THIS IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL TOOL THAT I'M GOING TO CRY. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS AMAZING SOFTWARE AND TOOL EXISTS. IT'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I HAVE EVER SEEN I AM LOST FOR WORDS.
Dude this is great, now I feel like I wasted a lot of time trying to create my own tree generator!, This one seems to solve a lot of the things I was not able to , time to take it for a spin and see what I can do!, Thank you for the tutorial master Simon and thanks Side Fx for the tools.
I know it's less procedural, but it would be nice to have the ability to load in a custom mesh (scanned trunk) and use it as a base. But beside that, it's an awesome tool! Thanks :)
Yes this is a feature I should have included honestly... You can totally add this yourself though. Try the 3D straight skeleton Labs node on a megascans (for example) tree trunk. Get the curve from this node and create the necessary attributes like length, radius, etc (just see what the trunk node outputs to the branch node). Should be doable, and let me know if you need any help with it!
+1 for content. +10 for recording Houdini in HD instead of full HD. Most of modern tutorials of Houdini are recorded in full HD, the problem is that the text is too small to see, and TH-cam made it worse by tinkering the quality to save bandwidth. It's a nightmare if it's a VEX-heavy tutorial.
Hello, I am following along the video and the 'Thigmotropism" parameter is greyed out for me. I am unable to enable it. However, if I plug in the tree controller, a new checkbox called "Override Tropism" appears. If I enable this then I can enable Thigmotropism in the tree_trunk_generator1.
I also am unable to enable Thigmotropism, so thanks for the comment about the controller. @Houdini, any idea why this bug might appear? I am using the non-commercial version for reference.
this is still not as realistic as speed tree, its close but still not there, it's so good when a niche tool gets made obsolete by a bigger DCC, having everything under one roof makes life so much easier, a good tree generator combined with height fields would be make H the best lanscape generator

Awesome set of nodes. Nice work by the Labs team as usual! Keep it up!
Great work side fx....
Looking forward for more.
Fantastic. Thanks Simon!
Can I add texture and shape limit to the leaf?
awesome tutorial Simon! I would love to see the technique where you blend between 2 UV sets using the vertex color inside Unreal.
2uv is quite flawed as it's generate tangent basis problems. If you want to use normal map it will be wrongly shaded
How to add custom trunk, and have houdini recognize it so it ads his own branches and leaves via the presented here generators
Can one make an untimmed palm tree in Houdini?

@@ryangold6310 Hey Ryan, can you go into more detail about this?

Its 1080p just interface size increased, and absolutely agree. When its 4k/60fps - it just perfect for 1080p screen lol.
can you do thiis in the free version?
any tutorials for highpoly? the tree have no details at all :(
So many new toys... Wow
I have updated SideFX Labs (18.5.408) but I only find "Labs Quick Basic Tree".
You need to uncheck production build when updating

This seems to be because there is an overall Thigmotropism in the controller, and you can override it in the trunk and branches if you want.
I also am unable to enable Thigmotropism, so thanks for the comment about the controller.

amazing
Not finding any kind of tree node
this is gold!Thanks
anyone know why thigmotropism is grayed out?
Is this shipped with Houdini or this is an asset somebody created for selling?
it is shipped with houdini labs
@@distortedsoulsounds ok. thx. will need to reinstall Houdini and add labs. just realized that recently
How can I setup this along with pivot painter ?
Nevermind, I did it.
@@IvanDCosta12 Hey, could you share the process?
Thank you! What about a type of tree? Are there any options to create for example Oaktree? Because a tree cannot be a random type.
? Those are the setting you dial in.
Maybe they are in presets though
@@nictanghe98 If you haven’t yet, download my set of tree tools from gumroad. It’s called “Simple Tree Tools”. I have presets in there.
How to create a realistic tree wind?
You download my ”Simple Tree Tools” from Gumroad :)
i updated the labs but i just have the basic tree. Thanks for the video tho.
not sure, but maybe untick "production builds only".

a good tree generator combined with height fields would be make H the best lanscape generator
that generator is too much slow, am I only one?
