AHTYA01 - Intro To The UI And Basic Concepts
Added 2018-03-29 07:37:05 +0000 UTCDear Patrons,
so today the Houdini introduction for 3D artists starts, with a basic episode outlining the functions of the different parts of the UI and some of the important concepts of Houdini. I discuss the Scene and Geometry level of the Network editor and tell you about the differences of object and geometry nodes.
Along the way I point out some specialty UI elements of Houdini. This lesson is quite basic to give you a cozy start.
I'm looking forward on hearing your opinion about pace and content of this video.
Best Manuel

2018-04-12 00:19:41 +0000 UTCIs it critical to use middle mouse button? As a mac user I have some issues with it.

2018-04-02 13:53:41 +0000 UTCThat was great. Houdini does not seem so intimidating after watching that.

2018-03-30 08:22:57 +0000 UTCLongtime Maya user who recently made the switch. Thank you for this explanation, I normally would have skipped a "learning the basics" but now I realize I don't even need the UI per se.

2018-03-29 22:24:34 +0000 UTCHi Adriano, you're right. The very first video of this series is basic. But you have to start somewhere. This course is meant for people with no prior Houdini knowledge. So even the basics have to be explained. If you have a look at the pace of the other courses on this site you'll see that we don't stick to the one video per month rule. It's more like two videos a week. One for every course. The next video will still be basic as it'll deal with the geometry context and the attribute system. Once we have this in place we'll built a quite sophisticated sweep operator and create a digital asset from it. Then we'll do a MoGraph style setup and code some falloffs. After that it'll be volumes and poly modeling. Then intro to VOPs and VEX. Then we'll start with DOPs.

2018-03-29 16:21:47 +0000 UTCReally, guys? :$ I don't mean to be unappreciative or impatient here, but there are many in depth tutorials out there already, many of them free, to learn the basics of Houdini's interface and concepts. And by the look of things now, before we get to the "Advanced CG Tutorials" content I decided to support this page for... at the rate of 1 video a month (?!) it is going to take a while. Any chance you could give the heads up on the next learning material you're planning to share please? Topics and release dates? Thanks a lot.
