✨ EPC2026 Speaker Announcement ✨ We are thrilled to announce that Roy Kristoffersen and Max Rose will join us as a speaker at the Everything Procedural Conference 2026! In this talk, Roy and Max will walk you through the complete process of modeling, texturing, and rigging a dragon from scratch in SideFX Software Houdini. It will show how you can use the KineFX tools in Houdini powered by APEX which provides all of the rigging components as well as an animation context for fast rig evaluation. The session offers practical insight into how Houdini's powerful procedural approach can be leveraged for character creation, using the dragon as a hands-on, end-to-end example. On Thursday and Friday there will be a Masterclass on the same subject. 👉 Dragons Breath by: Roy Kristoffersen and Max Rose #EverythingProcedural #EPC2026 #ProcGen #ProceduralGeneration #Proceduralism #GameDev #GameDevConference #IndieDev #Houdini #TechArt #GameDesign #GameArt #GameProgramming #Animation #KineFest #APEX #KineFX

✨EPC2026 Speaker Announcement✨ We are thrilled to announce that @damjanmx will join us as a speaker at the Everything Procedural Conference 2026! Think COPs are just for texture synthesis? Think again. In this rapid-fire 30-minute investigation, we’re playing around with SideFX Software Houdini’s revamped Copernicus context to see how versatile it is. We’ll blast through a "Good COP" lineup of practical examples, ranging from material creation, texture variation, and trim sheets to the more unusual suspects like live video, real-time VFX, and animated illustrations. Along the way, we’ll dive into some technical details while providing a brutally honest "Bad COP" verdict: separating the production-ready workflows from the experimental features still on probation. 🚀 Don’t miss out and get your tickets now via the link in bio #EverythingProcedural #EPC2026 #ProcGen #ProceduralGeneration #Proceduralism #GameDev #GameDevConference #IndieDev #Houdini #TechArt #GameDesign #GameArt #GameProgramming

🎓 EPC2026 Speaker Announcement 🎓 We are thrilled to announce that Erik Östsjö from Embark Studios will join us as a speaker at the Everything Procedural Conference 2026! In this session, Erik guides you through Embark Studios character pipeline. He discusses leveraging SideFX Software Houdini and USD as the core of their workflows. Learn how it allows them the flexibility of having technical and art focused team members to work in the same shared space. Erik explores having a procedural mentality, showing concrete examples of working within a range from manual to automated. One focus is how the team used USD in combination with Houdini's PDG and Solaris contexts in order to maximize artistic freedom while minimizing repetitive work. This enabled Embark to support their games Arc Raiders and The Finals, each with varying needs, while continuously exploring new solutions in live production. 🚀 Don’t miss out and get your tickets via link in bio #EverythingProcedural #EPC2026 #ProcGen #ProceduralGeneration #Proceduralism #GameDev #GameDevConference #IndieDev #Houdini #TechArt #GameDesign #GameArt ##EverythingProcedural #EPC2026 #ProcGen #ProceduralGeneration #Proceduralism #GameDev #GameDevConference #IndieDev #Houdini #TechArt #GameDesign #GameArt #gameprogrammingGameProgramming
