How to Make Grass in Houdini - Earthbound 3d Part 6

Koichi Donovan Nakai (Don)

In this Houdini Tutorial I will quickly go trough the steps of how I created 3d grass in my Earthbound scene. I will use Houdini's procedural workflow to generate grass on any given shape. The Houdini operators and topics we will quickly go over are copy stamping, bend, sweep, Boolean, scatter, transform nodes, and much more!

Crown Prince Poo of Dalaam. He fights with his fists, unless you can score the Sword of Kings- a rare 1/128 drop from The Starman Super in the factory area of the Stonehenge Base. I remember it took me all afternoon to to get that sword...

Don't worry guys, I'm still working on it. Here is a sneak peek episode before I release my next "How to make Earthbound 3d in 1 Minute" tutorial vid. Please note: this is only fan art!

Cloud Player 2 Amiibo is well sculpted, the light rolled nicely across all the subtle nuances of this piece. Simply classy. I enjoyed experimenting with more lighting techniques. The streak you see behind cloud is an led light inside a glass jar swooshing across a long exposure. Good times.

Pikmin Amiibo

Spent the past week camping in the forest. The fresh air, rest, and time with the fam was nice. It feels good to come back to civilization, and to a new Pikmin Amiibo! I think this is one of my favorites.
