I am looking at creating a frog generating tool with Houdini as my final project for a procedural modeling class, so I just gathered a few tutorials that I thought might be helpful. The skin of the frogs is going to be a key feature that I don’t have much experience with, so I want to look into noise and shaders and how those go together to apply there.

The first video just seems like a generally helpful video for creatures, especially those without fur since the wrinkles should be much more noticeable. Frogs will also have some very visibly wrinkly locations dealing with their legs and face especially I think.
