Looking for some Houdini resources

[Desto89]

I recently started using Houdini in my workflow, mainly for baking liquid simulations to vats but I wanna go beyond that.

Im looking for some resources that help me understand this software. I mostly look for creating and animating vfx meshes, vats, fracturing, dissolving, assembling and morphing.

I would appreciate any resources about these topics, free or not.

Here’s a few I’ve found useful:

Blogs

• CGWiki - Repository of many houdini techniques and workflows. Been around for yonks so might not be up to date.
• Houdini Official Documentation - Very useful, but not particularly beginner friendly.
• Houdini For Unreal Engine

Videos

• MK11 Blood Production - Great talk on how NetherRealm made the blood VFX in MK11 with Houdini.
• Lazy Artist’s Guide To Houdini - Another great talk on implementing Houdini to a games art workflow.
