In this tutorial we're looking at For-Loops in order to create a repeating geometric pattern that resembles an abstract snowflake.

Longtime C4D user finally making the dive to learning Houdini properly. I can't thank you enough for these tutorials.. they are great!

[@flashgiz1]

I missed these tutorials where Moritz is breathing between words ;) so much more natural and easier to follow. thanks!

[@karolinasereikaite8233]

Thank you so much! This is so fun and much simpler than I thought thanks to you! And honestly great tip for creating my own library in one scene file or so. Thank you!

[@user-wp5xh8rs3o]

Thank you very much, dear teacher! A very useful and beautiful lesson! On this basis, I managed to build many different fractal objects and use them in my work. That's great!

[@Xtronoid]

Coolest example to explain a for loop in this case haha! Houdini is so mcgaiver!

[@spyral00]

amazing stuff!! recently started playing with Houdini, it's been a revelation so far. It's exactly the software I wanted ! Endless possibilities

[@Entagma]

Hi Patrick, indeed the first months in Houdini are quite an exciting mixture of new revelations, frustration, and being confused. Quite exciting actually 😁 We wish you all the best (and as little frustration as possible) on your journey! Cheers, Mo

[@IsaacOster]

Great tutorial, thank you!

[@kristreiber4233]

Awesome tutorial! How did you tie the iteration number to the polywire radius? I can't seem to make it work using the same approach as the transform node.

[@rickvdvulkaan]

Hello there! Great tutorial, really helpful in my current getting-into-houdini-phase. Just one quick question out of curiosity (no criticism, just because i want to know everything!) . When you linked the iterations to the transform, why all the ''hassle'' of creating the meta-node, and referring to the iteration detail-attribute by typing the path, instead of just copy/paste relative reference from the iteration value itself?

[@CarlWicker]

thank you x

[@babakjamcg]

thank you so much , im looking forward to give this loop a growth effect any tips?

[@Sedokun]

8:32 Is it only merges it for output once? Cause if it merges them every loop, it uses the exact same data it used before again.

[@danacarvey]

How would I go about piping a unique bit of geo into the top of the tree? I have an obj I'd like to have as the looped geometry. Any help much apreciated!

[@benbobzien4517]

how could you animate this growing?

[@jamesconkle9158]

How would I make each iteration's poly wire size decrease as the iterations go up? For now I brute forced it by duplicating and merging nodes but I'm sure there's code that could do such things.

[@Entagma]

Hi James, have a look at the provided scene file - it's set up in there :) Cheers, Mo

[@jamesconkle9158]

@@Entagma Ah I see the function - Wouldn't have thought of that but maybe I should take a math course! You and your style are so inspirational :) Thankyou

What's the better way to make your own library of tools in Houdini?

[@seanrobertson7122]

Check out "digital assets", the way to save your nodes/networks as reusable parts

[@BUONCO]

my copy node only has one input. what am i doing wrong

[@Entagma]

Use the copytopoints node instead of the copy node. Cheers, Mo

[@CaptainChubbyDuck]

I have no node called only copy, and the meta import doesnt show me any values...What am I missing?

[@ThEmArIS1]

Check out the project file linked below the video. I think he made some improvements for newer Houdini versions, which aren't explained in the video.

[@ThEmArIS1]

PS: If you want to follow along the vid, copy stamp looks like it does same as only copy, don't know about the meta thing tho

[@ThEmArIS1]

have you clicked on the detail icon next to the "Group"search field?
