houdini tutorial for FX

What you'll learn
You will have solid knowledge on how to use Houdini
In this course, you'll learn how to use Houdini, a 3D software, even if you're a complete beginner. We'll cover everything from the basics, like how to start Ho
Creating procedural FX with Houdini
Creating Smoke and Fire Simulations with Houdini
Creating Particle Simulations in Houdini

Requirements
No previous houdini knowledge necessary
No programming knowledge ( i will teach vex and programming from scratch zero level )
basic concept of any 3d software

Description
Learning Houdini can be tough, and many people give up within a couple of months because it feels complex and time-consuming.The main reason is they dont know the right track and right path to learn houdini.you cant start learning houdini in a random manner like other software. You need a specific correct right path to learn. When people start with learning Houdini, most people expect tutorials to create big, Hollywood-style scenes with incredible detail and breathtaking results from the day 1. But I don't focus on these Hollywood-level tutorials. They don't teach you the important stuff; instead, they make you spend more time doing things rather than understanding the core concepts. Rather than teaching houdini they are just advertising themselves and making you feel even harder to learn houdini. In the end with those kind of tutorial you will become frasturated, hopeless and depressed. Always start learning houdini from basic core concept.Houdini works differently from 3ds Max, Maya, Blender, or Cinema 4D. No matter how experienced you are with those and how much years you have experience in those 3d software, it doesn't matter in Houdini because you have to start from zero level .This houdini is more like a backend software .Think of Houdini as the 'backstage' software. You have to build most things yourself because there aren't always ready-made buttons or menus for what you want to do. Other 3d software do have ready made button for specific task but this doesnt apply to houdini but the fantastic thing is that Houdini allows you to do this using scripting with Wrangle and Python. For instance, there might not be an easy menu option to make an object gradually disappear over time. In Houdini, you need to figure out a different way.To learn Houdini, you need to change your mindset. Instead of focusing on the 'front' like in other 3D software, you need to think more like Houdini, focusing on the 'back.'One big reason people give up on learning Houdini is that they don't have the right path to follow. You can't expect to start creating complex effects like candles, explosions, fireworks, particles, rain, or water right away. In other 3D software, you might create something impressive within a week of learning. But in Houdini, it's different. Even after a month of learning, you're likely just beginning to understand how Houdini works, let alone creating a full FX showreel.So, in other 3D software, you can start making simple simulations within a week, but in Houdini, after a week of learning, you'll mostly be grasping the workflow and procedural aspects. That's the reality."So i have made the houdini learning path step by step guide with the correct right track to learn houdini from basic level to become FX artist .
