🌱 Production-Proven Procedural Plant Generator.

This project showcases the development of a procedurally generated plant generator, entirely created using Houdini. The goal was to design a system that allows for the automatic creation of plants, where parts of the plant can be layered and modified endlessly, providing flexibility and animatability.

 🔧 Key technical elements:

  • ⚙️ Procedural Modeling: The geometry of the plants was procedurally generated, enabling quick and flexible adjustments to the design.

  • 🧩 Layering: The interactions between different layers and their effects on the simulation were modeled procedurally, ensuring precise and controlled results.

  • 🌀 Animation: The growth and movement of the plants were achieved through a parameterized animation system, allowing fine-tuning of timing and style for the movements.

  • 🔗 Seamless Geometry Connection:
    All geometry parts (stem, branches, leaves) connect seamlessly without visible gaps, allowing extremely detailed close-ups and macro shots without any artifacts.

  • 🏆 Production Use:
    This plant generator has been utilized in multiple professional productions, including luxury brand commercials and television identities. Notably, it was part of the visual development for a Shiseido commercial, among other high-end projects, proving its efficiency and production-grade reliability.
