This is precisely what I need to further my skills in Houdini. Keep it up with the great free tutorials, I think this will help build the user base!

What do I do when I'm happy with geo, but still need to use the timeline to process another simulation?

[@chrisgg]

How can you scale up the terrain afterwards (in houdini). If I change the hf size everything looks very blurry and not longer detailed.

FOR FREE LICENSE USERS : please check whether you can import houdini digital asset into UE4. I had a problem importing the asset and stopped this tutorial.

[@the-astropath]

Check your Houdini version # - He's in 18.0.391 - so it may be a newer node.
