- This is Part 1 of the 'Houdini Isn't Scary' series. This is for anyone who would like to learn Houdini but doesn't know quite where to start. From here, I'll take you through Houdini the way I learnt it but with far less of the hiccups that I had going through it. We'll start with the basics in this part and gradually build up to advanced dynamics as the weeks go by. Feel free to leave any questions you have in the comments below and we will get back to them.

can't wait!
Can't wait, I'm primarily a compositor but keep getting blown away by what Houdini can do, definitely want to have a working knowledge of it. Exciting times
thank you for the update
Omg Finally someone who explains the ultra just starting basics.
Thanks for watching, hopefully we do justice to the absolute beginner tutorials. Enjoy!
@@NineBetween please don't left me in the middle I'm trying to learn Houdini from almost 3 years i learned c4d and a lot of other stuff so now i have the chance of revising the software again due to this covid thingy i know a lot of things I'm not a beginner but still I'm not really comfortable with vops and coding stuff
Houdini is meant to people who read manuals I think
Yes i agree, people under estimate the power teaching something from a basic level..im actually going to try it now
@@NineBetween can u tell me the teacher name?
this is the way everyone should make tutorials, no time wasted, clarity in explanation, not fast in talking and not slow, visually things marked when they are mentioned, no ehh, emm, ahh. Thank you.
For the first time, I'm actually watching a Houdini tutorial without feeling lost or left behind by the tutor. For the first time, I fully understood. You have my gratitude...
this tutorial was what everyone including me needed to start Houdini without having to be afraid of where to start and where to end up, the way you explain is honestly great, no extensive explanation, straight to the point, no slow talking, gradual increasement from this ep to the last one which honestly made me feel like i can call myself a Houdini intermediate user already, i hope you keep uploading such tutorials especially with the motion graph which helped illustrate everything and made the video seem less scary and more spontaneous because the Houdini beginners community need such a tutor.
Wow, thanks for the awesome, well thought-out comment. Your experience with the series is exactly what we were hoping for so it's great to hear. We'll be sure to keep the tutorials coming. Thanks again!
Absolutely right way to teach, thanks buddy for such a wonderful tutorial, please make a series of it
That the units are ruled out right on the viewport grid is incredibly helpful.
The best beginner's Houdini tutorial on the whole internet! Still even in 2023!
Thank you so much for making this series! Keep doing new tutorials with this same style.
The Houdini tutorial we needed❤
Not what we .....deserved? 😁
I'm a vfx student, and next year we're starting with houdini. i was so scared cause i searched for tutorials and all i see is "oh you need at least 10 years to get the basics blabla" but i think with your tutorials and a lot of patience (what i have for learning vfx) i see a bright light. I wanted to get into a bit before we start in school so i'm not in a hury. Anyways thank you so much for putting those out, much love take care!
which school do you attend? (I'm asking cuz I also wanna pursue vfx)
@@AyushSharma-hx9sw Hi friend, i'm a student at the SAE INSTITUTE. I live in Switzerland, so i don't know if there's a school near you. regards
@@coldenv_IG Hello there friend. I live in India, and as far as I know there are no good schools here. Even if there are, the job opportunities are not as good as anywhere else. So I want to do a course abroad. And thank you for replying.
Please do let me know aswell which school do u go to i live in the UAE
@@hexonedits9252 I go to SAE INSTITUTE, it's an international school
Hi, I am new to Houdini..... Your video is very very good. It is clear and logical. I decided to continue learning Houdini.
great every hotkey in maya is completely different in houdini. perfect. love it.
I'm a 3D gereralist and I use multiple 3D programs at the same time for diffrent gigs. maya and blender have the weirdest shortcuts from all the digital art programs I used so far.
Started with the SideFX beginner tutorials. Felt lost after a few minutes. Glad I found this poking around UA-cam. Thank you!
Please dont stop making tutorial videos ...its really helping out for beginners! Thank you!
im a chinese student,i dont really know what job will i do after i graduate, but i am So glad to find such a great tutorial series and a knowledge sharer!(much much much better than my college school !)you really eased my anxiety , thanks a lot : ) If only I could meet you earlier!
oh man english is so hard to speak , this is my first time to make a comment on utb , haha
You are welcome! I'm happy that I could help you. Don't worry about your English, I understood your comment😁 thank you for commenting!
Your the only guy on UA-cam who explain really good like it’s impossible to don’t understand 👍👍
I'm just starting out with Houdini and your tutorial is an amazing way to understand it as a beginner. Big thanks for this!
i just found out about houdini a few hours ago. I got in love with the physics, then i downloaded it and searched for tutorials, for hours, found nothing. then this came up, and this is perfect. thanks!
Awesome, you're exactly the person we're trying to help out in Houdini. Keep us updated on your journey! All the best!
I've been following you for years.
I come back to these series after going away studying python and then your quality, content, in depth explanation, awesome intriguing intros, and superb knowledge reminds why i subbed to you in the first place.
One day youtube is going to create a 2nd, 3rd, and maybe 4th tier subscription option because of YOU.
Yes....I said it...
All because of you.
Haha! Thanks for your consistent knowledge and countless effort in making these videos for us!
Blessings!
Thanks for the help. I am currently in Year 2 of my VFX course, and my FX animation lecturer recommended me and my class to use this playlist and learn how to go through the karmic journeys of Houdini. Karma Houdini always gets away, eh?
Once again, thanks for the video! Now to continue with the playlist! :D Shout out to Anand N for the idea!
I had no idea that they recommended this to students, lol, that's pretty cool. Thanks for the comment!
today is my first time opening Houdini , and I definitely needed something like this to help me understand the software environment. thanks a lot!
This tutorial from your gentle voice to the gentle straight forward and seemingly simple way you explain everything, is what every tutorial creator needs to learn! I just decided to go in vfx yesterday, with zero knowledge, and a friend recommened Houdini, then i came to UA-cam, and came across your video. This is the best tutorial for Houdini out there! Please do more!!!!!
a tutorial for dummies... I have been searching for this!!!
Thanks!
Thank you. As a Softimage trained person who has to do some catching up to the latest software, this channel will help.
As a total beginner, this was such a good, well-paced explanation of how to get started! Thank you for breaking it down, keeping it simple, and explaining slowly. So much better than those complicated tutorials I have been watching.
Thank you so much, I have been panicking over learning Houdini but now, I feel reassured.
This is so helpful, I came here from a beginner's course that didn't quite cover the TRUE basics. Finally I'm not so confused!
Perfect, I started my Houdini training today and feeling very comfortable using the software. Great work and thank you!
The process of working in Houdini is very meditative, I parted with my girl, do not go out with friends, quit playing games, I think I'm on my way to Nirvana.
you should be a teacher you explain everything really calm and well thank you for these video's it helps alot:)
he is!
I was actually starting to think this program is unapproachable but then I found this little gem. Amazing work man, keep it up.
just started houdini. thank you so much for this step by step guide, with great explanation and slow enough for complete beginners to follow. I think this is the best start-up tutorial out there. much appreciated!
Great after three month of boring tuts a decent approach of this beast i can now try something big, thx a lot

