This week we talked about some courses about materials, lighting and rendering, which are similar to the properties of other 3D software, so it’s not difficult to understand. Then I learned about some of Houdini’s own shaders and rendering engine … Continue reading →

The third week is to do the destruction effect. I try to import the model I made in Maya into Houdini for special effects production. Every session is having access to new content, which really makes me feel very challenging … Continue reading →

The task of the second week is to start being access to the particle system and start some preview videos. I have been in touch with particles in Maya before, so I know some wind field, gravity and particle properties, … Continue reading →
