u kan download it on the apple site for free!!

[ablogonzo]

you could also download it from sidefx for free, the version which costs 100$ is for personal use only, without watermarks and with some better render resolution as the free version

How much is Houdini???

[darkpivotpro]

$100

[Remoth000]

You can get a free version that is restricted quite a bit with a watermark, then a $100 verson that is less restricted with no watermark, then there is a $2000 version that is just the basics of houdini, but you can use it for anything you want. then there is an $8000 version that is totally unrestricted and has everything.

Cool, can you show us how to make clouds and a blue sky? (on top of that forest, and render it to see how it looks like).

Is it possible to create a asset, and use it in this layout (like the trees), but instead of randomizing only the position, be able to randomize the parameters of the asset?

i thought something like creating a asset for a building, with customizable height, floors, number of windows, and replicate those buildings but with diferent attributes.

make your clouds out of planes with alpha channels (works well with layers)

for the city, model four or five different buildings and apply them to different grids, put the grids on top of each other and randomize it untill they dont overlap