You really make it not being scary anymore! A clean, logically structured way of explaining and putting things together one by one makes learning Houdiny fun finally. Looking forward to seeing more of your great tutorials :-)
thank you for this series! I'm actually learning Houdini without feeling completely overwhelmed for the first time:)
You're welcome! I completely understand the feeling of being overwhelmed when starting out. That's exactly why I made this series, so I'm glad it's helping you😁

Finally, a good video tutorial with a pleasant voice and clear narration. Thank you! I've subscribed!
I appreciate the clarity of your teaching. Thank you.
"Houdini Isn't Scary."
0:51 "I admit, it IS scary."
How dare he lie like that
Thank you for spending your time doing this. So many of us in vfx were waiting for someone to come up with a simple tutorial artists could follow without bringing the big guns in chapter 01.
I did see another beginners tutorial by Houdini's website. Its not good and goes through everything so quickly. I gave up till today and found your lessons . Slowly does it and not to blow your brains. Great work
Very good lesson for a beginner!!!
As a beginner, everything is very clear to me, even though I’ve been watching this video three years since it came out, it has not lost its relevance!
I will continue to watch your lessons.
And you continue to publish more interesting and educational lessons! Good luck to you!
3 years ago I was First time install to learn Houdini. After 10 hours I quit and uninstall it thinking it's not for me. And I started learning cinema 4d. It's a great soft for motion design and good for vfx but I always needed a soft that can handle any kind of pressure also clients frequent correction. Yeah it's Houdini!!. And found your tutorial it's so simplified so that i can learn, without losing my mind and patience. Thank you so much.
とても分かりやすかったので、全部のシリーズを見てみようと思います。
It's very easy to understand and I'll take a look at the whole series.
Finally someone is willing to share the basics, thank you very much
One of the best tutorial on youTube for houdini. 🙏
thanks for this, probably the most comprehensive beginner tutorial.
You're Awesome! I think you have just done the best way of explaining Houdini over the whole internet. I have been watching a lot of basics to Houdini tutorials before but nothing even comes close to the way you explain here. I'm sure your tutorials are going to be the most in demand in the coming days. I also hope you make basics of RBD, Particles, Fluids, Vellum etc. Thanks a lot man. You're a Rockstar!
Wow, really appreciate that. And yeah, we'll cover all the basics as we go. Thanks for watching. It doesn't matter what we make, without awesome people like you watching, so thanks!
@@NineBetween Thanks man, you're welcome man. And yeah, I'll be waiting for those videos too :)
Oh Boy... your tutorials... take my money right now, and please, keep uploading more and more. Great stuff

the best teacher in the world . thanks for making the tutorial. 😊😊😊😊
Thank you bro. I used to study Games design when I was at college (UK) . But haven't touched 3D software in over 2 years. I decided to pick Houdini up because 1 of my mates studies VFXs at Uni and said it was a great software to use. I tried picking it up but struggled to even just navigate the software. You're a legend. Cheers
this is the best tutorial of houdini from internet!
