Procedural Modeling — Complex Scene

A Houdini procedural modeling project focused on generating a complex warehouse-style environment through modular node networks, randomized assets,
and repeatable scene construction.

  • Procedural warehouse scene generation in Houdini
  • Node-based systems for conveyors, shelves, pallets, boxes, and lights
  • Texture randomization and paint/copy-stamp placement workflow

Final Result

A generated procedural warehouse scene created with Houdini node networks.

Key Techniques

1. Texture Randomization

I used about 25 wrapping paper textures randomly assigned to each present box.

2. Paint Node and Copy Stamp Node

To spread objects in specific locations with different shapes, heights, and rotations, I used the Paint node and Copy Stamp node.
