H20.5: Building a PBR layering asset in Copernicus

[@BroliestBro]

thank you for the digital asset 🙏

The ability to build HDAs like this to speed up specific workflows is what makes Houdini ultimately faster than shrink-wrap software like Substance in studio pipelines, even if it is technically slower/clunkier when looking at specific steps. The automation just builds and builds while in other tools, you're stuck with click click click manual, errror-prone labor.

4:23 blending normals this way will not output properly normalized vectors. I know this is subtle and some materials and/or renderers fix that automatically when rendering, but depending how the texture will be used, I think it's always good practice to normalize the vectors correctly. Great video though.

Definitely something for a future episode! Cheers, Chris

i would like to see how to manage assets with more than one uv . With udims with this new copernicus .

[@BroliestBro]

just split the geometry into different parts

[@Mallu_Bot]

can U pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee provide new workflow of UV mapping with H20.5

[@fastlearner292]

I think it's still the same? Has SideFX released some new uv tools I am unaware of?
