Class Description:
In this fundamentals course, you will learn all about SOPs (surface operators) to create a fully procedural chandelier in Houdini. You will learn essential sops with the latest version of Houdini including both curve and poly-based geometry creation. Learning SOPs are necessary for creating good dynamics later on. You will learn the anatomy of attributes, which is vital and will help you understand all future tutorials. You will learn a wide array of tools and concepts such as using different types of noise, copying, and instancing, working with for-loops, and a basic intro to both VEX and VOPS.
Learning Outcomes:
Students that are new to Houdini will leave with more confidence as well as a deeper understanding of attributes and geometry creation tools and how they are used to create a procedural system.
