Houdini - Procedural Trestle Bridge Generator

Have you ever wanted to draw bridges?

This is a personal project I did over the weekend to create a fully procedural trestle bridge in Houdini. You can provide custom curves, terrains, and models for all pieces.

The end goal was to build an easy to use tool for artists to create different procedural bridges over the terrain based on curves they provide.

I have based it on Javier Toledo Viscasillas' Procedural Modelling with VEX course and a few youtube tutorials on procedural tools.
