Free Houdini HDA: zenv Procedural Environment Modeling Tools with Example Scenes (CorvaeOboro)
Original title: zenv: houdini hda tools focused on procedural modeling environments
Overview
CorvaeOboro shares zenv on GitHub as a work-in-progress set of Houdini HDA tools focused on procedural modeling of environments. The hda folder holds about 130 tools in categories such as create (brick, rock, stairway and pillar generators), plants, path, layout, UV, texture, VFX and material, and the hip folder has about 115 example scenes for the tools plus the 00_ALL_HDA.hip scene.
Installation copies zenv.json into the Houdini packages folder, and the README recommends installing SideFX Labs, qLib, MLOPs, Aelib, nLib and mifthtools alongside it. The repository is a free direct download from GitHub and is released under CC0, free to redistribute with no attribution required.
What You Can Learn
- Open the example scenes in the hip folder to see how each environment tool is set up
