Hello all!

I’m a UX Product Designer that’s decided to learn Houdini for the first time. My goal is to hopefully be able to find that intersection between UX Product Design and how Houdini can help with that for future concepts.

My question is: What would be the most all inclusive tutorial series out there that would be both friendly (semi-new here), holistic and give an idea for future growth and experimentation?

FYI. I’ve watched many tutorials through the years, so I understand how Houdini works. What I don’t have is the experience to align this knowledge and make it stick via repetition.

It's hard to find a single tutorial that has all the things you want but you can look through the list of tutorials here and watch the ones you are interested to get some ideas. Something that's seemingly completely unrelated might be of interest in your field:

Hi,

Unless they are code based nodes or VOP based nodes (POPVOP, POP Attract, etc) where you can view the generated VEX code, you have to make educated guesses.

You can right click on the VOP node i.e. POP Attract node -> VEX/VOP Options -> View VEX Code...

You just have to break it down and implement it in the best possible way.

You can start by taking the axis direction and origin to align the geometry to a specific direction like +X, and then using divisions, start/end angles, revolve type, start creating the points and then the faces.

I understand the principle but How do I "revolve"? in vex. I can send my shape into input 0 and info from the other vex with all the sizes and angles into input 1 etc... But can Someone give me that one line of code to actually do the revolve as I can't find any docs on doing it

It's not a single line of code. You have to implement the entire logic in VEX. There is no shortcut

Maybe you are thinking of node verbs? There is no verb for revolve as it's an HDA.
