[VEX for Algorithmic Design] E09 _ Function

This is a new series I've started explaining the basics of VEX for algorithmic design / procedural modeling which I'm using on daily basis.
In this 9th episode, I'm explaining what and how to use functions in VEX. You have already used some of the built-in functions but I'm explaining what exactly they are and how you can create your own function in this video.
I've also started a Patreon, it would be great if I could get your support to continue creating tutorial contents.
00:00:00 Intro / What is function?
00:00:56 Function types
00:04:09 Built-in functions overview
00:05:22 Void function
00:16:59 Return function
00:20:50 Exercise - nearpoint 1
00:31:36 Exercise - nearpoint 2
00:41:13 Exercise - intersect
00:54:54 User-defined void function
01:07:08 User-defined return function
01:18:17 Declare output parameter
01:22:32 Import preinstalled functions
01:34:04 Import user-defined functions

This channel is much better than Netflix!! I love him!!

[@AncienRegimeStudios]

I love this series, and in particular I love the way that Junichiro patiently explains each detail of the workings of VEX. He never assumes you know anything. VEX (and C or C++) are not easy to learn. This is as good a tutorial on them as you'll find anywhere.

Dear Sensei Junichiro Horikawa, on my way to have a deeper understanding of Houdini, i watch step by step your lessons of this serie. They are very instructives and so patiently well explained. I would like to thank you for providing this high quality content to all of us for free, this helps alot. どうもありがとうございます

[@absolud]

As an additional note to this chapter, if one is using custom packages like I am which points to my external custom Houdini folder for example , creating a vex/include folder structure there also allows for the #include "spiral.h" notation . I'm aware that this might be out of the scope for this chapter. but i thought that it might be nice to know when users are organizing code this way as well. 💗Great series of video's Junichiro.

Thank you!!!!! Will watch with pleasure.You are one of the best teacher and i love your videos.

[@guitoma109]

Thanks Junichiro!!! Excelent hints at the end with the Import user-defined functions. See you in the next JuniFlix series E10.

[@HoudinifxAlfredosanmartin]

Junichiro, I am writing to you from Uruguay thanking you : ) gracias !

[@bomhaa]

Your video are amazing! Thanks so much Junichiro, from South Africa

堀川さんフーリエ変換は出来ますか？フーリエ変換で温泉の温度を周波数で微細に階層的に計測するとかは？（これフーリエ変換で出来るのかな？？・笑）
