I explain how to setup a river-flowmap in Houdini and cover 3 major problems I encountered.

Thank you for this mini-serie of Houdini Unreal river stuff, and providing resources as well. It's been really helpfull. I just want to specify I also "fixed" some line artifact I had in Unreal as well by switching the Flowmap's Texture Compression to VectorDisplacementMap. Which makes sense actually, but when you don't know, well... you don't know ^^'

Great overview, can you do more houdini to unreal stuff?

Thanks Simon for those great explanations! I however got something wrong in my scene, trying to build a small river, and wanted to check your scene, but I can't find any hipfile in your download, am I missing something? Thanks :)

[@HoudiniSimon]

The zip should contain an HDA which you can add to your houdini scene by choosing "File > Import > Houdini Digital Asset". Hope this helps!
