Houdini Engine Indie lets you load Houdini Digital Assets into the Unity Game Editor. These digital assets can be created in Houdini Indie or downloaded from the Unity Store then loaded into the Unity editor with the ability to adjust the results using procedural controls built into each asset.

 

Houdini Engine Indie is for artists who don’t already have Houdini Indie on their computer. If you want to create your own digital assets then Houdini Indie will let you create assets and run the Houdini Engine. If you only need to run assets inside of Unity, without creating them yourself, then Houdini Engine Indie provides everything you need.

 

Houdini Engine Indie includes a draw curve tool for creating custom inputs for your Houdini Assets and a powerful instancing scheme which lets you lay out game assets.

 

INCLUDED ASSETS:

 

Houdini Engine Indie comes with several production-ready assets you can use right away to learn how procedural assets can be used to enhance your games. These include:

 

* Curve Decorator | This asset lets you set up a curve then instance objects along its path. You can add multiple instance objects for random distribution and you can control the distance between objects, orientation and other key properties.

 

* Mesh Decorator | This asset lets you instance objects onto a mesh. You can add multiple instance objects for random distribution and you can control the distance between objects, orientation and other key properties.

 

* EverGreen | A simple prop asset, EverGreen lets you determine the size and shape of a simple evergreen tree. A great prop for testing out the curve and mesh decorators.

 

* Starship Doors | This asset is a workable starship door. Control its size and shape using various asset controls. The doors are already set up to open and close as a character approaches during gameplay.

 

* Limited Commercial License | Houdini Engine Indie is available under a limited commercial license. Houdini Engine Indie can be used if the annual gross revenue of your game studios and contracting studios does not exceed $100K USD. Houdini Engine Indie cannot be used in the same pipeline as commercial versions of Houdini and you can only have three Houdini Engine Indie’s per studio.

 

Houdini Indie is available on Windows and OSX and requires Unity 4.6 or higher.
