How I built a layer-based procedural explosion tool in Houdini — from velocity setup and Pyro simulation to VAT export and Six Point Lighting in Unity. A breakdown of the system architecture and the thinking behind it.

Technical breakdown of a camera-driven procedural transition using controlled chaos, soft-body simulation, and spline-based velocity fields in Houdini.

A procedural Houdini tool for fast skeleton generation, consistent joint naming, and reusable rig presets. Designed for game-ready skeletons, Apex workflows, and batch animation export.

A technical case study describing a USD-based pipeline for interior design, focused on parallel workflows, scene structure, asset reuse, and cross-DCC collaboration.

Procedural environment creation in Houdini chapter 1 focusing on asset optimization, modular scene construction, and production-ready workflows.

A production-oriented breakdown of a procedural tire generator built on real-world automotive dimensions, demonstrating stable scaling, tread logic, and sidewall systems.

This Houdini tool was built to export animation and data from Houdini into Adobe After Effects in a clean and predictable way. When working with simulations, procedural animations, or technical setups, it’s often necessary to bring motion data into compositing tools. Doing this manually or through ad-hoc scripts quickly becomes error-prone and hard to maintain. This tool provides a simple and structured way to export data from Houdini and reconstruct it inside After Effects,

Houdini tool for importing geometry files based on folder structure.

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.   Like this post?
