OlaHaldor Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 The past Year I have been teaching myself Houdini, which I thought would be the ultimate "do it all" tool for maps. 🙂 With the toolkit I've made I can create roads which will adapt to and adjust the heightmap (including AI and traffic splines) create railway tracks which will adapt to and adjust the heightmap, and create the required spline for the train system create road barriers create cascading rivers with flowmaps create field dimensions which at the same time will smooth the rough terrain beneath, and export helper objects to create all the field dimensions in one click in GE texture the map using different selectors such as slope and height, road and railroad mask scatter rocks and cliffs based on different rules scatter trees based on different rules I Have more ideas for tools in the future! Below is a sample of most of the tools combined and how one tool can dictate where the next is allowed to work. For instance a road will create a mask, which tells the tree scatter tool that it cannot spawn trees there.   1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icolinmeiklem Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 i like it 🙂 may get it when giants start paying there modders better as £200 doesn't justify getting it for just farm sim modding 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlaHaldor Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 I can't tell you what to do - but I can ask; what other hobbies are completely free? Bikes, motorcycles, gym membership, racing go karts, drawing or painting etc.. Perspective 🙂  Anyway, I hope more will find interest in Houdini so we can build and grow the toolbox together :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
