Firstly thanks, this is intermediate tutorial not a beginner level. It helps to move pro level technics or provide lot of logic to achieve the final result.

[@KO28JOJO]

The King of Houdini Heightfield! I learn a lot from bro. Thx. I hope that you would consider in the next quick video something more about texturing using substance or mixer.

you are the ultimate hero of the extreme help seekers xd

[@th3_t3rminator]

this is great lesson you earned my sub keep it up!

[@dbharath6876]

[@ShariSolo]

Very beautiful

[@Gilloozz]

thanks for the video but are you going to talk about shading "?

[@dbharath6876]

please make this kind of terrains with shading and lighting, I would like to see them in more variations.

[@jemsophia]

Incredible as usual, thanks!

[@dyzdyz010]

Fantastic tools! Can I use them in a commercial project?

[@AdrienLambertvfx]

Hi ! You can use it on freelance project if you are using houdini indie, my tools are not usable with houdinifx unfortunately. (license restrictions)

[@aysenmx]

Thank you!

[@supaflykai]

Thanks Adrien, you're a boss!!!!!!

[@renderplanet5032]

there is no heightfield_noise node in my houdini help me please!!!

[@assuming_one45]

Where is the code for the noise smoothing out to the edges?

[@nicksushkevich]

Would love to see your exploration of using Gaea to calculate erosion for Houdini, Adrien.

[@manuelpeirofrias293]

what filetypes support Houdini as Hefield Maps? i have an ASC file, that pass me enginiers, but Houdini cant read it....

[@HoudinifxAlfredosanmartin]

Hi Adrien, I am completely fascinated with your vision of seeing further into distances, you are a genius and I want to understand you and learn : )

[@Onyro]

great tutorial! learnt soooo much! thank you!

[@aki_gong6271]

Great content! Thanks so much for sharing. Are you using a laptop? What type of specs? Thanks?

[@AdrienLambertvfx]

Thanks ! I was using a laptop back then, but I changed to a proper workstation now that I settled in Vancouver. :) It was a 16Gb RAM laptop with Nvdia GeForce 1080... Quite limited now but forced me to work smart and find way to optimize.

[@aki_gong6271]

@@AdrienLambertvfx Makes sense :) I'm planning a trip and thinking about getting a new laptop as current one is already 10 years and suffering s bit, so I'm looking for options and specs to renew it... Any recommendations regarding specs to check, graphic card, processor, etc? Thanks 👍

[@melodyyy7954]

how do i texture it?

[@viewee22]

Coool Tutorial!!

[@cityshakestudio]

Your tuts are always insightful and useful. Thanks Adrien.

[@Lars_Ekstrom]

@ 1:33 i get a little confused, what are you copying? Im sure your tutorial is very good lots of ways but i need to give you some feedback about your timing, while youre copying pasting and deleting stuff it would help a lot if you didnt talk about why it will be great in the future, it makes it a bit hard to follow.

[@giovannigrigoretti7326]

You Rock!

[@Gam3inGpR0Zz]

I’ve been trying to research and look into this but is it at all possible to scale a developed environment Down, for example my Environment is currently sized 2017x2017 which I find to big to work with inside UE4 Is there anyway to bring this down whilst containing the details of the landscape?

[@AdrienLambertvfx]

Give "transform" sop a try. ;)

[@lawron2407]

cassage de crane sur le fait que je narrive pas a activer la preview de 'erode, ni via le node lui meme ni via heightfield visualize, ca reste keblo sur la preview du mask rouge... je sais plus quoi faire, jai tout essaye...

[@lawron2407]

quel bleu, fallait juste activer les textures... la base, ok jai rien dis )

[@AdrienLambertvfx]

Bizarre ca, essaie de mettre un clearmask avant. Si ca marche pas, un truc qui foire avec ta build houdini ptetre.

[@lawron2407]

@@AdrienLambertvfx merci mec pour ta rep, mais c est moi qu ai disjoncte, javais pas les preview texture d enclanche (bizarrement d ailleurs) du coup jpouvais tweaker ca marchait pas of coourse btw, beton le tuto, efficace a souhait, jenchaine de heightfields en heightfields la ahaha ca tue, tfacon voila, houdini, ca tue de chez TUER ! encore merci man, tassure pour nous

[@lawron2407]

@@AdrienLambertvfx ps jtai envoye une req sur fb, jai une question par rapport a ton pack, en mp c es mieux, c est quand tu veux!

[@smittsluchianoTV]

im not finding any heightfield noise it doesnt exist on my end what am i missing here

[@AdrienLambertvfx]

Which version of Houdini are you using ?? if you try TAB and type "hfnoise" you don't get any result ??

[@smittsluchianoTV]

@@AdrienLambertvfx im on the newest i believe it's version 19? I'm brand new to Houdini I seen it's ability for landscape thats why I wanna check it out because im a environment artist in unreal engine 5

[@ChrisKania]

I love the tutorials you make. Your Patreon page is gone though. Is it coming back anytime soon?

[@AdrienLambertvfx]

Thanks ! indeed, specified in description my patreon is on pause right now. I'll relaunch some time next year. :) Cheers

[@monocore]

Hey Adrien! I'm tackling this with your videos. How do I generate a mesh with variable density in the convert node?

[@AdrienLambertvfx]

You can’t get that from a convert heightfield, you can then create a retention attribute with method of your choice (procedural or attribute paint) and use it into a polyreduce to decimate the mesh more or less based on that

[@monocore]

@@AdrienLambertvfx yeah, that was my thought too. To do it after, but the process to get that first mesh is so so slow I figured I might ask. Thank you!!

[@lux_art_studios]

its good tutorial, but when im try to export the mesh, this doesnt have any poly, somebody know what happen?

[@mayankjoshi1007]

Gotta convert it into geo. First, since it's basically is just voxels

[@OnkAnCa64]

Excellent, merci beaucoup très instructif.

[@FaddyVFX]

Interesting approach, thank you for sharing your thoughts. I learned a lot from it, thank you for your time.

[@masummitra7683]

Why not render

[@zdspider6778]

Have they changed anything (erosion-wise) in Houdini 20? Because it looks horrible... Unless your aim is to make alien planets. 😐

[@AdrienLambertvfx]

Don’t think they changed it much, default settings aren’t ideal and also depends a lot on the heightfield resolution. it can take quite bit of time to achieve right result,m. In this video I was playing real quick for demo the global workflow. But smarter people like Ari Danesh made thorough video about this topic here if you interested kzbin.info/www/bejne/mn2ZaIFsbL6agMksi=FNuNJ0CB0lnX-qd-
