Howto Use Matrix Houdini Building Generation

[unit23]

0. Place the folder HoudiniEngine inside your project /Plugins/ThirdParty folder. Add and enable the Plugin inside your uproject file (the main project file).

{
“Name”: “HoudiniEngine”,
“Enabled”: true
},

0. Copy the corresponding /Content folders from the City Sample into your project:

• /Building
• /Map/Environment

1. Open a project with buildings for the UE5 “City Sample” (Matrix) project, i.e.

• City Sample Buildings in Environments - UE Marketplace
• City Sample in UE Feature Samples - UE Marketplace

2. Open a map which contains Houdini Buildings, i.e.

• /Building/NY/Kit_Bldg_NYA
• /Map/Small_City_LVL

3. Select a Houdini Building Asset, i.e.

• City_Building_Generator

4. In the “Instance Window” select all Building Instance Mesh Components → Right click & Copy
   

   

5. In a second UE5 project place the City_Building_Generator (Houdini), select the HoudiniAssetComponent → Past the copied mesh instances.

When I copied those folders

• /Building
• /Map/Environment
  The buildings are black and white? How did you successfully copy those to another project??

Those are not visible in Unreal Editor (use the Windows Editor).

Select the Unreal Migrate feature (often selects not required files), look closely and check which folders may include the missing files.

Where to get City_Building_Generator, where this file is located, it’s not clear at all…
