Hi,

This is my first tutorial for Houdini; it shows how to create a light wrap shader in VEX and VOPs. It also shows how to use the Illuminance Loop VOP for getting the total illumination from lights in your scene.

Andy, nice tutorial! Enjoyed it.

Excellent! Thank you!

Outstanding Andy !

Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed it.

BTW, a quick thanks to Dragos for pointing out that Houdini 9 has parameter instances for materials, so the stuff about attributes driving the “wrap” parameter aren't strictly necessary.

I wrote the tutorial for V8, but I'll try update the tutorial for V9 at some point.

Cheers

Andy

Hmmm well i managed to copy your workflow in H9 so it's not really necessary….You'd make make a new one instead of redoing the old one

awsome cool tutorial, yeah the more VOPs stuff the better! I'd love to see a zbrush how-to guide as well

I have Just done the tut! Really cool! Can't wait for the next one!

Cool! Thanks!
