Conceptual Introduction to PDG
If you are new to PDG, or are having difficulty in understanding PDG, this video is the place to start. No hands on learning is offered but rather an easy introduction explaining what PDG is, what it can be used for, and all its components such as Processes, Work Items, and Schedulers.

PDG | Particle Steam Wedging | Part 1
This hands on tutorial will show how PDG can generate multiple particle streams (wedges) utilizing multiple cores in parallel. In part 1 of this video we will discuss a general Houdini centric workflow where the Particle Stream is created with a few Objects and a Dynamics Operator Network. We will then drop down a TOP Network and use PDG to drive the particle simulation we just created.

PDG | Particle Stream Wedging | Part 2
In part 2 of this hands on tutorial we will rebuild the same simulation using a TOP centric workflow instead of a Houdini workflow.
