Edit: The new series is up! Check out Part 1 here: th-cam.com/video/J96j3k3rPUU/w-d-xo.html Hey!

If you're interested, go ahead and subscribe to stay up to date with our new content. Also, if you found this useful, it would be awesome if you'd considering joining as a member. Thanks!
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
@@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
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 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.
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!
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.
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!
@@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.
Beginner Unity game dev here, I hated blender and made the move to Houdini and this tutorial is absolutely amazing! tysm for making this easier for me :D
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!
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 TH-cam, and came across your video. This is the best tutorial for Houdini out there! Please do more!!!!!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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'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!
You have absolutely the best learning tutorials than everyone else in Houdini. Their is a distinct difference in ho you make videos to your intuitive teaching. Thanks!
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.
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!
Excellent tuition level thanks. I have been watching afew videos and watched these several months ago. I find now coming back these are really well structured and really help to reconfirm what's important when first learning Houdini. Thanks. I know that's what you were aiming for...
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.
I saw many tutorials and no one has ever explained something as good as you did, encouraging the continuation of the course at the same time. Thank you!
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 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
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😁
This is type of tutorial I needed! I know other modeling softwares and now getting into Houdini but didn't want to go through the modeling concepts stuff. Thanks for posting!
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!
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
I am after blender I think with good level, I cannot wait for physic and simulation. Thank you for introducing. You have like from me and I am going to part 2 :D!!!
Thank you. Wanted to check how Houdini is different from say.. Blender or Maya. This tutorial helped me to understand most mayor difference. It's easy to follow and well done. Thnx.
This is as clear and concise as you can get. It is easy to be put off and most Houdini stuff on net assumes too much or tells you too much too early. Even this when I first viewed it seemed a tad confusing, but a second viewing after struggling with the software for a bit proved very helpful. Given the nature of Houdini, it's as good as you will get and the tone is excellent -patient explanation not an attempt to show off the presenter's skill or talent.
You're the best, man! I payed for a LinkedIn Learning course and it completely missed some of these basics that make using Houdini so much easier. Thank you!
By far the best Houdini tutorials series for the beginners. I like how your tutorials are both explained precisely and quite easily for anyone to understand as well as covers a simple project along the way giving a practical approach to the whole learning process. 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! 😍😃👏👌
some people here say, they prefer Blender but of what I've tried so far, I must say, the node tool is absolutely outstanding and much more elegant to use.

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?

I love how you talking in the beginning is almost the exact length to open up houdini.
Excellent introduction to Houdini. You remind me of Alex from the Astrum YT channel, same professional pace and flow.

Thank GOD finally that explains the basics in plain english. You rock man
Finally someone is willing to share the basics, thank you very much
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!
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!

Finally, a good video tutorial with a pleasant voice and clear narration. Thank you! I've subscribed!
It's 2022 and this tutorial is definetly useful. I'm about to go through the entire series.
the layout just makes sense - unlike clunky geometry nodes in blender. Only nitpick is that y is up
Excellent tuition level thanks. I have been watching afew videos and watched these several months ago. I find now coming back these are really well structured and really help to reconfirm what's important when first learning Houdini. Thanks. I know that's what you were aiming for...
