Helskate Houdini tools

Some of HDAs I created for Helskate game, also my NZGDC talk on using Houdini for games #Sidefx #Houdini #Unity #Helskate
I have to mention all of these tools will work exactly same in Unreal Engine

This is my talk on smart assets back in 2022 at NZGDC, I talked about how your game can benefit from using Houdini engine and HDAs, what I call Smart assets and why, hope you enjoy it \m/

This is the most recent Building generator tool I did, Dont forget all this can be done in UE as well

All the Assets above are done with HDAs in Unity

This is a tool that we created all the ramps in the game with \m/

As creating stairs can be a tedious job I created a tool for us

Grindable power poles in Helskate are all created with this tool

For the Barriers in the game I created this tool

This tool will create wooden panels to be used as ramps in the game

With this tool we created all the drapery and cloth pieces hanging around the environment, the Vertex colour was used by the shader to stope the cloth from wiggling in the wind

This is how I check the performance of the Tools and make sure they are fast enough to work with inside Unity
