Is Houdini 3D hard to learn?
For anyone familiar with SideFX’s Houdini, it can be quite a loaded question...
There’s no doubt that it is one of the most robust software for digital content creation out there, but to better understand this question, we have to dig deeper into “What is Houdini?”, and “What are you using it for?”.

Houdini is my best discovery of the past few years. The node system gives you so much potential it deserves the hair you’ll lose from learning it
Been learning Houdini for 5 months now and although it does have a tough learning curve you can't help but see the massive potential it has as you learn. This is what really keeps me coming back.
I'm studying Houdini for a few weeks. It's a love-hate relationship. We need more Houdini videos, please!!
I am a 3D student and have been learning the major 3d softwares for the past 2 years. In the most recent months, I have found Houdini is a very solid and organised software. YES! It is a very difficult software to pick up but once you understand a few things, sky is the limit. Although it is tough at the beginning but I wont give up. Good luck to people who are learning Houdini out there.
Houdini has a very steep learning curve .... i ported over from XSI to Houdini about 5 years ago and Houdini is vast .... but it is a mighty software and i highly recommend learning it. I have been a 3D artist in london soho for 32 years .... i started in 1989. VEX is actually quite easy to learn once you get your head around it ... and there is plenty of tutorials on you tube to learn from.
I can barely use illustrator let alone this massive beast. Respect to you guys who can make stuff with it.
at the moment I am learning houdini and it is super rewarding to learn this software! Personally I find it very fun to make HDA's and use them for all kinds of funky cool stuff in engines.
Houdini is insane ! Learning it for 3 weeks now 😅 it feels very weird compered to maya, blender and Cinema4D but its soooo rewarding to learn. The potential is limtitless.
Short answer: yes
Great overview! I have been using Houdini all day everyday since 2013, and I still think it is a wonder, and I know there are still huge areas of it that I don't know yet.
Great video! You made some great points here.
Good video! Only thing is during your explanation of sops, pops, dops etc, it would be really helpful to have a list of them and their description on the side - generally an easier visualisation of what you are talking about. That part flew completely over my head.
I made my first HDA a few days ago and was excited to save it for future use. I needed a thing that would control a looped animation's playback rate based on the speed particles were traveling. Obviously can't connect the sim time directly to a multiplier when the speed changes, so I created a total distance traveled accumulator that just adds up the positional difference of each frame and creates and attribute for that.
Would love to see a Houdini to Unreal environment tutorial, seems like a great workflow and once you have that locked in I bet Houdini may become more accessible/less intimidating
Houdini + unreal = killer combination for creating epic environments. Really love this software.
Started my Houdini journey last year, got so overwhelmed that I gave up after a few months...went back to blender and zbrush until I kept seeing amazing houdini work from other artists and therefor decided to give Houdini another shot but this time, from the very basics. fast forward to today and I honestly can't believe I was every able to work without it. Houdini is one of those tools that the more you dig in, the more expansive your creative eye becomes. You begin to form connections between other 3rd party software that you were previously oblivious to. Houdini doesn't take anything for granted, it requires you to understand the very basics and thanks to that architecture, the growth you experience as a 3D artist is unmatched by any other 3D software.
The best beginner's tutorials I found are the ones by hipflask, the interface is amazing once you get your head around it, and there is no doubt that this is an extremely powerful tool, and 19 just makes it better! 😎😎😎
I'm learning Houdini since second half November and so far it's still a tough experience, but it is definitely an enrichment to my workflow allowing me to make scenes even cooler with rain and more dynamic fog for example.
I need to learn Houdini now.
