Graduation project:

 

My graduation project is about creating procedural planets, which can be injected in multiple game engines.

This in contrast to most procedural planet generators, which need specific engines to work. It features a system to generate multiple levels of detail which blend into each other.

Automatic UV-mapping + Texturing Tool:

After my graduation I started working on an automatic UV-mapping and Texturing tool. It creates UVs for low-poly objects and automatically overlaps them and lays them out. Additionally it is also able to create some base textures to speed up the texturing process.

 

The manual for the tool:

Available on Orbolt

World generation using the Houdini Engine Unity Plugin:

 

Houdini file parser for Unity:

 

This is a polished version of the importer I created for my graduation project, used to import transform data from Houdini into Unity.

 

The Manual for the package:

Houdini 12 PointImporter for Unity

Available on the Unity Asset Store.

Houdini Example Files

 

Alpha and prototype videos:

A bridge procedurally created and animated in Houdini. On the right the bridge is placed into a world by taking the start and endpoints.

A procedurally generated car, modified by moving some sliders. On the right is a mountain/mesa generator prototype.

A random shield model + texture generator. the icons on the shields were taken from various websites.

Sip World Generation

A screenshot of the level generator built for the game SIP.

The game was built in 48 hours, with 6 people

during a global game jam. This demonstrates that procedural generation can also work in small projects.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CityHall

A building plan was converted into geometry procedurally and put inside Unity3d:

Autocad files were imported into Houdini and used to generate the walls and Uvs.

Some possible outputs of my temple generation tool:

Greek Temple4 Greek Temple5 Greek Temple6

Greek Temple7

The temples placed in a world, temples, rocks and trees are placed procedurally, depending on the terrain.
