วีดีโอ

I just wanna say thank you for making this. Your approach to learning and sharing that process is super inspiring, keep it up.

Welcome to Houdini brother, this is insane progress for 1 month. It took me several months until I actually started to get something out of Houdini. We will watch your career with great interest.

Wow that was a solid learning history! I think you learnt things that took like first 2 years for me in that just few weeks. I loved that you always look for the roots like documentation about origins and interviews of the people in the industry.

Dude!!!!!!

Dude!!!!

very impressive progress in one month! hopefully this will inspire others looking to get into houdini :)

Thank you for leaving all of the links in the description. I really appreciate the reserch you've done.At some point, I've found the CG wiki, too. It's such an amazing resource

good vid

wow, you go deep, a great way to learn anything

As an engineer I found the different effects you were experimenting with very interesting. They had an almost artistic abstract feel to them. Very cool.

Absolutely amazing. Ive been having an off and on relationship with houdini, Where i would try to learn it for a week and stop using it for another 3 months. You have inspired me to try to learn the program once again and this truly feels like a tutorial . Thank you so much.

Thank you for sharing. what a cool guide.

Amazing I want to learn Houdini, but it scares me a bit LOL but this video is so helpful.

Wow... really, great job.

Holy moly dude, love the video. I'm so impressed that only you learned an incredible amount of stuff in just a short month but also went through the history and philosophy of Houdini and CGI in general. That's so much progress in just a month that would take most people over a year or two to complete. Also showed your organic journey from starting with Houdini and discovering its capabilities along the way and learning and making cool stuff.

Cool bro

You learned more in 1 month than most people do in 1 year. Bravo.

Man, you’re amazing-a quick learner for sure! It took me three months to get the hang of Unreal Engine. Thanks for sharing your journey; now I have a solid reference for the tutorials I need to check out. Honestly, finding genuine tutorials online is such a pain-most of the time, I just end up with some TH-cam "experts" instead of actual Unreal experts. 😂

Do you have a discord?

I need a comment section champion who links all these videos he references

The hardest part of Houdini is affording it.

Amazing video, thanks for sharing

This is a pretty good example of how effective deliberate practice can be. Thanks for the inspiration and push!

Learning Houdini is a long road that requires an enormous amount of patience and learning. Learning a software program in its entirety doesn't just mean understanding how to use it, it means being independent and knowing how to do something with it. Obviously, if you know how to rigg on other software and learn how to rigg on houdini, you'll be able to do some cool stuff. But I'm sure it won't be very interesting.

This is a tutorial on how to go down the rabbit hole and really learn things. Amazing video!

A special point about the CGI hand is that it is the first instance of subdivision being used on a 3D model, as Ed Catmull and crew at OSU invented subdivision and created the hand to demonstrate both subdivision and computer animation. If you recognize the name Catmull, not only was he the founder of Pixar, but every 3D software that uses polygon subdivision bears his name in the title of the algorithm.

I think this is a bit of a misleading title. Just to preface, I think it is a great video and always love seeing people like you trying to introduce to (in my opinion) the best piece of 3D software in the world. However, In one month you can be proficient with one aspect of Houdini or have a general understanding of the core concepts of Houdini, but in no way will you have actually learned “Houdini”. The first couple of months is where you spend replicating tutorials, repeating workflows until it sticks, from there you begin to experiment on your own (where you will fail… ALOT), and then around 6 to 10 months in is where you begin to have these lightbulb moments, where everything begins to click. This is not to discourage people, on the contrary I think when you manage people’s expectations, they tend to stick around for longer. 6 years ago I started Houdini with the same energy as some commenters, thinking I’d be a master after a few months. You can cover all topics in a month, but in order for learning material to sink in, there is an enormous amount of repetition required. That said, if you haven’t already, start your Houdini journey and you’ll thank yourself later. This software is Pandora’s box, you get as much out of it as you put into it.

The learning curve depends on background a lot really. For example when I was learning zbrush it was quite a quick process down to a few weeks because I was already familiar with concepts of how geometry works in renders or simulations. I haven't yet gotten into Houdini but a lot of the concepts I've seen in Houdini are things that directly translate to stuff that I do within Touchdesigner. I could confidently say I could perhaps jump into Houdini and get going down within 2 weeks, but this is expected when you're in the creative industry for many many years, it just becomes second nature. Overall awesome video, it's nice to see other peoples perspective and journeys.

i could learn this in a week bro.. wats with you? wake up

Amazing! So before learning Vex, did you have any prior programming knowledge?

This was an AMAZING video, very well said and just the perfect timing on every bit. Very proud of your progress. Make another video but for 2 months if you have the time<3

Nice video inspiring and thanks for the resources

super nice ! thank you !

amazing progress , still love to see content like this about houdini

hey cool that you found cgwiki useful! i'd just point out that i didn't make the holograms for avengers, that was a huge team effort, but in particular matt ebb did a lot of the amazing fractal work on that show, and he very patiently taught me and others the ins and outs of houdini.

it takes time and patience to learn Houdini, 1 month is too short

Fantastic m8! Ur going to really physics sim the pants off of em!

Interesting stuff m8 thanks for the breakdown

This is wicked!!! I need to see it on a bigger scale :D

do u mind to share your code ? thanks

Fuck yeeeeeee

Some magic done by the wizard, bending a snake

Yo, this looks pretty mad! Keen to see how it develops.

0:54 0:57 1:02 1:06 absolute highlights. The wave game was super fun

Holy shit, incredible progress fraz! I'm so impressed 😮🤯

nice

very useful information for someone who wants to get into unreal and doesn’t know where to start. great content !

Fav

such great team movement and sick edit :) big ups

somehow only just seeing this but man this is incredible flow/style and filmmaking
