Recently a new building generator has been added to SideFX Labs. In this workshop you learn how to use this tool to generate buildings for Unreal Engine. Starting from scratch with using simple shapes the buildings are created and basics are explained on how to use the building tool. Megascans assets are then used with the tool to quickly create good looking results into the game engine. - Фільми й анімація
Beautiful work, love the content as always. :)
Masterful. Thanks Simon, you are the best. This was so inciteful!!
Thx for this tutorial, pretty cool and easy to understand 😄
About the corners, there is a mistake in the code that does not allow for left and right corners to be used.
To correct this, allow modifications on the building generator node, then go inside and look for the "place pieces" node. Go inside it and look for the "grammar_expansion1" node.
In this node, you'll see this
CC_L = _corners[0];
CC_R = _corners[0];
Replace by this
CC_L = _corners[0];
CC_R = _corners[1];
Left and right corners should work properly
Thank you so much!!!
Have you been able to make concave corners work btw? I only can get convex corners to work.
@@sams_3d_stuff Yes but I had to modify the HDA a lot. Add concave variables into the building utility node, then in the building generator, add a "look for concave corners" setup and then write a wrangle node to replace convex corners by concave ones
I can't post links but if you go to the official Houdini forums and make a " building from pattern" search there is a thread where I give more details
You're a lifesaver mate!
The master is here........crowd is cheering simon....simon......
you must be his colleague who secretly hates him
We really need more about modifying the building tool to do some of the stuff you were showing with the Sci-fi base, etc.
Also interiors and floors would be interesting.
interiors seem to be really hard.
I wish the corner system was more robust like the original tool. This one makes rounded corners tougher.
Love it, can we also learn to do interior furniture placements?
Any luck?
Link to the UE5 Matrix video he mentions on Shape Grammar: ua-cam.com/video/usJrcwN6T4I/v-deo.html
Thank you!
Can someone explane how works CORNERS in this new system?
Thank you for a grate tools!
I would love the answer to that. Been trying to figure it out for several ours... but cant seem to get it to work. Have you possible found the solution?
Is there anyway to spawn door certain direction of the building?
I would like to know how much demand specialists who model procedural buildings and assets
Any one knows how t odo it with UE 5.1? For some reason the reference always add "/Script/engine.StaticMesh" and this does not work with houdini
Thanks for the video, but I have a question. When I define references from Bridge, the faces of the incoming parts are facing opposite sides. I tried on the axis directions from within the FBX files, it did not improve. I used transform node from within Houdini and it didn't work. This is my first try. I wonder where there is an error. Patterns are neat but do not fit well on modules. the axes are facing the wrong way. Do you have any suggestions?
I also encountered the axis orientation error in the import of Unreal, did you solve your problem?
@@user-qj2vv4rn7l yes it was solved, but it was stupid. I transferred the models to unreal via bridge. But there is no problem when imported from birdge in Unreal. It can also be solved with the Transform node. This situation is mentioned a bit in the Project Titan Building Tool series, which is already a more detailed tutorial, find it and watch it.
@@HalitHarun I've tried using Transform, but he doesn't work, it's bothering me, thank you, I'll see how he solves it.
@@user-qj2vv4rn7l Pay attention to the Axis of the model. You need to set this in the program you are using before referencing it. It's really frustrating. Moreover, there is a more detailed description of this stage. Tables part in Unreal Engine. Really complex processes are not as simple as they seem. I wish conveniences.
@@HalitHarun Gosh, I looked at the Project Titan Building Tool and it didn't fix my axis orientation error, I had used the cleared nodes before him and it didn't work.
why not Unity?
I've got this working with Unity. You just need to make sure you change unreal_instance attribute to unity_instance attribute. It doesn't support Unity tags though.
I'm trying to follow this tutorial on latest houdini version, 19.5.493, but there's some errors in the "building from patterns node". Anybody was able to make it work?
Same here, stuck right at the start with "invalid patterns" warning
@@semichaosstudio8139 just so you are aware, I got a reply from sidefx support saying "there is known problem with the Building from patterns". I'm now back to H19 and it seems to work just fine
@@nicoladanese2181 Thanks for the info, hopefully they could fix it sooner than later. No luck with H19 either on my side...
Update: installed labs package 19.5.501 today and it fixed the issue :)
@@semichaosstudio8139 that's great! may I ask if you try it with UE 5.1?
How to make the roof in houdini?
Simon creates a roof for this system in the Project Titan Building playlist you should be able to find it here

怎么有点像wfc那个猫猫，[猫尾] [猫头]。太好了，让世界充满猫吧
Also, we need more love for Unity these days. :(
