First unveiled at the groundbreaking Houdini 21 keynote by SideFX at SIGGRAPH 2025, this exclusive breakdown takes you behind the scenes of a massive, cinematic environment build.
In this step-by-step tutorial, we'll dissect an epic, procedurally generated landscape from the ground up. Starting with Houdini's powerful Labs Biome tools, we'll walk through creating diverse biomes driven by real-world physics – think dynamic terrain shaping, intelligent asset population based on environmental factors like soil, altitude, and rainfall, and seamless integration for Unreal Engine pipelines.
