Plant modeling in Houdini! Thanks to SideFX Software and Epic Games for this wonderful opportunity to present our work on the Natsura tools earlier this year in Seattle.
Natsura is a deep rethink of how we approach modeling plants. Feike Postmes and I have been building this tool full time for the last year, but it is based on six years of R&D into foliage pipelines and tools. Prior to Natsura, we have built not one, not two, but three entire foliage production pipelines already for clients including Applied Intuition and SideFX.
In this talk, I give some background context on the journey to building Natsura, and then dive into some tutorial-like examples, showing off a prototype of the tools from earlier this year.
Since this video was recorded, we've been hard at work refining and expanding the tools. In particular, we're paying extremely close attention to future meshing workflows, getting advice from companies and individuals who are pushing the boundaries of real-time graphics quality, like RealBiomes.com. We're ensuring that our solution is highly optimized for extremely dense geometry and reducing time spent on round-trips between software.
We'll be sharing more of our progress soon at SIGGRAPH Asia, online and in our private Discord channel. If you would like to test the tools, we are looking for partner studios, content creators, and artists willing to go on a vegetation adventure with us.

For years I've been obsessed with Virtual Plants, and that has led into this toolket that I've been developing called Natura, for Houdini. We're trying to completely revolutionise the workflow of 3d artists when it comes to plant modelling, and this is the start of our journey towards a release in the near future!
