Houdini 2020! We’ve seen it pop up often enough on our social media timelines. And to help you transition to this amazing tool, we’re creating these five minute(ish) tutorials to help you quickly grasp the principles of what working in Houdini is like.


In this first video we’re talking about the underlying structure of contexts that make up Houdini. It is in many ways similar to an operating system where individual apps for individual tasks are strung together.

Still thinks “Space: 1999” is the coolest thing that ever happened on german TV. Be it pixels, hardware, code or cameras – if it’s interesting, Moritz is gonna take it apart. And sometimes even reassemble it. In his spare time he likes to dabble with code and create generative artwork. He claims his early exposure to QBasic is no help at all when working in Houdini, Cinema 4D, Processing or Arduino. But it might have been what started his fascination for the boundaries of code and art. When not wreaking havoc to any intriguing devices around him, he works as a freelance Art Director / Technical Director.

    Very cool. I am 7 years in Cinema 4D, but I am a visual artist for Video Mapping, here in Brazil .. and I try to integrate 4D cinema and Houdini ... But at the moment I am concerned with understanding the workflow and the procedural node system. Thank you for providing the studies and opening the program in an educational way.

    Looks like I was blocked on Entagma YouTube channel, maybe they didn't like my recent criticism of Blender recently, they seem to push blender a lot as of late, I was wondering if I was the only one who suffered the wrath of these guys.

    As for this series, it is a bit technical at time, but I found it very useful the first time I watched it, so thanks for that!

      Heyhey,

      as far as I'm aware we didn't block people on YouTube since we're there. The only comments we regularly flag are the obvious bots that pop up on YouTube. Please let me know which comment(s) you're referring to and I'll try and check what happened.

      Cheers, Mo
