59 ratings

What you will learn:
In this tutorial you will learn the procedural modeling from fundamentals to advanced level.
In the first part we will start to create the escalator elements and gradually we will move to more advanced procedural modeling techniques.
In this part you will also study:
How to create vertex mask in Houdini for UE5 materials.
How to add rig and export animated steps.
How to add collision, and assign UE5 materials.
In the second part you will study more advanced techniques of procedural modeling, tools development (1_Group Select, 2_ProceduralBox With Cables) and procedural uv creation.
We will also create procedural uv for trim textures.
