Maps generation for Fur

Recommended Posts

Hi all Houdini experts,

I am new to Houdini and recently I faced an issue related to Houdini Fur Maps unlike Maya Houdini didn't generate Fur Maps automatically and It is difficult to tweak them in another application such as Photoshop.

Could anyone of you share the insight or work around where not only I can generate all the Fur Maps for direction, clumps etc but tweak them in another application and then reapply them in Houdini.

I apologize if my query sounds stupid.

Regards

Mohit

One way of doing it is to use COPS inside Houdini to draw your maps with rotoshapes, you can draw the maps over the UV image that you can generate in Houdini, you will need to get used to the controls inside COPS but the good thing is that you can see the update very quickly and have all your maps there.

Depending on the look you are trying to achieve will need to paint the attributes inside SOP's in conjunction with your maps, I know that is a lot to keep track but at the same time you have a lot of control, it works well for me at least.

I hope that helps, good luck!
