There are a few stages to learning Houdini; getting into nodes and proceduralism is one, dynamics is another, vops is another. But the one that can seem the most daunting is learning VEX.

This series of lessons is designed to make it less scary. It's not for total Houdini beginners; the lessons move fast and assume you know about geometry attributes, sops, and have a general understanding of how to get around Houdini. It's also not a complete coding course for vex, that's way too big a task to deal with in 20 short lessons.

    The Joy Of Vex. LOL. Not a lot of people will get that one anymore. The Joy Of Sex was very popular when I was a kid. Cool lessons, btw. As someone with no coding experience and just a couple of weeks of learning Python on YouTube I appreciate anything that will help me learn Houdini thoroughly.


    Warm regards.
