Environment work, exploring shaders and instancing in Houdini for 3D Modeling
We've been looking at environments, grass, and vines, and now we're moving into shading theory. Why shading theory? Modeling and shading theory go hand-in-hand. At some companies, you may be doing the whole thing yourself (design, modeling, animation, etc.) so it's a good idea to expand your horizons and learn something new! We're looking at mud and stone material.
