Take your first steps into the world of Houdini and begin to discover the power of its node-based workflow. As you progress, you'll build a complete scene from start to finish. Learn how to model, simulate, texture, light, and render a simple shot while exploring the core concepts that make Houdini such a flexible and procedural tool.

This lesson includes a step-by-step PDF which you can use to follow along the lesson supported by video tutorials.

    Its good to check Render All Frames with a Single Process before render. It makes the render quicker.

    Is there a book?

      There is a book for H19.5 - it is a little too old to be helpful with H22 - working through the H22 lessons right now to update them - hopefully this will lead to a H22 book

    I have finished all lessons today and I have a great feeling about Houdini. I was overwhelmed at Houdini for the first couple weeks but this series tighten everything together nicely. Now I can continue move on to the other beginner levels to build a strong foundation before going to intermediate level tutorials.

    Hi Robert,

    After watching other series on lookdev, I found there is Material Library node where users create USD MaterialX builder or Karma Material builder. Each builder is a material whereas with Texture Material Library, users can create many USD material and develop networks of material. Watching that series, I understand that USD MaterialX builder doesn't have some of the node that on Karma Material build has but users could export to other DCC to recognize like Maya LookdevX. So my question is, when to use the Texture Material Library like in this video and when to use the Material Library and create material builder?

    Thank you.
    Giap.

      Texture Material Library takes you to the Copernicus context so your focus is on texturing. The final USD Material node generates a material for use in Solaris. The Material Library node is for building materials using various Material X nodes that can reference textures. You have more control over the parts of the material.

        I have done some research and I found Texture Material Library is like creating texture procedurally like Substance Designer. But it has a feature of outputting the material so users could use right away instead of referencing texture again in the builder to build a material. I hope I understand it correctly.
