'Just Houdini It' - Using Houdini Effectively for Game Development
Houdini has quickly become the shiny new tool in game development with studios ranging from indie to AAA keen to benefit from the prospect of generating an immense amount of content in shorter time periods. The internet is filled with countless examples of exciting projects showing off the end results, but it can be hard for non-Houdini users to understand the possibilities and limitations of Houdini tools. Having a better overview of this will be helpful in understanding where Houdini can improve workflows for your team while avoiding common pitfalls which often result in painful and costly work farther down the development pipeline. In this talk you will learn where Houdini can be used in game projects, how to effectively communicate about potential tools and you’ll learn some helpful tips for building your own tools.
Takeaway:
- Insights on using Houdini for procedural generation and as a pipeline tool.
- How to communicate about tool requests, goals, and scope.
- Helpful tips for building your own Houdini tools.
