The “Foundation” module is available for free on the E-Houdini Academy YouTube page. It covers how to create a simple procedural office building tool.

Module 2 focuses on the elevator and staircase asset, then assembles them using prefab instances in the Unreal engine.

Module 3 focuses on the start of the main building assignment. We create an editor toolset to create complex multi-story high-rise buildings. It is followed by the creation of a Tile-set builder and Tile instancing toolset to dress up the exterior façade.

Module 4 further expands upon the main building assignment by creating a toolset to define its interior layout of corridors and rooms. We also install the elevator and staircase assets created earlier in the course to allow the player to fully traverse the interior of the structure. Finally, we work on a catwalk building toolset to help us build customizable interior Atrium style spaces that can be installed into the main building toolset as well.

In Module 5, we start on a toolset to procedurally define and place sets of props and decorations in the atrium space. We do this using a manual Prop Placement tool. This module focuses heavily on Python scripts to enable customized user interfaces (Python Viewer States).

Module 6 further expands upon the prop placement toolset by developing a fully procedural editor, allowing a user to define prop placement presets for room layouts such as hotel rooms. It can then be loaded into a 3D space to automatically populate this space with objects and furniture. We then take this Procedural Prop Placement toolset and install it into the Atrium and main building assignment to allow it to procedurally decorate the entire structure.
