Michael1 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hello Everyone, I have a project to do on my course and I am trying to think of ideas of a tool that I could make. I have thought of a weathering tool which effects the geometry, placing dirt, peeling or chipping off paint etc to give it an old feel. Also I thought of a snow tool to give an environment a winter feel, placing snow, icicles etc - but when I proposed this idea it was already being done by another student hence me asking here. Then I thought of a shattering tool in which you could specify the type of material and point of impact and it would procedurally break up the geometry. These ideas are okay but I was hoping for some more input for some different ideas, an idea that is easily expandable would be good as it means I could add to it if progress is going well. Also I got interested in using sound and my tool to react to the sound, but as of yet I don't know how this could fit in, perhaps some kind of particle emission with the emission and shaders changing with the music - I don't know just throwing it out there. Any help would be really appreciated so please don't be shy, thanks. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 what's wrong with making a set of different small tools , instead of one big final thing. Many students make the major mistake of biting off more than they can chew ...... r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Div Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 If you are interested in houdini and sound, you'll definitely have to get Andrew Lowell's chop books :: http://www.andrew-lowell-productions.com/a.../resources.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
