For game artists learning Houdini for the first time, it is important to get a good understanding of how a procedural node-based approach works. In these quickstart tutorials, you will learn how to create geometry using both interactive and procedural techniques. You will learn about the importance of groups and attributes and how to wrap up your node networks into Houdini Digital Assets. These lessons covers important workflows needed to create procedural game art.

NOTE: Some of these lessons use the SideFX Labs tools. Make sure the latest release (non production build) is installed when doing this lesson.

    It's awesome! Especially for the Houdini modeler. I regret that I didn't find it earlier. I could save so much time. But I still was able to learn a few useful tricks.
    Thank you, Simon!

    This tutorial is great! Simple and clear.
    I would like to share it with my partners but language is a big problem.
    Can I add subtitles for this video in our national language?
