Abstract

This research focuses on the procedural modeling technology of the Houdini engine, deeply analyzing its core mechanisms, application scenarios, as well as the challenges it faces and corresponding strategies. By explaining the principles and advantages of this technology, and combining with practical cases in fields such as game development, film and television production, virtual reality, and augmented reality, it reveals its significant value in improving modeling efficiency and achieving creative diversification. The research shows that the procedural modeling technology of the Houdini engine plays a crucial role in current digital content creation. Moreover, the proposed strategies for existing problems lay a solid foundation for its wider application in the future.
