Model A Doric Column in Houdini

[@pixelexus]

Thanks for your straight to the point tutorials. As a 3d artist who is new to Houdini I found them very helpful in quickly finding my way around in Houdini.

Nice tutorial, I’m looking into switching to Houdini from maya indie, and I’m really liking what I’m seeing with what Houdini can do over maya, though maya seems to still have the edge when it comes to organic character modeling and basic poly modeling, but Houdini seems to have it beat everywhere else. Ionic Columns and Corinthian columns are a lot more complex than Doric though :P

Thank for your thoughtful feedback. Houdini can be a great deal of fun and absurdly powerful once you're comfortable with it. I definitely prefer character and prop modelling in Maya / Blender. I enjoy Maya's character rigging and animation workflow too and haven't used Houdini's enough to compare. Those Ionic and Corinthian columns are definitely more complex and raise curiosity of what it would take to make in Houdini....thank you. :)
