A RESEARCH BASED DATA-DRIVEN DESIGN STUDIO Based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands We design with data and like to build and generative design. Roy & tim oernesen Rogier van Ostaljen Max Lahr Deviated from Boompje Studio Founded in 2018 Fulltime TouchDesigners
Someone on stage next to a big screen saying “TOUCHDESIGNER”
Next, a talk from a digital design studio, showing some different tooling like Touchdesigner.
A rig on a dragon in Houdini wit some nodes and a hierarchy visible
The dragon shooting flame in Houdini
A character made with many, many nodes
Next talk is from some Houdini folks, showing a fully procedural rig and many other things that I only half understand because Houdini is a magic box that makes cool things appear if you know the right incantations.
I understand the shown workflows, but have no idea which 200 nodes generate this.
The title slide and the speaker on stage
Powerwashing simulator, and 11-11
Next, @alexanderbirke.bsky.social, who has worked on a few very well known games!
A slide showing many green points in a 3D scene
The next talk is by Tim from Vertigo Games, about VR games and PCG in Unreal. It’s moving a bit too fast for me to live post it, but I appreciate this slide of generated as well as manually placed camera visibility points for automatic triangle culling.
(Memories of visgroup calculation in Hammer)
Erik, on stage pointing at the title slide
First talk: Erik, from Embark, talking about procedural character pipelines for ARC Raiders and The Finals.
A big stage in what looks like an old monastery, with a big red lit organ in the back
I am at the Everything Procedural Conference in Breda for the next 2 days!
It’s held in a beautiful space, an old monastery.
There’s a giant red lit organ in the back as well, so I hope it’s used for one of the talks. Do you think it accepts midi?
Tom and I on stage at this years @everythingproc.bsky.social in Breda. We talked about his FPS game and the proc-gen techniques we used. Great time, great crowd, great conversations all round.

Coming out of the long weekend with a tasty serving of procedural generation at @everythingproc.bsky.social
Excited to be repping @apparance.bsky.social 🙌

Look mum we're on the big screen. First day of the conference about to start. #EverythingProcedural
Spending a lot of this long weekend on trains. Fortunately, for a good cause, on the way to @everythingproc.bsky.social.
Next stop Rotterdam, then Breda 🙌
Ah....back at the @everythingproc.bsky.social with @sidefx.bsky.social for my regular procedural fix.
*chef's kiss
Ah, @xordev.com ported my erosion filter to Shadertoy alternative fragcoord.xyz, where all the parameters can be conveniently tweaked with sliders instead of having to edit code values and recompile.
Hyped for @everythingproc.bsky.social next week 🎉
For the @apparance.bsky.social masterclass, @olawson.bsky.social whipped up this rad procedural recreation of the iconic Breda University Chapel venue for attendees to dig into.
LOOK AT IT IN ALL ITS PROCGEN GLORY!

This is a rendition of the Breda University Chapel building that hosts the Everything Procedural Conference each year. Built by one of our procedural wizards @olawson.bsky.social to see what could be done in a couple of days with our tools. He'll be there along with @heydanthomas.bsky.social and I.
Looking forward to the highlight of our #ProcGen year, Everything Procedural Conference.
There are still Masterclass and Conference tickets available here: www.everythingprocedural.com#masterclasses
Run-time procedural build of the @everythingproc.bsky.social event hall. Get your hands on the project in the Masterclass we are running at the event next week. Join the Apparance team to see how it works and what else you can do with the tech that powers it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CG_C...
My erosion filter is out! Video, blog post, and shader source.
It emulates erosion without simulation, so it's fast, GPU friendly, and trivial to generate in chunks.

#EPC2026 Speaker announcement: @damjanmx.bsky.social
Think COPs are just for texture synthesis? Think again. In this rapid-fire 30-minute investigation, we’re playing around with Houdini’s revamped Copernicus context to see how versatile it is.
#procgen #Gamedev #Indiedev #techart #gamedesign
Come hang out in Breda and get some sweet, sweet #ProcGen skills.
Apparance Masterclass at #EPC2026 by @sam.apparance.uk, Oliver Lawson & @heydanthomas.bsky.social from Apparance Studios.
This masterclass will feature a series of practical exercises using Apparance in Unreal Engine with guidance from the Apparance team.
#ProcGen#GameDev#IndieDev#GameDesign
📣 New speaker announcement: Thomas Kombuechen
In this talk Thomas will present, demonstrate and share valuable insights into developing cables.gl. Cables.gl is a browser-based visual programming platform for creating real-time interactive graphics.

Everything Procedural turns 10 this year. April 7-10 in Breda. April 7-10 in Breda with SideFX, JangaFX, and Embark Studios presenting. I've been deep in Houdini for procedural systems for just about all of my projects lately, so massive FOMO
Stoked!

New speaker announcement📣: Gil Damoiseaux
This talk will introduce IlluGen, JangaFX’s node-based, real-time VFX asset generator, and show how it fits a procedural generation mindset. You’ll see how a single graph can author the core 2D and 3D building blocks behind real-time effects
#gamedev#EPC2026
New speaker announcement📣: Tom Rethaller
A practical deep dive into how we generated procedural terrain for Dune: Spice Wars with a team of 2 over less than 2 years. This talk covers the challenge of creating diverse desert landscapes with constrained and precise art direction.
#gamedev#EPC2026
New speaker announcement: @alexanderbirke.bsky.social will join the #EPC2026. Sea Of Rifts generates its world in real time using shader-based procedural techniques. This talk demonstrates how we achieve visual variety through GPU tricks.
