Houdini Modeler 2023 for beginners

I've put this beginner tutorial together for other Modelers new to Houdini and coming from more standard direct modeling software. I thought this might help show how Houdini Modeler has simplified the process of more direct modeling inside a procedural system.

Good intro - modeller really makes modelling in Houdini so much better : ) Houdini really draws you in. It has its frustrations, of course, but once you understand 'the Houdini way' it very hard to take any other way : )

Looking at your content. Nice to see you're a 3dcoat user as well. Anyway waiting for more content on both.

[@regiszapp8758]

Very handy. Btw have you tried Soft Boolean as well?

[@industrytuts5272]

@regiszapp8758 Thanks for the comment, also yes I have used and purchased Soft Boolean. I don't use Booleans very often, but maybe I'll make a video of it after the project I'm working on wraps up. 👍

@@industrytuts5272 Sounds great, thank you

[@sikliztailbunch]

Very helpful video. But where do I get this addon/plugin from?

[@industrytuts5272]

You can purchase Houdini Modeler from Gumroad.

Super solid video! Also if you hold A and middle mouse click edges, you can do a loop selection

Thanks, I didn't know that. I'll give it a try 🙂👍

Yeah, no way in hell I'm touching Houdini lol Maya (and maybe 3ds Max and Blender) for the win

[@industrytuts5272]

Hahhaa. That's cool. You have to be comfortable with the tools you use, so I respect that! I still love modeling in Maya too.

@@industrytuts5272 it's cuz Houdini looks like some alien tech lol too intimidating

[@industrytuts5272]

I used to think so too. I just took the dive and started playing around with it, and then I realized I didn't have to go too deep into the software like Fx artists do, so even staying fairly high level, I found I could do so much more in it. But to be fair, it did take some getting used to. I'm having a blast with it now though.

@@industrytuts5272 ok, that's good to hear lol might give Houdini a chance someday but by now I'm focusing on Maya and then UE5 cuz I wanna develop games
