Hey folks, it's been more than two years now since I started diving into modeling in Houdini. While I was hearing only bad things about modeling , I wanted to see if there was more than people might know about it. And the short answer is, hell YEA!!!

Not only did I manage to find a way to do modeling in Houdini, but I also found a way where one can have a nice flow while modeling, and honestly as someone who modeled in pretty much all DCC's, even Plasticity, I can say that Houdini does some things much better then any other DCC, not to mention the fact that things staying procedural, even if you call it destructive modeling. That's why I started to call modeling in Houdini Hybrid modeling.

In case there are people interested, here you can find the environment and setup I am using plus some of the modeling I did:

Is it possible to print out this cheatsheet? I can't find how to export a PDF or PNG from this site.

Unfortunatelz, exporting Miro page in PDF renders file really poorly. So my suggestion would be to just take a screenshot. Miro board should be high res so things should be clear enough with .jpg image. Let me know if that works for you.

Cheers,
Igor

Will you be releasing a comprehensive documentation page like you had for Modeler 2023? One thing i can't seem to find is how to jump between geo nodes without going up to object level. It was double click at one point and then I think might have changed again. I love the feature but can't figure out what the hotkey is for Modeler 2025?

You can still double click as that is Houdini's feature, you just need to enable it from here:


If you want to use Modeler for this, then hovering over the object or empty space in the viewport then pressing O on your keyboard will have the same effect.
