Houdini Tutorial: Demystifying Sevillas Parasols Waffle Structure

Support Us On Patreon: At a recent Houdini meetup, Luc Morroni came up with quite an interesting tutorial topic: Procedural waffle structures, like the ones used in Sevilla s Metropol Parasol Seems easy enough at first I thought but as always, the devil s in the details. In this case in the cutouts where the parts slot into each other. So enjoy hearing me waffle on (see what I did there ) about creating those types of structures and making them intersect realistically(ish).
