      Thank you very much for the great feedback! I remember when I first got started in Houdini, it was all a little overwhelming. Glad to hear you found the tutorial helpful :) All the best!

    Very good :)

    • surfacedstudio 9年, 3ヶ月 前  | 

      Thank you!

    Agreed. Really helpful tutorial for a total Houdini nube like me. Thanks!

      I'm still a n00b myself, but hopefully as I pick up new things I can make more videos to help other newbies out! :)

    I love this, but I got totally stuck when you deleted the geometry node.
    I got it in the end (with a bit of help!), but if its to be deleted, why does it need to be made in the first place?
    Now, on to the next part!

    Thank you for making these videos!

    Cheers,
    Mealea Ying

      Thank you so much for the great feedback Maelea!
      Great to hear that you enjoyed the tutorial - I just uploaded my second Houdini tutorial covering basic physics if you are interested :)
      Apologies for the slow reply, I haven't checked my comments here for a little bit!
      Cheers,

    when i open my Houdini the objects dont show up, what i need to do? what i dindt did?

    • surfacedstudio 9年, 1ヶ月 前  | 

      Which objects don't show up? The shelf tools? Also, apologies for the slow reply, usually posting technical questions in the forum should get you much quicker responses (as I'm not the only one responding :D)

    Using Houdini 16.0.600 but the Boolean option is not available when I follow along the tutorial

    • surfacedstudio 9年, 1ヶ月 前  | 

      That seems strange, Boolean nodes are one of the big new features of version 16!

  • MealeaYing 9年, 2ヶ月 前  | 

    @HenriqueDias:
    Have you JUST opened it? If so there are no objects in the workspace, you have to put them there. That is done in a number of ways, but if you are watching this tutorial you will see one way of using nodes to to it.

    @JohnHalpin:
    If you watch closely (I missed this too) you will see that he makes a "Geometry Node" then double clicks it to get inside of it. Once he does this the Boolean node becomes available (just hit TAB and start typing Boolean).
    After entering the node he deletes it, Im not clear on why, but I think its simply to keep things tidy (its not gone, you just dont need the little icon representing the node itself).
    So do this:

    1) Make a Geometry Node.
    2) Double Click it.
    3) Delete it.
    4) Hit Tab and select Boolean.
    5) Continue with the rest of the tutorial.

    I hope that helps!

    Hey!

    At 18:00 when you work with the boxes. How can I set the second box to form the wire frame? I can only view one box at a time, but the second box does not have a wire frame when I only view the first box.

    The install process was most confusing.

    I downloaded the installer (I picked the newer "launcher"). I was then prompted to restart my machine to complete the process. No Houdini icons in the Start menu, and no shortcuts on the desktop.

    I double-clicked the installer / launcher again. This time, I got both of the aforementioned things. But...

    I am now presented with two choices: Production Build and Daily Build. What the hey does this mean??? There's no explanation.
