Hi there,

I've been playing with Houdini very little so far, just plain basic renders of studio setups, to get my feet wet with the interface.

Now it's time to move forward and starting taking things a bit more seriously.
So, I'd like to learn Mantra (and then hopefully particles).
I'm looking for tutorials and I know there are several around, though right now I'm wondering about the ones available here on the Learning page. Especially those for Rendering, it seems they are for Houdini 13.
So, my question is: how much has changed since then? Does still make sense approaching Mantra referring to those tutorials since I'm on Houdini 14?

Thanks for any hints.

Someone…?

I'd say they're still very useful
just keep referring to this series of docs to spot any discrepancies

Thank you Michael,

I'll follow your advice.
If there's any other good tutorials for beginners about Mantra, please add to the list, I'm eager to learn!

Digital Tutors has a couple….
these are nice:

In my opinion one of the best to start is HelloLuxx “learn Jumpstart Vol. 8 – Intro to Lighting & Rendering” by Adam Swaab
