  • 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.

    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.

Thanks a ton! Until recently I would shut Houdini very fast very frequently, but now maybe I'll it a try again! With your tutorials I can safely say, it's helping me realize "Houdini isn't scary", just as your title suggests. I just needed the right mentoring and you sir are an amazing tutor! 😍😃👏👌

    I finally came across this tutorial series and I am very relieved in having found it: great work. It stands out from many other tutorial series on TH-cam, which are very often hard to follow not necessarily becuase of the actual content, but rather how it is presented and especially how it is spoken. Your tutorial is very concise in speech. Also, one thing which is allways very distracting in many ohter tutorials is the habit of the tutors to constantly wiggle around in a hectic many with the mouse indicator around the UI. So thank you very much and have a good day!

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!!.
