تسلط بر اصول اولیه هودینی از Rebelway

This course will teach you the basics of Houdini through a multi-week learning experience. There’s never been a better way to learn the world’s most important VFX software.

WEEK 1

In week 1 we introduce houdini and cover the concepts of proceduralism. Then we start exploring the interface and how to navigate scenes. We will briefly cover contexts and their uses. Further we will cover nodes and how to interact with them.

WEEK 2

Geometry context, Here we start our journey into learning geometry, by modeling a basic building We look at the key differences between procedural workflow and manual editing of geometry. We cover different nodes and their uses, such as group nodes, delete/blast nodes. How to setup up attributes in various ways, The importance of checking the spreadsheet to make sure the data/attributes is working and flowing through the node correctly.

WEEK 3

In the week we introduce copying and the tools to use. Look at instancing and how to deal with packed primitives Variations per copy point. For each Loops Heightfields What are they? We build a terrain, looking at the various nodes to manipulate heightfield, Scatter geometry on the heightfield

WEEK 4

Volumes and VDBs Building volumes and SDFs Manipulation VDBs SOP solver

WEEK 5

Particles, Learn various ways of emitting particles. Manipulating particles by controlling them using pop forces, eg, attract, axis, curve force. Dynamically create groups and attributes to spawn different events.

WEEK 6

Vellum, Cloth workflow, pinning, attaching, fracturing. Grains, emitting, clumping, interacting with cloth Hair, not just for hair, we look at using hair for simulating cables.

WEEK 7

RBDs Setting up geometry for simulation Different methods of fracturing Breaking constraints

WEEK 8

Pyro Creating emitters, pyro source, pyroburst, Create variation by adjusting attributes. Simulation setup and settings Outputting the relevant data

WEEK 9

Oceans and FLIP Setting up oceans and dealing with ocean spectrums to create variation. Working with FLIP, simulation and collider setups Viewing data Meshing particles
