This tutorial is the fourth part of the series "Houdini FX for Motion Graphics." In this lessons, 3D- & VFX-Trainer Helge Maus (pixeltrain.de) demonstrates, how the procedural approach of Houdini FX can help the artist to be more effective in the fields of Motion Graphics, Creation and Commercials. Step by step he builds a tool for rasterizing surfaces, adds UVs and groups, talks about texturing with the Principled Shader and prepares the scene for Rendering with Mantra. Also, topics like AOVs and custom passes for object ids are bespoken.

    Awesome series of tutorials! thank you SO much!

    If it's okay I'd like to share my result following this. Very new to houdini, most things make sense when they are there, but figuring out whats possible and thinking the right way is very hard when starting out.
