VFX'n'GO - Houdini Rocks - Volume 2

In this course I cover more aspects of Mantra (render engine inside Houdini) and the Material Context. I show you how to manage the light system, compositing, and how to create advanced material in Houdini.

This course was recorded on Houdini 16.5/17 the concepts and the basic workflow are valid also on the last release of Houdini. I don't talk any part on Solaris, USD, or Karma engine, but it's good should be a good approach for starting in Mantra.

All you need is Houdini
