Houdini Modeling II

Welp, I finished that guy. I discovered a bunch of options and little tricks that helped make the rest of this go so much quicker. Very exciting to know that I can model a full character in Houdini now.

Houdini Modeling

This is what I do when work gets slow...experiment/learn.

I decided to take a break from rigging and tackle organic modeling in Houdini... it's not nearly as bad as I was expecting, but I am still much quicker in other packages.

Here is a hippo (Hippopotamus amphibius):

Golden-Maned Ostrungul

Slow Sunday = creature designs.


 This is the Golden-Maned Ostrungul (Ostrungula aurocapillis). This is a male showing off his crest, which floods with blood during the rutting season; giving it it's pinkish hue. These animals are about 9 ft tall at the shoulder, and use their claw-like hooves to dig up invertebrates, mollusks, and crustaceans hiding in the riverbeds.
