“How do I get started in Houdini, It’s hard to learn right? And the answer is: It’s hard to master all of Houdini… but it’s not hard to get started”
-Christopher Hebert
My Houdini learning strategy
1. Learn the basics – Find the beginner tutorials that work for you.
2. Dive into what you find most compelling.
3. Become completely overwhelmed and distraught in realizing the futility of the pitiable and pathetic pursuit of attempting to model anything remotely as beautiful and complex as what you find in nature.
4. Do it anyway.
5. Stick with it.
On the left you will find Houdini learning topics organized from my perspective of what would have been useful to me to know both early in my journey, but also as a constant resource to reference as I go along.
