with Lumen and Unity URP/HDRP 2022.3.4. Watch as I showcase key steps, including geometry preparation, loop animation, shader creation, and particle system building for sparks, hot air convection, and burnout sticks.
