Exists: Fully Automated World Generation
Tools: Houdini (PDG/HDA/VEX/Python) | Unreal Engine 5 (PCG)
The Vision: Bridging the gap between 2D artistic intent and complex 3D world-building via algorithmic logic.
Main Achievement: Engineered a 100% procedural system that interprets user-drawn sketches to generate high-fidelity environments in real-time.
Technical Depth: Developed custom Houdini HDAs for terrain and city layouts, integrated with a deterministic, universal PCG graph.
Impact: A complete architectural framework and force multiplier, enabling a single artist to generate vast, cohesive worlds from simple strokes.
