Welcome to the Karma User Guide!

Each chapter covers a topic, and links to relevant pages and help cards across Houdini’s documentation.

This guide is in-progress, as it is still lacking some important, basic chapters. Every addition of the user guide will expand to add new chapters, fill in more details, and cover new workflows.

The files used to produce the renders in each chapter are installed with Houdini. $HFS/houdini/help/files/karma_user_guide
