Hey everyone,

just stumbled upon this book on amazon.jp https://www.amazon.co.jp/o/ASIN/4862463592/bdbooks-22 [www.amazon.co.jp]

I managed to obtain some parts of it and I must say it's very good book and not just for beginners.
It has many interesting pages on SOP and VEX lands and actually I made me spend quite some time trying to translate it as I was really really interested.
The lack of books about H is well known so I kept wandering around the japanese amazon website, and it's literally full of them!

Now, I am not sure if this is something I could call a proposition for a tutorial, hell I am not even sure this post will have any use, but I was hoping that maybe, just maybe, SESI could push this info to some international editorial and have some of those books translated or something. It shouldn't necessarily be free, as Japanese people pays for those books of course, but still it would create such a tremendous resource for learning, teaching etc etc.

Any thoughts?

Looks like a great idea to me… shame is in Japanese only.

Yesterday I also saw this book Nature design with Houdini [indyzone.jp]. It would be very interesting to have a collaboration with the Japanese publishing [www.borndigital.co.jp].

Most of the nature design stuff is also here as video tutorials:

I must give praise to this guy!
He is a Japanese, but make English tutorials, although English is not my native language, I can understand it.
