A very good basic introduction to Houdini modeling. I enjoyed the instructor’s enthusiasm.
Was a good intro to Houdini. Lecturer was competent in the product. Might I suggest though using some sort of script to follow as you teach. I come from a Blender background and understand the concepts of 3D modelling.
Someone new to this may struggle to follow along with this on the fly approach.
All in all though I enjoyed this intro.
Agree with other users, the content needs to be presented with a more concise script. There is a lot of random "ad lib" that is inefficient and actually confusing despite the best intentions of the instructor.
