A Road to Houdini SOP Nodes Course (Wingfox) Full Download

Houdini, after over 20-year development, has gradually become a powerful 3D software in the field related to graphics and images. The operation in the way of nodes, the flexibility of the digital asset that are cross-platform, multiple languages for production and process development, are making Houdini prominent in the field of 3D. Flexibility means it takes more time to master it. Houdini is different from other three 3D software, which requires us to learn the thinking pattern instead of memorizing the specific node networks. Therefore, the basic knowledge is very important during the learning process. But the SOP module taught in this course is the core basic module in Houdini. Other modules are made based on SOP module. It will be easier for us to learn other modules after we master the SOP module.

Do we must learn the SOP module first to learn Houdini? What about the others?

Yes, we do. SOP module is the basis of the basis. The more nodes you master, the boarder your thinking pattern will be, and the making process will be more relaxed. Another module, the VOP module, whose hundreds of nodes will be taught in the other course. These two modules are the basis. Once we learn the basic knowledge well, we can easily understand the concepts in Dynamics module, which will help us study quickly.

What higher-level skills do we need to master in the learning of Houdini?

Houdini provides us with abundant internal tools, besides the nodes with abundant functions in every modules, there are also something we need to learn throughout our whole lives, like VEX, Python, Opencl, L-system. In Houdini, you can create anything. If you can’t, you still need to learn more and practice more to be better.
