We were given a photo assignment and also a weekly challenge.
The photo assignment required us to take photographs that relate/show to a certain topic.
For example we have to find photos that demonstrate line quality.
As for the weekly challenge, we had to create a cave in Houdini and make it that I can spawn roots dangling from the roof of the cave, make roots grow around rocks and spawn rocks around the cave.
We have to learn how to use the L-System in Houdini to make the roots and makes use of volumes to create a cave.
We were luckily given lots of tutorials from CMIVFX, Digital Tutors and more by Side Effects. There are a lot of useful tutorials that can help us out on the project and the assignments.
I found a procedural road tutorial that I immediately tried out. Here are some pictures of the first asset built from the tutorial.
Note that this is the first most simple model in the tutorial, there will be more advanced things covered in the three video tutorial series.
Hopefully this can help me out with the trench asset I am trying to create. In fact if somehow i cannot manage to create exactly what i wanted, this is a decent backup. This model can already work as a trench.
Anyway, this restores some hope for the project (at least for me). To be honest for the past few weeks, i have been skeptical of us creating something good.
Now I believe we can achieve something good here.
That is all.
What about adorning your trench with rocks, vines, roots, and grass?
