Can you be more specific? What do you already know about Houdini? What aspects of Houdini are you interested in learning more about? Imperative/procedural modelling? Rigging? Animation? Simulations? Making shaders? Making assets? Lighting/rendering? Compositing?
Writing code for fun and profit since... 2005? Wow, I'm getting old.

1. there is no pixar button that creates impressive CG Worlds on the fly.
2. Speech to CG is not build in so you can't say: make a robot…. bigger…. metallic black….. it's a fighting robot….. 6 arms…. has to look more bad ass… yesss awesome perfect done. :-)

as ndickson said we need more information where you are stuck at the moment we are playing a dart game to guess where you need help. :-)

I don't know much about Houdini except that, it is a creator of Prism. I am a beginner. I want to know about its basics.
