Winter Landscape - Houdini

Winter landscape created using only Houdini and UE4. Some of the smaller rock assets are from Megascans.

A lot of my time at work is spent working on the terrain for our open world. I wanted to use what I've learned to start developing smaller scale landscapes for my portfolio. This is the first of many and I hope to showcase the power of Houdini, Gaea and UE4.

Capturing the coldness and barren wasteland yet making it feel 'alive' was a bit challenging. I tried to keep the terrain as procedural as possible so that I could go back at any point and update the heightmap if needed.
