Started implementing the #SNOT method for #lego building. It offers 6 instead of 4 degrees of freedom which is pretty neat.

Bought an #Insta360 x5 camera for #photogrammetry / #gaussiansplatting. Great fun but Insta360 Studio could really use a #linux build ! Anyway, now quite far in a pipeline with #SAM3 with equirectangular mask support for photogrammetry.

It's a wrap for phase 1,2,3. Now onward with phase 4 with point-cloud segmentation and according brick pieces placement #lego #procedural #houdini www.youtube.com/watch?v=7v_g...

What's the most Danish way to solve the Greenland conflict? Indeed, Lego ! This way everybody can own their own Greenland to play with. #procedural #greenland #macron #vonderleyen #vistisen #carney #trump #frostadóttir #lego #denmark #france #usa #eu #iceland #canada

Brick placement respects color boundaries pretty OK #LEGO #lego #houdini #procedural
030
Paleo Pixels @paleopixels.bsky.social · 02/01/2026
Couldn't help it....added a point color threshold, basically meaning if a brick (which has a constant color value) crosses a color threshold in the source point cloud, it won't place that brick.

Alright, time to make some renders and animations to show various substeps of this procedural #lego toolset in #houdini

Spending time again with my #procedural #LEGO project, we're getting near the finish line. Some issues to fix, some dressup and depth-of-field renders todo.

Added flags. Next up is adding cliffs sides/vertical offsets, fixing the various colors and animating the controls to show the proceduralism. #lego #houdini #procedural

Didn't work for too long, couldn't figure out why but now I do. And of course it was very simple. Anyway, basics are done, moving forward with supporting more advanced shapes. #lego #houdini

Happy #PortfolioDay ! I'm Bjorn from The Netherlands, I like to create worlds as a #technicalartist / #procedural artist, specializing in pipelines and tools with #houdini , #python and all kinds of engines. Currently still at Turn 10 Studios but on the lookout for something new in 2026!

Rendered out 300k+ bricks as a test ....technically neat that it's possible but in my opinion it's not as capturing as the <10k (bricks) render

Getting started with generating the build manual. Step 1: which bricks do you need :) #lego #houdini

Paleo Pixels @paleopixels.bsky.social · 25/07/2025
Loaded up an old walkcycle, fixed some issues, added eyes. +/- 3150 pieces. Next up is to bake out the entire walk cycle and start thinking on how to convert this into a build manual #houdini #lego #dinosaur #puertasaurus #3d #walkcycle #bricks

Working on #procedural #Lego in #houdini. The idea is to be able to convert any mesh to lego with any given brickset. Works with heightfields and I'm just starting to look into supporting 3D shapes.

[1/2] What a week. I was so happy that I finally got to work on a AAA racing game. As a huge motorsports fan it really was a dream come through to work at Turn 10. So many passionate and talented people lost their jobs yesterday in a huge Microsoft layoff round. The teams build just ...gone.

Looking at my old mapping project again, trying to get it to render big countries without having to wait for days. Think it's now down to 3 hours for a set of these 12k images of #India #geospatial #mapping #map #world #cartography #thickness #heightmap #DEM

From my old Twitter: Another game credit in 2024 after Star Wars Outlaws : Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered! It had a full #PDG #Houdini setup to upres mostly the 100s of rock assets in game. This way multiple iterations on silhouette, shape, polycounts etc. could be achieved #HorizonZeroDawn #remaster
