Well technically the challenge is over as far as judging goes (we'll be announcing the winners shortly). But you're more than welcome to try and complete something following the rules anyway. It's quite a nice one to learn procedural modeling with.

Hi

I have fixed a little bug in comp1 and UVunwrap... , and here is a small update

I created the card back pattern from a set of L-system SOP. I used all these surfaces

in compositing network (comp1) to create texture.

To save the texture to disk render comp1 node FIRST and then mantra1.

Thats looking like the original.. can't wait to see the final product as well...

Do you mean that you created texture in Houdini ? How do we do that?

[eetu 531]

Ohh, procedural cards - what a cool idea and great execution!

eetu.

[dbukovec 22]

This is most awesome!

[rdg 16]

[maharzan 0]

[Marc 280]

Hi

Thank you all for the reviews.

Little update...

I have build the bridge and a set of card textures (all procedual).

actually, can you also post the texture files...??

The card texture set is created in geo_Texture obj and composited in img/comp1.

To save the texture to disk click to render img/comp1/rop_comp or out/comp1 (red) nodes FIRST and then mantra1.

Output texture range is to $Temp directory. 1-36 card set textures, 37-40 Aces, 41 is card back side.

The bridge is created from a set of 3 Linie Sops. To test another version

of bridge, connect Bridge/edit2/test and Bridge/xform6/test as described (red color).

Linies, resamples, carve_PYLON_HIGHT, fillet_ARCH, xform_SIZE SOPs - are controls (color coded).

Perhaps if you guys read the actual challenge you might get the answer:

Your quest:

To recreate one of the three complex structures similar to the ones seen here : http://www.adobecards.com/ , out of cards.
