Flower Generator - Houdini Scene File
Modelling CG Flowers can be tedious and expensive in artists' time.
Flower Generator is a procedural solution to this problem, allowing artists to create multiple variations of flowers simply using a few sliders, saving time and allowing easy iteration.
Shaping of the flower is based on Phyllotaxis, the mathematically described arrangement of petals, found in many repeating plant structures.
Flower Generator is built in VEX using custom deformers, all of which is exposed and open for editing for power users.
Flower Generator allows an artist shape an open bloomed flower and closed bulb shape and animate the transition, mimicking a time-lapse of a flower unfurling.
I hope yourself/team find this useful and please don't hesitate to reach out if you are in need of any additional functionality!
