God of War Ragnarok - Niflheim: Pipeline Artist Tools

Artist friendly ice coverage and card population setup. This was a pipeline file of various tools artists could use to cover models in ice, populate them with cards, and procedurally mask placement of elements.

Ice Paint Tool (artist friendly)

Procedural Masking Tool (artist friendly)

Frost Card Tool (artist friendly)

This is a series of tools and a Houdini pipeline setup I made for my artists as Level Lead for Niflheim.
.
In order to achieve the ice covered/card covered look of Niflheim, I created a pipeline to help my artists get coverage on their levels faster and easier.
This pipeline allows for the export of sections of levels to paint/procedurally paint sections to create ice coverage models and card coverage on those models. This allowed us to achieve the look we were going for in the level faster and at a consistent look/quality.
