Welcome to Houdini Is Hip! This is part 5 of the series. In this series, we are going to be looking at how to use Houdini to create incredible 3D graphics and effects. Not only will we be looking at full CG applications for it, but also at how we can use Houdini for adding VFX elements to live action plates.
In this part, we are looking at how to render inside of Houdini using its native renderer - Karma, using Solaris for our scene assembly. We are also looking at how to work with live action footage.

I'm going to say again what one guy said in some previous videos. These tutorials feel like it's illegal to enjoy them. OMG the quality and content, everything is perfect. I am learning so much with you, Thanks!!!!

Wow... From the hundreds of tutorials I've seen this year about VFX/3D, this series is mind-blowing. Amazing didactics, well paced and comprehensive. Thanks for making it available for free and taking the time off course to create it!

You are incredible talanted mantor, you can explain difficult things in a simple words, I mean it. I know what I'm talking about, I tried to learn houdini several times. Thank you for your tutorials, it's literaly amazing! Please don't stop!

These tutorials are so great! I would love to see an advanced shading tutorial. Or further exploration of Houdini labs stuff!

Every time you switch to the rendered donut, you laugh a little. That's because it looks like a turd, isn't it? 😂

I've been using Houdini for about 3.5 years now and this may be the most helpful and insightful video that i've seen yet. So much covered here that everyone should get familiar with before diving into simulations and complex tutorials. I feel that way about all of your Houdini is Hip videos. Thank you!

I've been through a lot of courses and you find worse material for beginner Houdini for hundreds of dollars than this. This is not only free, but also so top tier that it is mind-blowing. A natural instructor and teacher which makes Houdini a bit easier to understand. Thank you for the series

isnt it possible to see shadows in karma render view , ref 29:24 ? or at least is there any way to render object with shadow ( combined ) directly inside houdini ?

@vladzakharov8619 2 ай бұрын

When I look through Karma viewport, the render is ok but when I switch into Solaris stage with rendered image at Sceneimport node, the image looks blurried and object is out of focus. What might cause this, anyone please?

One thing, mentor moieen syeed, I can do this on nukex too with camera tracker also i can see you are doin here "adding object", could please explain what is the difference between these two? This is making me confuse so much! in recent project in houdini foundation of helicopter explosion i see the mentor girl is also adding object in the scene with this method! then what's the usage of nuke? why people don't just use hud for adding object?

Hey what kind of laptop would you recommend for houdini especially doing fluid sims

@NineBetween Жыл бұрын

Hey! Laptops are generally not going to be powerful enough for large-scale simulations unless you get a high-end laptop. If possible, a PC will serve you a lot better. Most artists avoid using laptops for simulations. However, if you really want to go for a laptop, I would say that you should prioritize a decent CPU, RAM and storage. Gaming laptops are a decent option but are often overpriced. Otherwise, the best option IMO would be a workstation laptop like the MSI WE76, but honestly, at that price, I'd rather look into a desktop PC which can be controlled remotely through a much cheaper laptop. However, if you are only planning on doing small to medium simulation and using the laptop for other Houdini work, you can get away with something with around 32GB of RAM, an i5 CPU or better, 1TB SSD. I hope that helps!

The ***Best*** explanation about USD, (specially inside Houdini) that I've never seen on internet ! ....very clear, very *LOGIC*, finally very comprehensive so very useful , even for a french guy ! (sorry for my too bad english). ...finally !!! ..not this kind of auto-satisfied guru's conversations like this """"'(Û ¥¶½@Ýß)*.¬)""" , that you leave after 10%..feeling even dumber than before...(I even suspect them to not understand themselves the *LOGIC* of what they are trying to explain...). Thanks , you are a -real professor-. ..i feel really smarter now (I mean, about USD... ;O)); its a pleisure to listen you, you take time to explain the underground LOGIC of all things. NB: and also thank you for not adding background "music"...... ;O)
