Course Description
Welcome and let's dive into the math magic of Houdini! In this lesson, we'll learn how to bring your ideas to life using procedural modeling tools. We'll transform your fantasies into real objects, harnessing nodes to create your future masterpieces. You'll learn to express your love for what you create with your own hands through the possibilities Houdini offers. After completing this course, you'll be able to develop a scene you've imagined, using almoust 100% procedural modeling – simplifying your creative process and reducing project time.
Since this course is geared towards beginners, I've strived to avoid complex concepts and minimize the use of VEX code in favor of VOPs. We'll primarily work with attributes, Copy to points, Boolean, and only a small amount of simple VEX code. For rendering, we'll be using Karma CPU.
Our focus will be on the main scene object – Thopter, but we'll also pay attention to the other elements. My goal is to immerse you in the world of Houdini using the most straightforward language possible. I've also tried to create an unconventional scene to make the learning process more engaging. By teaching you to create this scene, I aim to help you unleash your creativity and overcome any fear that the software might limit your ideas.

Hello! My name is Aleksandr, and for 14 years I have been in the world of CG. At that time, when I started, there was practically no information on this topic on the Internet, so I had to collect knowledge bit by bit. I'm as self-taught as you are.
I have been working as a freelance artist for almost 10 years. During this time, I learned to do architectural visualization, create an environment, sculpt, work with textures and much more.
Technologies are developing so fast that we can't afford to spend years studying basic information. So I want to do my bit and help you quickly get structured knowledge that will help in the creation of your projects.

This course is amazing. It delivers what it promises, "Modeling in Houdini". I've learned a ton of different approaches and nodes for modeling and achieving a certain look in Houdini. But its a bit tough to follow since the instructor doesn't refer to references that much. Would've been great if the instructor included a small break down of the part or detail he's about to model, and explain some challenges that come to mind when coming across those specific details. But overall, a wonderfull course! Totally worth the the follow through! I can't wait to start creating assets! Thank you!

So far the explanation are super clear. And what he doesn't show, it's also clear and mentioned.

I learned a lot from the tutorial. The instructor is presenting everything in a easy to understand way and I found in this tutorial a lot of clever ways and methods to do procedural modelling. In short , it was worth it!
