Free Masterclass: Complex Cliffs and Bricks in Houdini​

hello everyone and welcome to week five and this week we're going to continue learning how to create a variety of new assets and try and push the volume setup that we've we've created previously to another level and i'm going to start with this example and we're going to learn how to add color variation between the blocks see

here we have color shifting so we need to add information in the volume data for to allow us to do this and this is something really complex but hopefully it's going to be super easy to create with the help of vdb and then we're going to learn how to create a variety of other examples we're

going to learn how to do volume subtraction create something like this and then we're going to create this element here i don't remember all the techniques but i want to show the the method that i used because it's very important to understand the underlying geometry that i used before the the processing because that plays

a critical part in in creating this creating the look and then we're going to create a new a new uh type of modifier that will allow us to create something much more complex with a lot of depth to it and the input geometry for this was very simple box geometry no details and we're going to modify the the volume

processing so that allow us to get something like this and and then we'll be able to also add extra information to uh vary the color based on the noise patterns and store this in the shader so we can use it to vary the shaders per block or per um per element if we wanted that

and then we're going to learn how to create this the input geometry is also very interesting and we're going to learn how to uh or we're going to see how i did this um and then hopefully explore some new ideas in there as well i do think there is color variation on this one but the setup i'm going to
