Wanderlust - Road System Toolkit

This project utilises assets from assets packs and are not mine. Credits are below.

This is a Houdini toolkit with custom HDA's, intended to be used in Houdini and imported into Unreal Engine 5. Made for DAE Howest.

At it's core it's a series of curve generation and editing tools, that can afterwards generate road geometry and alter heightfields. There are also a few UE5 focused tools to help scatter and set-dress your roads after they are formed.

I focused on making the tool that is as flexible and versatile as possible in all situations. (With succes! I have used parts of the toolkit in a few personal projects already)

As a result I ended up with 14 HDA's that work fluently with each other.
