Free Houdini HDA: Instancing Setup from the DomLib Toolset (Dominik Lange)
Original title: Houdini instancing made easy? - FREE Houdini Digital Asset
Overview
Dominik Lange showcases his free Instancing Setup node, an HDA that makes assigning a large number of instances to points easier, and links it in his DomLib collection on GitHub. The video covers installation, prepping the instance geometry, setting up the instancing, distribution settings and using a custom attribute.
DomLib installs as a Houdini package through DomLib.json and also holds his other free tools, such as After Effects export, Camera Shakify, a folder structure generator and a MOI3D CAD importer, as .hda and .hdalc files. The video and README state that the tools are currently for Houdini Indie and Apprentice users, and the repository is a free direct download under the GPL-3.0 licence.
