Procedural SILO - Houdini Tutorial

Design and build a fully procedural SILO in Houdini — inspired by the series *Silo*.
We’ll create a clean, parametric HDA so you can regenerate height, floors, rings, stairs, windows, and lighting with simple sliders.

What you’ll build
• A reusable HDA “Procedural SILO” with exposed parameters (radius, height, floor count, modules per ring)
• Rings/floors generated from curves with instances for stairs/railings/lamps
• Procedural windows/doorways cut into the shell
• Clean UVs + viewport lighting for quick look-dev

Core techniques covered
• Curve-driven layout (Resample, Sweep, Revolve, Copy to Points)
• Groups, attributes, and masks for controllable variations
• Attribute VOP/Wrangle for counts, spacing, and orientation (N/up)
• Boolean modeling for openings and details
• Packed instancing for fast viewports and export-ready assets
• HDA interface design: tidy folders, ranges, presets

Who is this for?
• Houdini beginners–intermediate artists who want production-friendly procedural modeling
• Game/VFX/ArchViz artists needing parametric environments that update in seconds

Software / Level
• Houdini (recent version) • Level: Beginner–Intermediate
