Hi guys, I just drop by to show some progress after two months of learning Houdini. Nothing special but dam m I proud of what I managed to accomplish so far. All quads and procedural to some extent.

Nice!
btw, I think you mis-pasted the youtube link, (though the viking music is cool )

Thanks, Herve, much appreciated. I did a lot of changes for which I will be uploading one more video and then share a file. I managed to get much better performance from the new setup and a nice building block for the attachments which are now easy to add or change.

Cheers,
Igor

So I did a quick texturing and rendering within SP and this is what I've got. I think Ill end this mini-project and start a new one. Was a great learning experience. Was thinking about how to add lightnings but, I am not sure what would be best approach. :/
Thanks for the comments!!
