Hi guys,

I'm working at an automotive studio which is really pushing Unreal Engine stuff and to speed up our workflow, I'd love to be able to create digital assets such as roads, race tracks with stadiums etc. I've searced on google and a lot of the proceedural road creation stuff is very old. There's a tutorial series on CMIVFX.com about it but I think the tutorial is from at least 4-5 years ago and as everyone knows, Houdini has changed a lot since then.

Does anyone who has these tutorials or does anyone know if buying them would be worth it, or would I find myself getting stuck on many occasions due to Houdini's changes?

Cheers!

Hmm
i sometimes like to watch old tutorials (but i use Houdini for 5 yeras now) the principles mostly still apply.
You will most likely even be able to open the old scenes that are provided.

So if it is the concept that you want to learn it might actualy be ok. If you dont know Houdini that well yet i would only look at new tutorials. Once you know your way around in general it is even sometimes fun to watch old ones.

I think you will get stuck, if you dont know the current houdini quite well.

The cool thing about houdini is that you can also watch a new tutorial about modeling in general and it will help you with your street project. I tell you it feels great once you have learned something to great extend and learning new stuff will be much easier. It is always the same concepts: mostly: attributes on points …
