VEX Isn't Scary - Part 1: Basics

Welcome to 'VEX Isn't Scary'! This is a continuation of the 'Houdini Isn't Scary' series and covers how to code in Houdini and use that code to drive your 3D work. This was only available on Patreon but was brought onto the public domain by SideFX. Now, it is available here on our channel so that you can easily access it.
In part 1, we go over the basics. Gain a broad overview of what VEX is, how it works and the terminology that is necessary to understand it. Learn some basic coding using the Attribute Wrangle node then tackle variables and initialization as well as the necessary conventions that are used in VEX.
Hope you enjoy!

People are not talking enough about how good these two beginner series are for people starting. When I began with Houdini I was struggling to find tutorials that would help me understand all theses concepts but the 'beginner' tutorials would go ahead without explaining any of this (or atleast in this detail) and if I had known of these Nine Between playlists at the time it would have made things much easier. This needs to be publicised more in the community.

[@huanluo8446]

You said what I want to say as well, 100% agree with you, I am totally new to Houdini and this is so easy to understand, the best beginner tutorials ever. So professional. Thanks so much for the whole team's afford.

[@Ra00Da]

On your PATREON do you have a serie for VOPs ?

[@ObscureHedgehog]

13:51 Rap album when? 🔥🔥🔥

[@Adenomamusic]

where are you man?

[@muhammaddilshad2672]

If i learn houdini without vex is it possible? I mean can i create all things by houdini without vex?

[@NineBetween]

Hey Muhammad, yeah, you can definitely use Houdini well without VEX. There's a lot of professionals who don't use VEX. The alternative is VOPs. It's a visual way of scripting. You can search for VOPs tutorials. There's a VEX vs VOPs tutorial on our channel if you wanna check it out.

[@jasonmorgenshield8122]

Does somebody of you know how python and VEX differ in houdini? Can i use python always instead of VEX?

[@Staglaitor]

Some experts say that visual programming is the future (nodes) because visually you can understand (cover) a more complex algorithm. Question to the author of the video: Can I use visual scripting in houdini without VEX and other obsolete programming methods at all or is houdini still dependent on old technologies and visual sciping is not yet fully developed and has limitations?

[@NineBetween]

Hi, Houdini has an entire toolset for visual scripting. They are known as VOPs and can do everything that code can do. Although, I disagree that programming is obsolete, as visual scripting is just a wrapper for coding when they're truly one in the same. The difference is simply a matter of preference in houdini.

[@Staglaitor]

@@NineBetween Thanks for your reply From the physiological and cognitive point of view, graphic information is perceived faster than alphabetic verbal information. It is also necessary to add sound information to visual information

[@peterkgeorge8559]

can we use python instead of VEX

[@brucewayne243]

I also want to know

[@kewa_design]

Nope :/

[@alighasemi2237]

You are a dota2 player xD

[@user-ml3sb7fy6w]

VEX is scary.

[@learner6010]

Nope it isn't !

[@otoS97]

Houdini is very forgettable, 3D softwares are my hobbies and I loved Houdini, But once I've stopped and tried to continue. I needed to rewatch everything.

[@Nintendo122333]

I think it really depends on how much you actually practised. For example, you just said it was a hobby, so maybe you didn't use it as much as you think was needed to remember it. It's the same with any software, really.
