Padded Wall Panel

[翻译] : 我继续探索Houdini到Substance Designer的工作流程，这里有一个在Houdini中创建独特图案的演示，然后将其转化为PBR材质到Substance Designer。你还可以在我的文章末尾看到快速浏览视频。简而言之，你在Houdini中创建一个三角网格平面，设定起点和终点。接着，使用`_finshortestpath_`节点找到两点之间的最短路径，这个过程会生成一些有趣的图案。你可以使用`_meshtiler_`进行贴图，烘焙为高度图，然后导出到Substance，我们将它转换成垫墙板材质，可以用于未来太空船墙面装饰等。希望你喜欢最终结果，并享受圣诞假期！

I continue exploring Houdini to Substance Designer workflow, here is a demo of creating a unique-looking pattern in Houdini and turning it into a PBR material in Substance Designer. You can also see a quick flythrough video at the end of my post. In a nutshell, you create a triangulated plane in Houdini, and set a starting point as well as the end point. Then let the _finshortestpath_ node do the work by finding the shortest available path between both points. This process creates some interesting-looking patterns that can be tiled with _meshtiler_, baked as a height map, and exported to Substance where we turn it into a padded wall panel material, which can be used as a futuristic spaceship wall decor for example. Hope you like the final result and enjoy the xmas holidays!
