Houdini and Unreal offer powerful tools for creating detailed landscapes. In these lessons, you will take a closer look at the landscape material used in Project Pegasus and dive into its technical aspects.

Introduction [0:47]
Before starting the lessons, learn about some challenges of building a complex landscape material and how these challenges were overcome in Project Pegasus.
1 | IDMap Authoring [25:47]
In the first lesson, begin by learning how to build an IDMap in Houdini, using the Heightfield tools.
2 | Reading the ID Map in Unreal [19:16]
Build the landscape material in Unreal and importing the IDMap created in Houdini.
3 | Bilinear Blending [22:33]
Build upon the previous lessons and learn how to use the IDMap to layer different textures and sample the IDMap to blend the textures together smoothly.
4 | IDMap Digital Asset [24:16]
With the Houdini and Unreal workflow established, revisit the Houdini network and learn how you can create an IDMap Digital Asset to make a tool that will allow you to more efficiently create IDMaps for your projects.
5 | Tint Tables [24:59]
Learn how to use Curve Atlas Tables to tint and adjust each of the landscape layers to add additional detail.
6 | Functions [13:17]
For the final lesson, learn how you can continue to develop the Unreal material explaining how you can use the power of functions.

      I wish we had the project files. I can't see the files in Unreal although the sync is in place...

        Amazing !
        I tried to implement texture bombing in the material , yet i couldn't ( probably due to my lack of knowledge tbh ) . any idea about how how i could do it?
