Building Worlds with Houdini | Benoit Martinez | Houdini HIVE Paris
Working on the Ghost Recon franchise, Benoit and his team developed around Houdini an innovative and dedicated toolchain to shape the world and produce a wide variety of environments. This lecture will describe the techniques and technology behind this work and how they gave the artists the right tools to control large scale landscapes and small details. He’ll explain the procedural approach they adopted to create terrain, roads, forests, rivers and settlements, and how all those tools are connected to each other. He'll provide an overview of the tools and also the dedicated Houdini pipeline developed over years to create AAA game environments at Ubisoft Paris.
