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

Local Video → Text Transcription Tool (Offline, GPU/CPU) A small and practical tool that converts your video files into text directly on your machine — with no cloud services, no uploads, and no limits.

JackPressed - v1.0 is a Python-based image compression and resizing tool designed for efficiency and ease of use. It supports batch processing with multi-threading, smart alpha handling, and power-of-2 resizing, making it an essential tool for developers, designers, and content creators. Features ✨ 🖼️ PNG : Supports both oxipng  (lossless) and pngquant  (lossy) compression. 📸 JPEG : Custom quality mapping for optimal compression. Smart Processing Multi-threaded batch operat

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

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,

The Folder-Based File Importer  is a custom Houdini Digital Asset (HDA) designed to streamline the process of importing multiple files from folders directly into Houdini. Original Local Rotation Orientation Checking and changing the Local Scale and Orientation of Geometries is Made Easier with This Tool Technical Insights Batch Importing with Subfolder Scanning The tool can scan directories recursively, including subfolders, to locate and import files with user-specified exte

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.

Material Path Manager is a Houdini tool designed to streamline the process of managing and generate materials in your projects. This tool automatically generates material names from geometry string attributes, ensuring consistent naming conventions across different platforms such as Mantra, MaterialX, Arnold, etc. and different game engines such as Unity, Unreal. The workflow involves: Creating a "path" attribute from any geometry to establish naming consistency. Automaticall
