Sierpinski Triangle (Gasket, Sieve)

Posted on May 12  2019


As a challenge to myself, I wanted to build Sierpinski Triangle in a single point wrangle node in Houdini. I have built it in python and L-systems in Houdini which both easily utilize the recursive nature of the object.
However, in point wrangle nodes, recursion is not supported. Thus, an iterative approach must be taken.

Recursive version (python in Houdini)

The recursive approach makes the solution easier and I would encourage you to read the history as well in the link above.
