Intro to VOPS - Houdini Beginner Tutorial

[@saif0316]

You have no idea how valuable these tutorials are! Before this I was so confused on even what VOPs was.

[@heesang1989]

Omg Thank you so much 😭 Please do more VOP tutorials 🥳 It's extremely difficult to find a tutorial explaining VOP well like your videos 👍 Most people focus on VEX.

[@voxyde]

I will single handedly wipe VEX off the face of the planet MAKE VOPS GREAT AGAIN

[@bret4033]

youre the man lol@@voxyde

[@sleepingonthecouch95]

Lol. I've just asked on Houdini group a VOP course 12 hour ago, everyone tell me to learn VEX and ignore VOP. And then you post this. What a lovely day 😂 Applied Houdini and your courses (Esecially the rocks assembly one) really convinced me to learn both deeply. Thank you sir.

[@voxyde]

All my homies use VOPS, vex is for nerds (they're kind of the same thing though, but I think VOPS is a lot more elegant)

[@ahmednasr93]

just seen your post few hours ago and was going to send you a link to this tutorial on the group.

[@shane-goudy]

Bro. You are a master at teaching. This was so helpful. Thank you!

[@voxyde]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ojdesignmotion1589]

I literally feared Houdini all my life as a 3D artist, you've made me hug it😆😆

[@jayashrip6909]

This is the best beginner friendly tutorial on VOPs one can find! 🥺Cheers mate!

[@voxyde]

Glad it helped!

[@SPCECDET]

Genuinely a part of my currently learnings I have been severely lacking in with Houdini, much appreciated

[@voxyde]

Happy to help!

[@rossiegaming9177]

my favourite 3d tutorial ever :')

[@luigiistratescu2756]

AMAZING! I come from a C++ background, I'd love to see a purely VEX tutorial. It's easier for me to think in terms of code rather than using the blueprints / nodes houdini provides, but by far ur tutorial is the most straightforward and clear way to learn things in Houdini. I'm subbed!

[@sunitjoshi3573]

Same here..and that’s also one of the reasons I like Houdini compared to other software.

[@jesjesline]

Thank you for making this. Great and in-depth Explanations.

[@ruslandad365]

VERY AMAZING TUTORIAL!!! THANKS!!!!

[@mady3d917]

bro is a freaking god, you made my day brother, it was excellent. Thank you.

[@romansmirnov467]

Wow! This is really useful! Thank you!

[@許庭偉-r3x]

30:22 Why does the lower-value, terrain get more contrast? In general, higher exponent, we will get a larger value, Isn't it?

[@voxyde]

Yea lol, no idea how the math works. I just use power to get more contrast, mostly using with Colors 🤷‍♂

[@許庭偉-r3x]

​@@voxyde Thank you for your reply. ☺ It's doesn't matter.

[@sleepingonthecouch95]

Because the ramp returns a float value of 0 -> 1 = x (like 0.5, 0.1, 0.9,....) And power function is x^exponent => exponent get smaller, the bigger the value will be. For instance, 0.5^0.5 < 0.5^0.2

[@voxyde]

@@sleepingonthecouch95 found the nerd LMAO! jk thanks for clarifying brother 💪💪

[@sleepingonthecouch95]

@@voxyde tbh I was wondering the same thing so I'm watching your tutorials with whole bunch of google tabs about math opening haha.

[@OnChainhunter]

broooooooooooo thank you for existing!!!! i spend 2 hours tryna find a vop context bcause russian utuber i watched used 16,5 ver of huodini and he just choosed a VEX builder net in parameter list of networks aahhaha i wasnt able do it in fresh 20th ver of program so spend 2 hours with looking of VOP context with burning ASSSSS

[@sridharan5172]

😂😂 Burning Asss

[@Mama-pt7lm]

Keep going you're bringing a lot of value to people

[@voxyde]

Thanks, will do!

[@flifluflofli]

I nail that actually you play with row of attribute that you modify at will :) and also there is a bit of coding related in those node ... now i understand.. you a bit deep but just deep enoughtt o make it challenging to me enought :) GReat lesson Thank you

[@3dforever717]

I always delayed the Attribute VOP training but with this "get started" tuto, it's so easy to better understand!! Thanks a lot man! 👍👍 And (for me) it's also easier than VEX code inside Wrangle node... 😅😉

[@voxyde]

Great to hear! vex is overrated!

[@federicoguillen7608]

Very well explained, man

[@voxyde]

Glad you liked it

[@wewantmoreparty]

So good make more advance vop tutorials 🤘

[@Reshavskyi]

Good topic. I hope you will create a complete full course

[@voxyde]

Yes there will be several parts! I plan to cover everything

[@hanheecho6437]

God bless you pal.

[@钒铭李]

I just tried to log in to your website to buy courses, but I didn't see the button for registering an account. There was only the button for logging in to an account. Could you tell me how to operate?

[@voxyde]

When you enroll in any paid course you will be directed to a page where you can create the account. Then you can use the login at the top to login with your newly created account :)

[@钒铭李]

@@voxyde Thx, i just fix that issue. Trying my best to learn those basic tutorials. Finally, I want to achieve more advanced effects. See you in those course discord room~

[@barbiechm08]

Is the way the tutorials are organized on your website the correct order for a beginner?

[@voxyde]

In the beginner section, yes!

[@SherifMousa3dcgSherif]

Thanks good stuff

[@voxyde]

No problem 👍

[@pavannerella7536]

Sir which is more effective fx nd VFX software between after effects nd houdini?

[@Reshavskyi]

They are completely different and used for different things and different tasks. I recommend to find introduction videos for those software and then decide what do you need.

[@pavannerella7536]

@@Reshavskyi sir I just need to which is better for special effects and visual effects . What ever fx we create in houdini can we create them in af . I m from after effects side nd very much keen to the which is more effective for jobs and all

[@Reshavskyi]

They are doing a different kinds of special effects. They can look similar but they different and used in different situation. In Houdini you will need to spend much more time to achieve a good result for complex vfx. if you know how to achieve a good result in After Effects, you are better working with it

[@voxyde]

@@pavannerella7536 Hi! Houdini is better for creating shots from the ground up. Think of a huge building collapsing with smoke etc. After effects is good if you want to integrate smaller scale FX with real live footage!

[@Reshavskyi]

@@voxyde I think it's not correct. Both soft you can use for small scale or some complex vfx. But Houdini has a good simulation system and can work completely with geometry, lighting and so on. It's more complicated product. After effects works better directly with footage. Also after effects used more in small production and Houdini very popular in big studios who works whith big cinema.

Thanks!
