Generate neon sign with text / spline / image input directly in editor.
This highly optimized Houdini tool offers seamless neon sign generation directly in the editor, supporting three distinct inputs: text, splines, and images.
The sign automatically scales and adjusts to fit user-defined bounding boxes, offering a powerful and flexible solution for any layout. Designs can be further customized with a range of parameters, including character spacing, oblique angle, character wiggle, and the neon tube’s flickering amount. Control is also provided over the backing plate’s appearance to finalize the sign’s look.
The tool utilizes multiple UV channels to pass random seed, allowing to easily switch between per-text, per-character, or per-stroke customization and randomization.
