In this video, we walk through the Houdini Pipeline Setup and test the Node Renamer Tool. This tool simplifies node management by renaming selected nodes in your Houdini scene. It assigns a prefix based on the node type and a numeric suffix based on the node's order. If no nodes are selected, it will automatically rename all nodes within /obj, helping to streamline your workflow and ensure consistent node naming conventions. Whether you're working on a complex project or organizing your scene, this tool will save you time and improve your pipeline efficiency.

In this video, we explore the Viewport Snapshot Tool, a useful Houdini utility for capturing and managing viewport snapshots with ease. This tool helps artists and TDs quickly save and organize snapshots, making it perfect for debugging, look development, and sharing progress. Whether you're refining a simulation, adjusting lighting, or tracking changes in your scene, this tool streamlines the process, allowing for better iteration and documentation. This is part of my Houdini TD toolset, designed to enhance productivity for artists. Let me know your thoughts or tool ideas in the comments!

This tool was created with Python and it will query current user's submitted jobs from AWS Deadline Render Farm, allowing us to track our jobs progress, status, Job ID, submitted date/time and priority.

This tool was created with Blueprints by using the Utility Widget and Niagara System. It will allow you to generate a specific super power and control it's parameters real time so you can adjust everything without having to go to Niagara. It will create the super power as an Actor Component so after you are happy with the visual results you can use the Actor Component Blueprints to program whatever you need and make it interact with your own assets.

In this video, I use Houdini’s particle system to simulate the process of rust removal.

This script will automatically generate a tread and attach it to a curve. You can decide to create your own curve or use an existing one. It will also create edit points so you can modify the curve and then decide the amount of treads. It also has a tab where you can auto rig wheels and create a control for them.

This script will automatically populate the selected objects along a selected curve. You can control the amount of copies, the offset on X, Y and Z axis, and the random scale range for the duplicated objects. There is also an "Undo" option and a "Finalize" button for whenever you are done. Script: https://github.com/mra1794/Curve-Populating-Script My Github profile: https://github.com/mra1794
