Having all of our lessons in a single place will help artists quickly find relevant learning material. Next week we will post some suggestions for capture software and file formats in case you would like to submit a lesson teaching everyone your favorite Houdini technique.

Thanks again to Andrew for this great lesson!

Nice one Andrew! I hope more people can contribute, this is a great way to get different people's ways of working, which in Houdini often means completely different workflows!

Cheers,

Peter B

Well done Andrew!

Jason.

PS. Robert, the webpage says 153mb and the file seems to be 101.4mb. One is wrong and I can't tell you till this finishes downloading

thanks guys!

I think if users are going to do video tuts than it would look much more professional to have them all of similar video schemes and codecs, etc. We all know the feeling of watching some grungy u-tube video for an outdated version of whatever software we're using for how to get a certain script to work.

If enough people do video tutorials torrents and user rankings might be good. Just don't make it like the area, that thing is scary

Personally, I'd love to see some simple but effective python examples .. especially when it comes to automating parameters on DA's
