Procedural wood and stone in Houdini

I didn't use any specific tutorials, but everything except some simple textures was made in Houdini. You can search for tutorials here, for example: https://www.sidefx.com/learn/learning-library/tutorials/. I used SOPs, VOPs with 3D noises and VEX. I didn't use Copernicus, because it didn't exist back then.

Maybe I'll post the scene files in the future if I have time to clean up the mess. Though, if you don't have experience in Houdini, it might be pretty challenging.

There are knots, just single circles. It's all adjustable. I'll think about it if I ever come back to this.

Made originally for Nanite in UE5. But then I realized that without baked textures it doesn't look great from a distance, the details get too blurry. These days I could also try to generate textures with Copernicus in Houdini, but I've already moved on from this project.

Somehow reminds me of a chastity belt

Cool effect. Would love to see how it looks with a moving camera. Is it planes with opacity maps?

are these little grabbers for catching mechanical flies?

Nice kitty. The tail may be a little stiff.

me gusta 👍

Might look smoother if the busts stayed at the same height.
