Noice ! For the VEXvsVOP part.. do not forget on the AttrivuteVOP you can click the node arrow on the top left of the param view and choose VEX/VOP Options->'View VEX Code' to see the generated code from the node.. useful if one wants to re-create it in full VEX ! Cheers 🤟and thanks for the tuts !
What took me 6 months, 5 nodes and is only applicable to a single object (Volume Cube) in Blender, takes 2 minutes, 2 nodes and is applicable to anything in Houdini. You have no idea how long I spent in Blender GeoNodes trying to accomplish the noise/masking fx on organic shapes. And you taught me how to do it in less than an hour with this 1st tutorial alone. I'm literally spending the next 72 hours completing every single one of your playlists. Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!! Dream. Come. True.
Well Blender is actually not ideal for this kind of stuff :), I tried also to go over blender tutorial on geometry nood and you just hit walls... I just start houdini it is my first tutorial i have hard time to follow up on this one, Ineed to see it couple time :) it will get in :)
For me, this is the best beginner tutorial. I wish I had noticed it earlier, then I would be further along now. His assessments of what is really, really important (for beginners) are particularly valuable. These tips will immediately take away nearly any fears you may have about this monster program. THANK YOU!
I love this, the progression is perfect for beginners! You make sure to cover all of the foundational topics in a way which isn't boring. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much! I am a beginner in Houdini almost 1 year, end I was see a lot of beginner courses. I can say your intro to Houdini very impressive, especially how DOPs works. True master!
Pls support this guy 👦 🙏 We want more from u . Thank you sir. U r doing great. If u make a entire video on clarisse then it will be great for us. Thanks sir . Love from India
As an ex accountant turned 3d enthusiast, I felt like home when I saw the spreadsheet 😂. But the truth is it does help with understanding the idea of attributes. I did use "handles" in the data set to try to analyse it. So it kinda gels.
Hahaha you're probably one of the very few people that won't get scared by spreadsheets in 3D! For me as an artist it was very daunting when I first started out
THE BEST TUTORIAL i ve ever seen So easy to learn this program And let me just make it clear about conception of accumulation effect It took me near 15 minutes to realize how it works When you merge two nodes - static input and previous frames, and after that you make something in att VOP with them, You basically take pocket of scatters with start position, transfer them And in second iteration you get this transfered pocket - previous frame and add NEW pocket in the start So you just transfer ALL the points every iteration and add a basic points every time so there no Emptiness in the start
I was looking for something exactly like this. This is so well put together I'm only 40 minutes in and all this is so so much clearer and actually doesn't feel daunting anymore.
Can't believe that this is a free course! I've taken so many Houdini courses, and yours is by far the best one. I'm going to enroll in your paid course very soon!
I am very grateful for your course! It is very well structured, and most importantly, you explain why everything is necessary. This is the first Houdini course that I watched to the end with interest.
Thank you very much tutor , Im completely beginner to houdini. this beginner course is very useful for me to get start with Houdini. ❤ This is Value of Time.
So happy to have stumbled on to your channel! As a C4D & blender user, I'm feeling pretty seen at 1:22:15 haha. Keep up the great work. Really love your teaching style.
When I learning AE i watched all your tutorials about it, like 2 years ago. Now, after learned Blender I also wanted to learn houdini cause its procedural 3D app. Im still pretty new in Houdini (started 4months ago) but i Think that I can learn many things from you :D (Like this rose in intro
Great to hear that! Gonna release a bunch of new stuff soon so stay tuned! The rose intro is one of my courses but it's a bit more on the intermediate side hehe!
@@voxyde Im not scared of Learning or Practicing, Even if Im learning 3D for one year from scratch (so i think its not that much time considering many factors) but I will learn it cause it bring me a lot of fun :D. I'll check your course later !
First!! My god man this is so awesome to see. I have downloaded and dissected your templates so many times in After Effects and now you are going to help with Houdini. Thanks my man! let me know if you are available for mentoring options! cheers Dan
Wow really cool to hear that! I might have some mentoring options sometime in the future, but for now I have a huge catalogue of Houdini courses (both free & paid) that I have to get out over the next months. Expect a lot of tutorials!
