Course Description
It seems that most people want to do as little work as possible. If you are one of them, I advise you to explore Houdini. This program will help you speed up the modeling process especially if you need to create many variations of one model. Of course, you can model everything on your own, but why don’t let a computer do it for you?
In this course, I'll show you how to do it in real practice. Using a stylized house as an example, you will learn procedural modeling. We will develop a system that will allow you to create an almost infinite number of model variations. For this, we will use point clouds, learn how to work with attributes and a little bit of VEX coding. For rendering we will use Redshift, but you can use any other render engine of your choice.
Of course, I will not teach you only how to model this house but give you knowledge that will help you create your own models. Also, after completing this course, you will get another project into your portfolio.
I really like Houdini and hope you will enjoy it too!

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 a great introduction to procedural modeling. However, the 720p resolution makes it difficult to follow, so I hope the quality can be upgraded to at least 1040p for a better viewing experience.

Good beginner course. Focuses mainly on procedural house modeling. Grass platform shown in the preview image is missing.

Great course to learn the basic techincs of procedural modeling in Houdini

Se seguito passo passo non ci sono problemi, forse tralascia alcuni aspetti che per utenti meno esperti non sono scontati ma in linea di massima è strutturato bene.

This is a great beginner course to procedural modeling. This course sets the foundation to learn more advanced methods of achieving the same, or better results. Good job!

Great tutorial so far, but in the future please be careful about doing things without mentioning them. Your audience is following along and most likely won't catch every click you make unless you vocalize them. Also, I think it was episode six, it had two audio tracks both in Russian and English running. It was very hard to follow.

I have no actual knowledge in Houdini but after taking this lesson I am now confident to use and further enhance my skills in procedural using Houdini. PS. Sir Alek is so responsive to his student I really appreciate that! thank you!

Houdiniで建物を作る方法は他にもありもっと楽な方法も存在するが、このビデオでは一から作る方法を学ぶことが出来る。 慣れていない自分にとって簡単ではないが、建物を作る方法の全体像を知ることが出来るので非常に有益な授業である。

Really great course. It was exactly what I was looking for and has helped me greatly with getting to grips with procedural modelling in Houdini. Can't wait until get my Indie license so I can experiment with some digital assets in UE4. Thanks Aleksandr Shtyvoloka, can't wait for more of your courses.
