This is a proof of concept example I did together with a colleague in 2005 in Houdini 7.0 . To see we could use procedural content creation in our tool building pipeline.

Currently I'm creating Video lectures on how to build this system. You can find them at www.cmivfx.com

  • Very nice. What math is actually used to find the vertex points in turns? I have been looking for this a long time. Thanks!

  • @Midasist

    Basically it is using the difference between the tangent vector and the vector pointing to the next point.

  • this is really sick. the terrain aware part was pretty cool, but you're gonna need a ton of environmental obstacle factoring if you're gonna pop bridges up like that. but it shows huge potential. good luck to you man. oh, and hai from reddit.

  • Imagine if this were implemented in a future edition of Minecraft (Modern) or other games (racing games?:) where roads, dirt paths were even procedurally created on map creation :D Replay value would be amazing in any case, as a road to drive would always be different each time you played.

  • Super cool.. its like.. it can read ur mind :D

  • im very interesting of yours video in CMIFX, i boghty one of precedural road but im looking foward how to make conections between streets/roads.

    great video but the read still in one way without many road conections.

    i wait your anwer.

    thanks

  • That is amazing......

  • Really cool, I have roads in my project but no money for the tutorials and no time now. I think this is more complicated than I need anyway.

  • That is incredible!

    Really great work!

  • Hello, Liked the video. On Earth Day I won a green design contest for my home energy system the RoofMill. Have a look at my home wind turbine videos of installing and running Hybrid Energy Systems. Friends and Subscribers Wanted. Later ,

    Peace, Sam
