Building Tunnels in Height Fields in Houdini

Houdini’s Height Fields provides a simple and fast way of building complex landscape geometry, but what if I wanted to hull out areas in the terrain to make a tunnel? Cave? Secret underground path for a game?

Thanks Bubblepins. I have found all your videos so useful in learning Houdini. Also very proud to see a female doing so well.Thanks again for sharing. You can't; imagine how much of an impact you are having,

[@bubblepins]

Thanks so much for the heart-warming comment! And I too feel the lack of female representation in VFX. It made me very happy when you said I made an impact! I never imagined myself to such a thing, I'm really happy you enjoy the video.
I'm currently in progress making a newer updated version of this video, because UE 5 came out with a lot of new features. I hope you will like my new video that will be out soon!

just discovered your channel looking up how to make caves in Houdini. I have had the free apprentience version for a year now almost and wanna get going on learning it for my gamedev workflow. I like how you explain things clearly earned a sub. :)

Hi, it's possible to import an heightmap and make tunnels and caves?

[@bubblepins]

I can't see why not. I think it depends how you are importing it. Like is it being loaded from a file cache location, or imported as Alembic or FBX, which may have some limitations. Height maps in Houdini are vdb volumes, but its also a strictly named vdbs. You can even make a vdb in Houdini and convert it to Height Map, I believe I tried this before, but I can't recall what I was trying to do.
Hope this helps!

@@bubblepins good! Maybe you can make a video where explain how to import an heightmap and how to build a cave

[@bubblepins]

@@judanetwork Sure, but that won't be in awhile because the list of requests is growing. I might do a blog article about it. Maybe I can squeeze time next month to do a blog article. What software application are you trying to import the heightmap from? Is it just houdini to houdini?
