this controls the default size on generator COP nodes (can be overridden on a per-node basis e.g.Edit > Compositing Settings or Alt+Shift+I.in material (/mat/principledshader1, Displacement tab).Geometry tab, Level Of Detail = 4 (under Tessellation).

Display Options (press D with mouse over viewport).Render tab, Display As: Subdivision Surface / curves.

Bump/normals is better than nothing, but quite inaccurate. POM (parallax occlusion mapping) would probably be more practical if displacement is too slow, but no such shader is included with Houdini unfortunately (correct me if/when I'm wrong). Recommended to work using displacement as the height map preview. Three main ways to display the height: displacement, POM (parallax occlusion mapping), bump/normals if displacement is set up correctly results are fairly representative.Scene View lighting modes (metallic unsupported in High Quality Lighting).the Frame Scope tab in COP nodes can generally be ignored (it's meant for compositing work: "which frames on the timeline should this node affect?"").the last input pin on each COP node is the mask input, which allows you to control to which part of the image should the effect be applied, using a mask texture.

To show how to use Houdini COPs to create procedural textures (PBR, 2D). Heightmap is usually a good place to start. Then just delete the example nodes in /img/comp1 (outside the frame) and start building your network. getting startedĭownload the contents of this repository, open the example scene, set up your panels (Scene View, Composite View, Parameters, Network View), check the included images & instructions below to see that everything looks correct. Suggestions & fixes welcome as: github issues, email: or twitter (at or DM): There will be more images and example files. This guide is a work in progress, star or check back every now and then. Tips for Houdini procedural texturing workflow in COPs, inspired by Substance Designer.
