superb work here. love it

Thank you ! i'm working on the detail part of the HDA right now , extrusions, smoothing, inset, uv's different scale types etc..

Here's another render ( without uv's / different scale types, just think the lighting is pretty cool :p )

Are you planning to include methods for creating different-sized scales like these chameleon scales?

Aha, a post showed up ! haha I got like 7 emails or something!

Sure yeah, there's already controls for size/density, but I think the variation like in your reference images would be more suited for the randomization tab,like a slider to control random size as a multiplier on the scale size.

alriiight, I reworked the density and size part of the HDA, I am veeeery happy with my progress today. I made an opencl version of the relax sop and that provides the speed, I have a working setup that allows you to directly control the size of the scales, and then it relaxes everything, much more intuitive than what it was. With that new setup, random sizes come for free ! woohoo

Hi Bennell, thank you ! I appreciate that very much. Currently working on the size and density part, bit of puzzle, chicken or the egg, density<->size :pp

More soon !

Heloo!

I've been working on fluid controls for the guide curves:
Click drag to draw
Click shift drag to delete
drag+ctrl to Insert + mousewheel to choose insertion length.

Check out the demo :

Is there a way to export the scales as displacement or bump maps?

Hi Bennel, this crossed my mind, it's very low on the to do list though. First things first, working towards a first version to release. You can always use the existing baking tools inside Houdini of course

Just out of curiosity, have you heard of or seen the Apple tv show Prehistoric Planet?
