Welcome to Howdini101 – Are you ready to master the fundamentals of Houdini?

This is by far the most extensive course I have ever produced, and it contains close to 20 hours of fundamental knowledge that will jumpstart your journey into Houdini. We will start at the absolute basics and slowly work our way up until we craft this amazing underwater scene, as seen here.

This course is different in many ways. Where a lot of intro courses will show you how some essential tools work, we will start learning the underlying logic of Houdini and apply that knowledge to creating a production-quality shot the same way you would during an actual VFX production.

Another difference with this course is that we won’t cover any simulation tools. You might ask… why? Because Houdini is known for its simulation.

Problem is… Many beginners make the mistake of jumping straight into dynamics without understanding the core concepts first. The goal of this course was to show you can do fantastic stuff without even touching the simulation tool by mastering the fundamentals. Nothing in the demo underwater shot you saw was simulated; everything was done with procedural animation and generation. When you have mastered those fundamentals, simulating will be easy! You will be in a much better spot to watch any other Houdini tutorial as you will fundamentally understand what is happening—not just follow instructions.

This course is suitable for absolute beginners, and no previous Houdini experience is required, making it the ideal course for beginners. Novice 3D artists can even follow it with little general 3D experience. But don’t worry, over the 20 hours, we will slowly ramp up to a more advanced level, making this a much watch even for more experienced 3D artists.

Houdini version: 18.0 (but at least 17.5)
The basics of the course (up until shading) are doable in Houdini’s apprentice. The shading will be done in Redshift, and apprentice doesn’t support the redshift demo. You could follow along with Mantra (a mantra introduction is included, but the shading itself is done in redshift)
Will use redshift for rendering (you can use the demo or another render if you prefer)
Fusion will be used for compositing
