SideFX Houdini Great Escape

1_ Interface and philosophy of work:
We will see one of the most powerful and flexible interfaces, concepts essential to know. We will also see what is the philosophy behind Houdini to understand issues and tools.
2_ Creating Objects:
Create our first objects in Houdini, from geometry to lights, cameras, etc..
We will learn to get around a basic scene.
3_ Modeling:
Enter the world of modeling in Houdini procedural. We will focus on polygon modeling because it is the most potent and used within this tool.
4_ Basic Animation:
Introduction to Houdini animation elements.
Presentation of the curve editor
5_ Texturing and Shading:
We will see some of the tools offers Houdini to create and edit texture coordinates in our objects.
We also study the basic shaders Houdini and has its most powerful: the creation of these nodes by using graphical programming.
6_ Lighting:
Houdini is one of the most powerful tools to illuminate the time. Learn to link lighting, use the IPR to take quick view of our lighting and use the shots to save the different values of the parameters of each type of lighting that we tested.
6_ Render:
Mantra renderer is a native of Houdini. In many respects is very similar to RenderMan so much to learn from us is valid for Mantra RenderMan.
Look how Mantra is integrated into the rest of the toolkit and how we can configure our renders to optimize in terms of speed, quality, etc ...
