Hi to everyone,

As i understand Houdini is mostly used on the film industry for achieving complex effects or complex procedural modeling. My suggestion was for you guys at SESI for making a good tutorial on how one would approach modeling in houdini. I mean nice procedural modeling technique for a production quality model, maybe this is just my desire dream but why don't you think about it. Maybe focusing on when to use polys vs nurbs and all that.

just a weird idea anyway, cheers to all and keep up the awesome work.

Cheers

I'm not sure if this is what you mean but there was a old procedural modeling video tutorial back in Houdini 5.5 that still might be useful:
