- Houdini artists building creature surfaces
- Worth noticing
- Its four paint channels separately control density, height, protection, and scale presence.
Field notes
The setup begins with connecting a mesh to the HDA's first input; the page says UVs are not required for generating or painting scales. Users can set a size range, paint density, and draw guides, then use an update action to apply changes. Export is described as OBJ or BGEO.SC, with projection or baking left to the destination application.
