Houdini Tutorial Database

Hello,

I created a database on the various tutorials available for Houdini. It still missing a lot but there are already about 300 inputs.
HOUDB

I organized the database as Sidefx, with 11 categories ; general, modeling, animation, character, rendering, compositing, effects , dynamics and I add dev and press.
I use gcstar to create the database and gcweb to publish it.
In it, you can find informations about the tutorial likes :
Categories, Author, Licence type (free or not), Media type (video, hip, paper,), Year of creation, Version of houdini it used, Operator type, Tag, Description, Level (I didn't see all of this so this is an estimation if you disagree with some say me)and Link where you can find the tuto

Gcweb's interface allows you to display the collection of different ways :

standard

description

mosaic

full mode

and a « Cloud » view

gcweb provide also a great search tool in the database

and voilà , If you find some errors in the database or if you have links to add, please say me.
The last word to thank the whole houdini's community that shares its knowledge with all,

Hope you find this useful ,
(excuse my english)

I'm happy that every day more and more people use the database. I hope it useful. If you have suggestions for improvement I'm open.

I would also ask you to send me your links to tutorials, technical papers, threads or anything else that you think would be useful for houdini users. I can not find everything on web, so I count on you to send me emails Wink

Nice initiative!

If I may come with some wishful thinking: I do miss a central repository for HIP-files users has posted around on the web. For me they are a critical source to exploring and figuring out the nuts and wirings of Houdini.

Thanks papi! Just what a noobie like me needs. Wish I saw it earlier, perhaps it could be put up as a sticky?
