Overview:

The Garden Builder system is a Houdini Digital Asset that controls the list of geometry object attributes inside their operating system. They are made in Houdini (20.5.332 version) and they are used for building high level assets by resizing their scale, designing garden layouts and colouring decorative objects to make it interesting.

This digital asset is also good for generating geometry objects like Bushes, flowers, stones, fences, trees and bridges. Furthermore, they can also scale and rotate outdoor geometry attributes like Windmills and Small Statue objects.