Thanks for the reply man. Do let me know about these mentoring options in the future, very interested. For now I'll focus on the tutorials you are going to drop. Keep up the good work man 🙏
I really have to replay replay in order to get it cause it is dense for beginner lol ... but actually i make it :) I am at the pointwhere you make the point that it is better to run via solver that include previous frame in order to get good render ;) ... i guess it is what the noise algorythme work with and also i think it get logical since it might reflect also some inertia ... 10 min more and i go sleep :) Thank you for the tutorial
Thank you very much for this beginner course, the best progression for beginners, i just have an idea for your web, i don't know if i missed up this but, i can't find such a learning path, or maybe a Beginner - Medium - Advance categories, all your courses look great but i can't figure out which is the next one to make a good progression in my skills. So i am a little confused in what order i must follow.
Hi! I completely understand. There are quite a few more "Intro to ..." courses that will come out this year in order to bridge the gap between beginners and intermediates! Most of the courses fall around the same difficulty which is somewhere around intermediate, but I think I will rank them eventually in difficulty order as well!
Hi, Hope you are doing well thank you for the great series. It's really helping and inspiring me a lot. I wanted to ask, whenever I use camera navigation, the movement of the camera follows the position of the mouse cursor. Is there a way for it to move or rotate from the center of the object, like it does in Maya? Are there any settings for that?
Hmm there isnt a setting like that (that im aware of). I think it's simply a matter of getting used to,it might feel weird at first but gets better over time!
I will probably cover kinefx evetntually but theres so much stuff i have to cover first thats more vfx related that i dont know when kinefx will come 😆
@@voxyde I will look foward it, even a paid tutorial will be treat, I wanted to shift fully to Houdini for a long time now, thank you again for sharing.
Hey great course! Quick question: on 36:53 we have the driver to determine the color for each point based on the ramp. Though, the colors in the shape seem to smoothly transition from black to white. I expected that because of the color being random, we would be able to tell each point apart. Have I misunderstood something? Thanks in advance!
Houdini automatically interpolates the color for the primitives, this is done under the hood. When you assign the color on the points it creates this faded smooth look, but if you assign the color on the primitive level, you won't get the smooth transition
I tried rebelway's 'intro to houdini for fx' and couldn't follow along. The lecturer was disorganized, there were numerous random cuts in the video, he seemed skittish, often mumbling and offering half-explanations. Hopefully this course is a better alternative.
Haha that's for you to decide but all I can say is that I did spend a lot of time planning this before actually recording. Unfortunately when it comes to Houdini, to get started you just need to know some boring fundamental stuff. Anyway good luck brother! Let me know how it goes
Am I the only one mad confused about the VOPS operations part? man I didnt understand almost anything. I just understood pretty much it was a powerful and very essential to master houdini. And that you can basically recreate anything inside. But idk how Im going to memorize all the little node you were adding in the vop.
That's how all of us felt for the first few weeks learning Houdini: confused. Theres an Intro to VOPS follow up course on my youtube channel where I go more in depth about it.
@@voxyde thanks G I’ve been feeling down cause of this but I plan on watching that intro course after I finish this one thxx a lot G great tut by the way
@@amadousagna7053 no prob. Houdini will make you feel stupid for the first few weeks or even months, but it is the best software for VFX. If you're consistent, take your time and write down notes and practice as you study, you can do it
After this, I will recommend watching my Intro to VOPS course (free as well), and then trying some of the free courses on voxyde.com. If you feel comfortable following some of the free courses, you will probably be able to follow most of the pro courses as well. But I would NOT recommend my paid courses to anyone with under 2 months experience of Houdini!
Ah okay, lets say I've watched this and the VOPS - but still having a bit of a hard time following your free courses - what do you suggest in between that? :D@@voxyde
my words Houdini actually headache...it half SketchUp and half After Effect....my head gonna spun to find all setting, especially the tools is shit and cannot be customize...all the shit tool that we not gonna touch in our life keep appears...for Adobe like Photoshop for example I remove the masking tools button icon...cause I get headache when using it.
@@voxyde nope...you can't lmao at me yet.....that ctrl alt s pretty much hiding all tools, not for custom tools bar environment like SketchUp that you scrabble around the screen.....look how clean SketchUp render mode workspace....if you try compare with Houdini it like just like a Japanese house vs Indian house.
Noice ! For the VEXvsVOP part.. do not forget on the AttrivuteVOP you can click the node arrow on the top left of the param view and choose VEX/VOP Options->'View VEX Code' to see the generated code from the node.. useful if one wants to re-create it in full VEX ! Cheers 🤟and thanks for the tuts !

Cheers for the hard work!
