Simon Verstraete shows how to create a sci-fi building generator using Houdini.

Technical/Houdini Artist Simon Verstraete shows how to create a sci-fi building generator inside of SideFX Houdini. The system, when complete, will allow you to generate random and varied looking sci-fi buildings instantly. “These are great to make cities in the background of a game or film,” Verstraete says.

The Building Generator can generate hundreds of different variations that go from a simple box to a detailed mesh. Simon Verstraete also makes the tutorial files available for download for a small fee. Check out the tutorial scene files and HDA here.
