Houdini Tool

Created full environment in Houdini including terrain, stone steps, and snowfall using procedural workflows.
Drew custom guide curves to define tree lines and stair alignment, driving distribution patterns.
Used scatter-based instancing to place trees procedurally with varied scale and rotation for natural feel.
Applied Boolean operations selectively on terrain and structural elements to reduce mesh complexity.
Combined instancing and geometry operations to optimize scene performance and memory usage.
Integrated custom materials across surfaces; managed shader assignments per object type.
Designed and positioned lighting to enhance depth, focal hierarchy, and mood in the snowy setting.

Created 5 modular sci-fi structures (e.g., turrets, radars, bases) for surface detailing.
Used scatter-based instancing to distribute assets procedurally across the Death Star geometry.
Excluded placement along the equator trench and superlaser hemisphere using masks.
Aligned assets to surface normals with randomized rotation and scale.
Exposed controls to adjust asset count and distribution density.
