Bring the power of Gaea's simulations and surfaces to your Houdini terrains. Gaea2Houdini provides deep integration between the two software, essentially allowing Houdini to run Gaea as a backend to provide Gaea processes in Houdini heightfields. The best of both worlds!

We've taken the original Gaea TOR Processor SOP and upgraded it to be even more flexible, efficient, and powerful! You can create a single node, a sequence of nodes, or a complex network run through various chained variables and constructs, and have it available directly in Gaea as a single SOP! Every variable you create in Gaea and bind to a property becomes accessible in the Houdini interface.

Gaea and Houdini understand each other deeply, letting you maintain accurate data throughout the workflow. In addition to heightfields, we are pleased to announce that Gaea 2.0 now supports color maps in Gaea2Houdini - allowing you to take advantage of Gaea's new ColorErosion and extensive colorization capabilities.

Gaea2Houdini ships with SideFX Labs.

We've open-sourced the Gaea2Houdini plugin so that you can adapt it to custom workflows and include it in any sophisticated pipeline.

Source code for the plugin can be found on the GitHub Repository.
