SideFX Houdini Tutorial - How to use images to extrude and create abstract illustrations
In this video, I'm teaching you how to use images to extrude and create abstract illustrations in SideFX Houdini.
In this SideFX Houdini tutorial I use an image to drive a polyextrude node, by first converting bitmaps to color data and an attribute wrangle to write that color data to the extrusion distance scale. Afterwards I use another color node to apply a gradient over the entire 3D model. Using a Redshift material and a domelight + 1 single directional light source with volumetric fog - we can create a procedural setup that can generate tons of abstract 3D illustrations by just swapping out the extrusion bitmap.
