Hi there,

my goal is to (intuitively?) understand and use matrix transformations in houdini. So I suppose I need some basics and a kind of a cookbook for common tasks in houdini.

Is there any kind of introduction you recommend? Back in school I had no classes in matrix math at all and I could use a hint where to start.

there are video tutorials about that

• free, simple, from a very good instructor https://youtu.be/1Dsld-W2zk0 [youtu.be]

To add to the very helpful list above, one I recently came across that I thought was short and practical:
