Nearly 12 hours of new H9 video training! June 18, 2008, 6:37 p.m.

Greetings All!

I just wanted to drop everyone a quick note to let you know that we’ve released a new Houdini 9 video series at 3D Buzz. The topic this time is the creation of an elevator digital asset, complete with tons of procedural control and behavior automation!

The asset itself was created by Tomas Slancik as an entry in one of our Asset Creation Contests over at 3D Buzz. Through the videos, we carefully break down the entire network for the asset, explaining how and why each thing is done.

Among the many topics covered, you’ll find over 3 hours of lecture giving an in-depth look at how the complex CHOPs networks used in this asset drive the motion of the elevator. You will also find the creation of a Python script that is used to verify and automatically adjust parameter values entered by an artist for creating multi-floor elevator moves, taking into account elevator speed, door motion times, and pause durations.

These videos have been produced as a way to help the up-and-coming Houdini artist to get a more solid grasp on technical networks. In all, the series consists of nearly TWELVE hours of video, and it’s all available completely for free over at 3D Buzz!

You can find these videos on the front page of 3dbuzz.com under the Houdini video category, or you can just click here! [3dbuzz.com]

I hope you find these videos useful!

On a side note: this series brings us up to 27 hours of free H9 video training content.

All the best!
