Height Field Modeling with Guide Points - Houdini Tutorial

[@KonstantinMagnus]

// VOLUME WRANGLE
vector pos[] = detail(1, 'pos', 0);
float weight = 0.0;
float height = 0.0;
foreach(vector p; pos){
float d = distance2(v@P, set(p.x, 0.0, p.z));
float w = 1.0 / (d * d * d);

weight += w;
height += p.y * w;
}
f@height = height / weight;

More info than most 30 minutes tutorials in just 6! You set the level very hihg :) Do you plan on doing a more indepth dive into the heightfield related nodes?

[@KonstantinMagnus]

Thank you Sam!
I think most height field nodes are well covered already. But I might show some more, custom methods to create height fields or masks in the future.

@@KonstantinMagnus Could you just explain the way you made the visualisation for the thumbnail of this video ? Thanks!

[@KonstantinMagnus]

@@yesthatsam Sure, I've interpolated a color vector instead of the height attribute. Does this help?

[@yesthatsam]

@@KonstantinMagnus Yes it does ! Will give it a go :)
