Free Houdini 19.5 HDA: Unreal Starter Kit of 13 Procedural Game Art Tools (Simon Verstraete)
Original title: Unreal Starter Kit
Overview
Simon Verstraete made the Houdini Engine for Unreal Starter Kit, shared on the SideFX Content Library and updated for UE5, as a set of procedural game art tools for use inside the Unreal editor. The download, GameJamStarterKit-UnrealEngine5.zip (1.3 MB), holds 13 HDAs such as HE_Rock, HE_Tree, HE_Foliage_maker, HE_Terrain_Tool, HE_walls_tool, HE_pipe, HE_Level_gen_WFC and Road_tool_2D, plus resources: an example PSD and models for the PSD level tool, trim layouts and a WFC tile set of FBX pieces.
The included Read_me (SideFX Game Jam Toolkit V1.1) says to drag the .hda files into the otls folder of Houdini 19.5 or newer, while the page lists the kit as created in Houdini 18.5, and the tools run in Unreal through the Houdini Engine plug-in. It is a free direct download under the SideFX Standard License.
