Learning Houdini...No, really... learning Houdini Feb. 3, 2005, 8:30 p.m.
Just started learning myself the other day with the 3dbuzz VTM's and some help from the SESI vids. The online help in version 7 has also proved a bit useful so far. I think it was the buzz vids that got me the furthest though. I'm also focusing specifically on modeling and character rigging tasks for now to keep it simple. I do that stuff for a living using other packages and I guess that helps a bit too.
I gotta say though… this program is quite amazing. I'm very surprised at what it offers, and very excited to learn more. It doesn't seem nearly as difficult as I first perceived it to be. The UI itself is wonderful and geared very much towards speeding up your workflow.
Honestly though scott, I did give houdini a go awhile back, around version 5 or so I think and felt completely lost. This time though… something just clicked. I don't think I've enjoyed learning a program this much in quite awhile.
All I can say is hang in there and if you haven't tried the vtms at 3dbuzz.com maybe give them a shot. Buzz takes you through the app right from the ground up, assuming you know nothing about it.
