I wrote some Houdini utilities using Python for both existing map-generation tools and general Houdini workflows for Nightingale. These tools are aimed at minimizing the time required to do tedious or complex tasks for the Artists and Tech-Artists working in the application. These utilities have their designated shelf in the Houdini toolbar for easy access. Some of them have additional ways to call the scripts.
I am grateful for the support from co-workers at Inflexion Games, including the Technical Art and Environment Art teams for their work and consistent feedback.
