Procedural Rocks

Tools: Houdini, Substance Designer, Photoshop, VEX

I built this rock generator in Houdini. It builds varied, geologically plausible rock formations and places texture and detail automatically. Change a few parameters and you get a new rock without starting over.

It’s fully procedural, built with Houdini and VEX. For modular asset placement along splines, see my Modular Procedural Pipes tool.
