BooKit: Procedural Bookshelves for Houdini

The tool will help you create bookcases of any shape and automatically place books into them.

Check out BooKit 1.0 by Nam Phuong – a Houdini add-on that allows you to make bookshelves and generate books procedurally.

The package features: 

  • Real-time & instant feedback from the generator's engine.
  • Artist-friendly controls with documented Help on each parameter.
  • Generate contents with any shape, patterns, 3D objects (with a proper guide).
  • Procedural Placement for 3D assets (with item_importer.hda).
  • Automatic Texture Assignment.

It also includes the files:

  • quickPattern.1.4.hda (open)
  • item_importer.1.11.hda (open)
  • bookitmaterial.1.1.hda (open)
  • copytoshelf.1.16_LOCK.hda (blackboxed)
  • ReadMe.txt: installation guide
  • BooKit_HIP_demo_scene: Demo Scene project file of 10 different generated shelves in the teaser using this HDA package(not including the items).

To use the add-on, you need to have some basic Houdini knowledge and Houdini version 19 or newer.

Aside from this add-on, the artist has made a procedural ivy/vines generator and a tutorial on how to match assets layout from other 3D modeling tools to Houdini.
