about the algorithm failing, there is a recursive inplementation that I think solves that the theory of the inplementation is that, when you restrain adgecent slot posivilities, you also restrain ne neighbours of those neighbours you can notice this with some imagination and using a simple set like forest <> trees <> grass <> sand <> water, in which each one can only connect in that order

I don't understand what is so new about this? How all the other open world games did it without this workflow? I guess the same approach was used for numerous games before. It is nothing new. I guess you could do the same things with CityEngine. Just the functionality was ported to Houdini I guess.

Is this a reupload? Cheers from a graduate 👋

I’m so impressed they did that as first years!

14:35 Hold on. In a proc-gen talk, in a proc-gen game, you have identified or rather created a situation where you need hundreds of same-size rooms with a door on both ends and a puzzle in the middle, with a direction baked in. And your solution was 14:50 "labor-intensive work"? What? You could have generated thousands of levels and spawned your character in the bottom door of each and tested whether you found a fun solution - if yes, save that level. Or have a swarm of testers do that. Why in the world did you do all the rooms by hand after constraining the problem so perfectly? 19:59 saves it somewhat. With a level editor this good and the need to ship that to the users, it does make sense to use all that work. At 23:45 I do also want to point you to Oskar Stalbergs talk at SGC21, 6 minutes in, where he concisely explains dual grids and their incredible benefits when generating and drawing tiles. They are an important tool for this exact situation. Thank you for the talk!

Great work team 👏🏻

How to apply to university , I am from Uzbekistan

Guys, I have developed wfc algorithm, its working, but I think its not enough to make such castles which shown on 4:23. In my case its looks more chaotic, I understand that there should be probable some additional rules or combining with different algoritms, am I right? What kind of rules there could be?

I really hope there will be a second Bad North game 👍

Sled racer!

This looks really cool. What is this?

Je me suis retrouvé la après avoir lu la BD TREMEN et wow c'est du même niveau de bizarrerie magnifique

WOW. I MEAN WOW. AMAZING

Naaice ...

cool stuff!

Hi, the video recording stupps abruptly.

These are insane, and inspiring. Amazing work

This is one of the Entagma guy who helped me greatly in understanding Houdini. They are absolute legends. Very happy to see him from this video.

In fact, I think it's a great idea, they are a couple of geniuses.

this is a great video i had to watch it on loop and watch it twice...no third fourth more and more!

nice!

Great to see all this nice work, under the guidance and supervision of the esteemed mr. Hörchner among others

Holy shiiiiiiit this is cool

Awesome. Would love a higher res version of the graphs. We have PCG in unreal now....

Would you use PCG if you were to do that in UE 5,2?

I felt asleep a few times but awesome talk

The audio is barely audible unfortunatley... This is sad for a topic that is rare to find on youtube !

great talk and project!

Insightful. Glad to have the ideas of this very flexible system in the open.

Brilliant. Thanks!

Thanks

I don't feel like this algorithm is as good as people make it out to be. It doesn't really seem original, it's just someone put more time into it than others. Lots of generators had constraints. The fact that they're using a recursive algorithm over trying to take advantage of noise seems inefficient.

Hello Robert, @10:55 you mention that " once the layout was locked we transfer back the splines in Houdini and used in the city graph". How does one transfer data from Unreal to Houdini?

Very much appreciate the data/info and the time/expertise that goes into a video like this and many others...if I might add a suggestion? Perhaps find points of excitement and/or make shorter 'paragraph topics' (basically your bullet points) and vocally differentiate (louder...more colorful) those from their explanations. The content is already difficult to hype up just because it's data and it can be dry but I think for me, even though I'm excited and learning all this in my free time, it can be harder to remember the information if a longer, data driven educational lecture stays mostly "linear" or flat (I'm trying to avoid using the word "monotone" ). Just some friendly and hopefully constructive criticism.... not that you asked for it but having spoke in front of many many people, in the beginning I was terrified, I probably did everything they tell you not to do lol so trust me I'm no "Master Speaker." Thanks again for all your time and effort, you obviously know your stuff and I, have so much to learn... 😳 Take Care!

One of the best course on MDA. Thanks a lot

I've been trying to follow along with the Unreal Engine 5 tutorial for using the city sample buildings & houdini to generate a city. But it's incorrect & giving me so many errors. From coding errors to things misssing errors. I just want to learn to generate cities procedurally like you guys did. :( Can someone please help me, I've been looking in forums, tutorials & documents everywhere, I'm not able to fix the issues I'm having.

loooking for good tutorial for Procedural Texture in blender if someone can refer... did not find a tutorial from Simon yet lol

Game looks really cool :)

He mentions another talk somewhere in the video , but i cant find it

💔 p♥r♥o♥m♥o♥s♥m

Are the presentation slides available anywhere?

Wow. Very Cool. Thank You!

Inspiring as always :)

THE BEEEEEEEEEST!!!!

Stunning work guys, looks fantastic. The insights to the coding/scripting is welcome.

Well done! The game looks great too.

I watched this live and the quality was shocking, good to see a decent quality upload :)
