Intro to Houdini 3D

这门课程是为那些对CG有很好理解并且对全面了解Houdini以及如何利用其程序建模工具来创建3D资产、环境、着色和使用Mantra进行渲染感兴趣的人设计的。我们将创建大量资产，每个资产我们都会学习如何在Houdini中使用特定节点以及如何进行程序建模复杂几何体。我们将从分析和学习哥特式建筑开始，看看我们如何构建自己的解决方案来创建这种建筑中使用的标志性窗户、拱门和柱子，然后调整和组装各种资产以创建模块化块，一旦组装在一起，将在Houdini中创建一个非常复杂的程序环境。然后，我们将学习如何为主要资产程序创建UV。着色大部分创建的资产并开始照明和渲染我们的环境。到第5周结束时，学生应该对Houdini的工作原理有很深的理解，并且能够创建一个完整的环境。REBELWAY – Introduction To Houdini For 3D Artists 免责声明：这个课程包含了更多信息，每周的安排只是亮点。作业和每周的讲座非常严格，对于新手Houdini来说可能具有挑战性。要求学生在建模、着色和照明方面具有很好的CG背景，以便能够跟上。 课程时长：20小时 1920X1080 mp4 语言：英语 含课程文件 作者：Saber Jlassi & Urban Bradesko

This course is designed for people who have a good understanding of CG and interested in gaining a full understanding of houdini and how to utilise it’s procedural modeling tools to create 3d assets, create environment, shade and render using mantra as well as learn how to composite using Houdini COPs.

We will be creating a vast number of assets with each we learn how to use certain nodes in houdini and how to procedurally model complex geometry.

We will start by analysis and learn about Gothic architecture and see how we can build our own solution to create the iconic windows, arches and pillar used in this architecture, we will then tweak and assemble various asset to create Modular blocks that once put together will create a very complex procedural environment in Houdini.

We will then learn how to procedurally create uvs for the main assets.

Shade the majority of the asset created and start lighting and rendering our environment.

By the end of the 5th week the student should acquire a very deep understanding of how Houdini works and be able to have a fully fledged environment created.

Disclaimer:

This workshop contains lot more information and the weekly breakdown is just the highlights.

Assignments and weekly lecture are very demanding and can be challenging to new Houdini comers.

It is required that the student have a very good CG background in modeling, shading and lighting to be able to follow along.
