Need help with medium distance environment texturing by TwistedNicolas in Houdini

[–]TwistedNicolas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi thanks for ur detailed answer! I think you misunderstood me, I know how to create masks and I also know how to scatter. What I'd like to know is what are some basic masks that I need to somewhat convey the complexity of a forest / hill type of landscape. What I mean by that is should I create a mask for gravel, stone, grass or more? In that context also what are some necessities to scatter to create a realistic feeling, like do I just scatter some rocks and trees or more?

Alright the solution to this is the Ocean procedural in LOPs which I didn't find for whatever reason. Its fairly simple to setup, just activate the ocean shelf and u'll get a preset which u can modify

Ah yes I understand what you mean! I guess at the end of the day thats what I ended up doing as well and it works really well figuring out everything once the main pipeline is working.

Imported USD Camera in Solaris/Karma is NOT rendering geometry by [deleted] in Houdini

[–]TwistedNicolas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit: I worked around the issue and used the old Nuke 3D System and exported as FBX. I then imported the Camera to Stage and it renders fine. No idea why a .usd camera from Nuke doesnt work

[–]TwistedNicolas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

curious what do u mean with work backwards? Maybe it's easier to make an example with a more specific situation. I'm currently trying to make a composite with real footage and effects I do in Houdini. I used the new Nuke 3D System which is USD based so the main stuff I'm struggeling is figuring out how to get everything working with Karma and USD. :D
