Hex Mesher [Houdini Digital Asset]
About
Hex Mesher is an HDA [Houdini Digital Asset] that creates fast hexagon patterns across a mesh. The HDA has a VDB workflow built in for quick mesh adjustment (ex: shrinking or expanding the geometry) as I've found myself using these two workflows in tandem for quite some time.
What's in the file?
The file includes an example [.hip] file with the HDA and example geo embedded if you just want to check it out quickly. The [.hda] is in a separate folder if you would like to add it to your library. You should be able to use either files with Houdini versions 16.5 or later, and even with their free apprentice version located here!
Credits
The HDA was created by me, but the latest Hex pattern generation was altered thanks to a free tutorial CGMK [CG Monkey King] created that was simpler than the old workflow I had been using. Check it out here!
Let me know on Instagram what you use it for and what you'd like to see implemented in future versions.
