Blockout to finished Building || Houdini ideas

This video gives you an overall idea on how you can start with a tool that takes a box/blockout to a building.
Houdini Level: Intermediate
Some time ago I made this tool that works in Unreal Engine 4 and take your blockout and makes a final Sci-fi building from it.

With this video I want to show that with a simple setup you can do the same and start exploring this idea as well.
The Labs Building generator is a great way to demonstrate the idea. Even if you are not familiar with Houdini you should be able to use the Labs Building nodes.
More experienced users can build their own build generator and go as far as they want.

Quixel Assets were used in the scene.

Oh man you are my biggest inspiration to learn Houdini. I am finding it really hard compared to the other software I am learning, but today I made a procedural wall almost entirely by myself! Big milestone. Wall today, city tomorrow haha :D

I'm loving Houdini, and your tutorials are very good for diving in and getting a good idea of the (many) different ways to turn ideas into reality. Thanks!

This is amazing! Would really love to see how you go about creating your own generator.

@andyp123456 4 жыл бұрын

In Houdini, you can double click on most nodes and see how they are made. The labs building generator is quite complex, but you can look at the internal workings to see how it was created and figure out how to make your own generator.

Very cool. That Object Merge technique is awesome for using within UE. I booleaned out a little wall and plugged it in to the Bldg Gen Utility node, then to the Bldg Gen node, but my windows weren't cutting out. Just one big slab. I was wondering if you did anything special in your wall subnetwork you made? thanks again!

Amazing content! Just one question, if I use the built-in building generator from SideFXLabs as you shown in this video, Would I be able to reuse it by just changing the parts of the building? Say I have a 3d kitbash set already built but want to generate a whole new structure and variations from other modular pieces , Would that be possible with this workflow? Many thanks

Awesome video thanks for sharing. Please could you let me know what background mountains/Environment you are using in your Unreal Engine scene, looks great. thanks.

Thanks! I used Quixel assets to make the background. Mainly from the icelandic collection.

Great quick tutorial, I’ve been using and figuring out the building generator for a few months now. I think the object merge may be my final missing piece. Do you know if this works in unity as well, I had some issues getting it into the engine.

@simonhoudini5074 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, this will work in Unity as well. The menu/interface might look a bit different in Unity

Amazing work! Is it possible to generate spaces inside buildings also in a way that they are playable inside?

@simonhoudini5074 3 жыл бұрын

Sure you can generate the inside of buildings as well. Loop over each floor and get the blueprint or top view of each floor and divide it into pieces for rooms.

Arrimus for Houdini? could it be ?

@TheRedflash777 Жыл бұрын

could you please suggest, why labs generator utility node is being created not in zero coordinates? It shifts the geometry away by that value when trying to build the entire structure. In my case, I have to shift my wall_A block manually by x = -0.08, y=0.5, z=0.5, then it is placed exactly in the center of that utility. A bug?

I noticed u always end up making ur own tool instead of using the labs one. If u are in contact with the development team why don't they implement ur ideas in the official tools to make them better? is like u guys had a tool war

@simonhoudini5074 4 жыл бұрын

The Labs building generator was made for a general and most building types. But that makes it also a bit limited if you want a specific feature. So I wanted some more specific controls for a roof and other modular asset placement. It is also great practice building it.
