Game Asset Creation with Houdini (Udemy.com)

Good Course! A bit outdated now but you can definitely still follow along. The super sweeper part can be skipped as the current sweep node in Houdini 20 does exactly that, and my only problem was that I had some issues with the door asset, but I got it sorted on my own time and it wasn't such a big deal in the end.

Great course to really help familiarize you with Houdini. I was a complete beginner before, but now I feel like I can tackle some projects using this. Only quibbles are, this course is three years old as of now and Houdini has changed somewhat (basically just the Sweep node), though that could be a good learning opportunity if you do some research yourself. I did, and I learned more about some things that I would have had everything been up to date. Other quibble is the instructor doesn't appear to be active anymore. But the other than those two things, this is a great course if you're starting out in Houdini.

This series was amazing. Richard always shows every step of the process. He is using Houdini 16.5, while my current version is 18, so there were a few changes that stumped me for a while. (The new sweep node does almost everything that he had us implement in our SuperSweep digital asset.) The workflow he teaches in this series is really powerful. As I learned to work this way I was able to be MUCH more productive, and track down issues very quickly. Thank you, RIchard!

Great course on how to effectively use Houdini to create dynamic procedural buildings, besides the one or two changes due to engine version, is worth the buy. However, changes to Side Effects Licensing means you need to buy a commercial license to be able to complete section 8 as they have locked the functionality of the plugins for Unity/UE4/3DS/Maya to the indie license, meaning aprentice users lose out.

Like Procedural Assets 1, this second course worked really well for me. Since I am far more interested in actual modeling and digital assets than game engines, not only did I learn useful techniques but provided myself homework: getting the textures on to the assets inside Houdini (rather than back & forth between Houdini and Unity). High marks from me, Richard, and I look forward to next course. Thanks!

So much fun using Houdini with this course. If you're looking to start 3D modeling in Houdini get this course and season 1. Richard goes thru: 1-Step by Step process 2-Explanation of code 3-Debugging 4-Using Houdini Engine with Unity (not Unreal as of this review, "I'm guessing it won't be much different") 5-Creating a Procedural approach for almost anything I'm looking forward to more courses

One of the best video tutorials i've seen. As a new producer on a small studio, I have to learn Houdini to improve the production pipeline, and what I learned from your tutorial is very, very helpful. Well done, I hope you're going to create others awesome tutorials, I'd love to see medium or advanced tutorials about procedural game asset creation with houdini ! TC

Excellent course and I really feel its worth the money for anybody new to Houdini program. The Houdini program has quite a steep learning curve and I had lot of 'click' moments where I finally understood why you do certain things in this course. This is only possible due to a teacher that clearly explains whats going on and in depth. If you're new to this program, don't even think twice, get it.

What i love the most about these videos is that Richard, explains in great detail little things that other videos dont cover. For example, VEX and Houdini expressions. The fact that he stops to break it down in detail finally clears all my questions as to how other people figure out what goes in those fields. This "season" as he calls it, is definately for intermediate to advanced users. There is a massive wealth of knowledge on each video. Best houdini tutorial to get started with procedural modeling i have seen! Simply brilliant!

Very great course. The teacher actually "teach" you: (99% of the times he succeds: the 1% it's because of my fault. A definitly must buy for people interested in Learning - at least for me - a difficult software like Houdini. As suggestion, I hope in the future the teacher would dive more deep into: 1) Vex Language; 2) Internal building; Consider that the teacher is always avaible to answer your question and he usally does this in a very short time.
