This first Houdini Kitchen tutorial takes an overview of a scene in Houdini and explains how its elements relate to other 3D software. It looks at some of the ways geometry can be manipulated and how a basic Digital Asset is set up and used in a scene.

Houdini Kitchen tutorials are aimed at experienced 3D artists who are new to Houdini, and focus on creating procedural geometry for video games. Each tutorial covers a single node or concept, and will usually finish with a demonstration of how that tool might be used in asset creation. There are easier ways to use Houdini – commonly used nodes can be set up automatically using shelf tools, and useful networks are now embedded in higher level nodes – but I believe that to be able to fully harness the power of Houdini it is important to understand the basics. I have worked as a Technical Artist in the Video Game industry for 15 years, and my credits include Killzone 2 & 3, The Getaway 1 & 2 and Playstation VR Worlds. I have been learning Houdini since 2005, and have been using it in production for the last 5 years. I also have a degree in Archaeology and have completed several 3D projects for the British Museum.

    Cristal clear.

    The kind of tutorial i was looking for. An overview of "stuff".
    Sure, i still don't know how or why it works, but it doesn't matter. Just a good old "here is how i did it, you'll understand later".

    thank you <3

    For some reason I can not access the download page. It closes immediately and then says it can't be downloaded securely. Did anyone have the same problem and knows how to solve it?

    In Google Chrome on Windows I managed to download the scene file by Right Mouse Button clicking the download button and choosing save.
    I then had to override the Discard button to download it.
