In this tutorial you will learn how to create a procedural Japanese castle generation tool in Houdini 20.5.
How to automatically generate interior and exterior using point instance.
The method allows to add portions that can interact with the player (e.g., opening the doors)
Provides the ability to speed up the creation of content for games.
The tool can be reused in different projects with different types of stylization, because we will use prefabricated props.

Thank you very much!

[@flifluflofli]

Question is that also for Beginner, I just start huodini I know principle from blender all but .. wonder if i can get into that ?

[@reh.4919]

Is there a portion of one of the tutorial files on Gumroad that we can see your teaching style? If you are too fast or too advanced to learn from, that would not be good. It looks high quality.

[@RaduCius]

Thank you! Ok, I will try to upload part of the video.

[@RaduCius]

Here I added a sample lesson video: gumroad.com/rart#YcpjX

[@reh.4919]

@@RaduCius Thanks Radu. I bought it a week or so ago.

[@hermonmogos9346]

Looks Great! Do you also show how you textured it or in UE4 or is that not included...as well as your trees and Skydome?

[@RaduCius]

Thank you! Everything seen in the trailer is included in the ue4 project

[@hermonmogos9346]

@@RaduCius thanks, I bought it.

[@yichen1009]

I brought the tutorial and this is so amazing！But I have a question is in Chapter 2[6], I found you have already put the models and materials and textures in Unreal Engine-Props, I don't know how, Thank you!

[@RaduCius]

Thank you very much! I answered you on Facebook, we continue the discussion there.

[@pawpotsRS]

can this tutorial be applicable to a beginner with some basic knowledge of houdini?

[@RaduCius]

Yes of course!

[@pawpotsRS]

@@RaduCius cool!

[@davinsaputraartandgamedev9453]

How about the procedural level tutorial? Any discount on that? I really want to study thay

[@RaduCius]

@@davinsaputraartandgamedev9453 Yes, i can make a discount. I send you the code through Artstation.

[@AlexandrNewman]

Is it destruction friendly?

[@RaduCius]

you mean if it is compatible with Chaos Destruction?

[@AlexandrNewman]

@@RaduCius yes, and also inside houdini itself for destruction sim. No intersections, closed mesh etc.

[@RaduCius]

@@AlexandrNewman Before answering I do some tests. I like the destruction :) So I'm trying to build the Engine, and enable the required Chaos Destruction plugins. Did you activate Chaos Destruction on 4.24?

[@AlexandrNewman]

@@RaduCius Hey Sorry for the late reply. No, I didn't, but even inside Houdini is it destruction ready model at the end? Meaning no intersection, the geo is closed and separate (many layers)?

[@RaduCius]

​@@AlexandrNewman So the props I prepared outside Houdini, in cases where the polygons are not seen I have deleted them and cases of intersection between geometry are. In Houdini we create procedural generation mechanism using the modular props created previously. And you can create the props according to the necessary requirements.

Not sure what's up for everyone else, but I won't trust a tut that has a vid in 4:3 lol

[@RaduCius]

Hi! the tutorial is 16:9 FHD 1920x1080. I only made the promo video in 4:3 format ))

[@lifeartstudios]

@@RaduCius for what reason though hahaha

[@RaduCius]

@@lifeartstudios In this format it is very convenient to make a beautiful composition, and to retain attention to the object in the center of the composition. And I really like old anime like Cowboy Bebop) In addition to all this in the posts on facebook and instagram it is more convenient to publish a 3:4 video.

[@lifeartstudios]

@@RaduCius hey those are super valid reasons man. I appreciate the old anime vibes a bunch actually.
