Ari Danesh takes a look at procedurally modeling flora in SideFX Houdini, with this first part that will demonstrate L-System sequencing, that can be used to create a few different plants, such as trees, ferns and grass.

Part one of Flora lessons will be focused on LSystem sequencing

Here, Ari demonstrates creating grass in Houdini using techniques for building and rendering curves, in fact, the entire scene will be created without any geometry at all, as Mantra has the ability to render out curves in Houdini. This is actually part one of the Next Steps series looking at procedurally modeling Flora in Houdini, Check out the post for Procedurally Modeling Flora in Houdini here.
