Node network of this example

Quick Houdini tip:

HeightField Terrace = instant stepped terrain.

Play with step size + smoothing to get plateaus or sharp cliffs.

A simple way to get the copies to face the curve direction.

cool sample from wikipedia and many more: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voronoi...

Set up a simple Voronoi fracture in Houdini:

Start with a grid or any model, scatter few points, the Voronoi node splits the grid into natural cell-like patterns.

This method can be used to mimic cracks in mud or even the patterns on a giraffe’s skin 🦒

Cool Houdini trick to scatter objects in patches: "attribute from pieces"

There's something beautiful in patterns coming from heightfields....

NodeNugget #5 - PolyFrame Tangent N

Need your objects to follow a curve?
PolyFrame is the trick.

Use it to generate tangent (N) along a curve
Perfect for procedural rails, fences, or domino setups

Curve → Resample → PolyFrame (tangent=N) → Copytopoints.
