PDG 101 - Pt.8: Command Line Programs & Texture Synthesis
Added 2021-02-18 09:22:31 +0000 UTCIn this two-in-one episode Chris shows you how to control external programs with tops while creating custom aerial photography for your Houdini heightfields using the amazing texture synthesis tool by Embark Studios. Weird? Maybe. Fun? Definitely!

Awesome introduction! I was first struggling to use it externally, but this cleared a lot on how to integrate it into Houdini, thanks a lot!

2021-03-11 07:43:19 +0000 UTCThanks so much! ML is definitely on the list, but I still have quite a bit of learning to do on that topic! Your vellum example is interesting though! Especially since it's not the usual image related example. So it's about having a base mesh and predicting it's simulated state after x amount of frames?

2021-02-18 16:58:47 +0000 UTCFantastic work and really well presented! Are you going to look into machine learning, as well? Eg. predicting certain vellum results based on comparing a bunch of before-after meshes?
