This is a collection of some highlights of assets I created for our fourth game project at The Game Assembly.
Trailer directed and edited by me.
Houdini Tools - Procedural House Generator
Since we had limited time to create assets for our game, including many houses across multiple levels, I created a procedural system in Houdini that generated any number of houses at any scale our level designers needed. We streamlined the process by planning all the necessary house sizes, and I was able to export multiple variations to break up the repetitive architecture. The assets were constructed using a modular kit provided by our 3D artist, William Windvall .
CORE FUNCTIONALITY
The tool allowed:
-
Scaling of the houses in all directions to create custom shapes for level designers.
-
To automatically generate additional floors when increasing the base height.
-
To create custom house patterns by choosing window, door, and wall modules by typing in module names into a string input.
