Rubik’s cube
I am starting a new series of videos on Houdini in parallel with the Intro series. This video summarizes all the things you will be learning throughout the series. I will be covering the entire series in 3 parts, beginning with modelling the cube based on a real-world cube. Next we will find out how to set up the network to make the cube work. Finally we will set up our own scene and create a custom shader to composite the cube within Houdini itself.

Rubik’s cube | 10 | Repeating Operations 2 - For Each & SOP Solver
We are continuing with understanding different ways of doing repetitive tasks in Houdini. This time I have updated to the Houdini v15, so there are a few changes to the UI and the options available to perform repetitive tasks. So, i am covering more nodes than I had originally planned.
