Some others: - Nine Between - Rohan Dalvi (he posts smaller tutorials for free. larger tutorials on his website are still premium) - Doxia Studio - Break Your Crayons - David Kahl VFX - Adrien Lambert
Thanks a lot, that's the video that made me actually learn Houdini. Before this, I had the feeling of not understanding what I was doing when following tutorials
Nine Between has the best didactics ever. The main problem of people who try to create a tutorial is not giving a base to people learn. I've downloaded many tutorials described as "introduction or basics" to Houdini which they start speaking about VEX just for copy or deform basic geometries. That's why is hard to learn Houdini. People who work with Houdini know a lot in the same way they don't know how to teach.
You're missing JohnKunz! It's a bit more advanced but really in depth and a really nice guy to listen to. Really recommend it. He also has a discord and streams on twitch.
Thank you for these suggestions :) I'm on the fence for quite a while to jump to Houdini and inspecting these channels might help me to encourage myself more. It just seems so overwhelming despite that I have quite thorough experience with another node-driven application (Terragen). Also thanks to other people here with additional suggestions, much appreciated!
i don't know why the steven knippin channel is in the list, he's top notch VFX tutor, by far he's best at pedagogic skills, unbeatable in that area, it's like he's in your head, he knows what you don't understand and try simplify as best as possible to make those complex concepts understandable to most, but he's not a YT channel(his YT channel is an ad to his paid tutorials), the top guy for me is by far Junichiro Horikawa, he's fulfilling greatly 2 conditions for a learning YT channel, he's publishing regular content, and 2) quality and original content, stuff that you find there you can't find it anywhere(one of the first to cover KineFX ... for example) Houdini does not have the tutorials that it's deserves it needs books huge volumes .. that software is cavern of gems ..
Completely surprised you didn’t mention “Indie Pixel.” I wouldn’t still be using Houdini if it weren’t for Kenny Lammers. His free course on Udemy for building a spaceship is pretty old, but still the one of the best places for a noob to start.
I think Rohan is a great guy and he's provided immense help to the community. The reason why I decided not to include him are two -- One he is very well known, perhaps the most known so I figured that most users knew of his tutorials already. Secondly is that he tends on getting very technical very quickly in his tutorials, and has a propensity of using VEX in a lot of his projects and I was looking for sources which relied on nodal workflows primarily instead of heavy VEX use. By that standard, one could argue that I also shouldn't have included Entagma, and they would be right. I was very conflicted about including Entagma due to their very technical. and. very heavy VEX based tutorials, but upon looking at some of the more recent tutorials, I felt that they are trending toward simpler techniques and less VEX as of lately, so I opted to add them back in. But keep in mind that either way, the list is just my personal favorite choices, and it's far from exhaustive.
00:00 No and Did you ask for permission? to upload on youtube? the sence's your showing is some of video that someone els made this can be a problem if you haven't asked for permission of the people who own it because hey it's 2020
1. you said he didn't ask for permission. how do you know? 2. permission to make them more popular? so what about fair use (ta make them more popular)? can you explain? you are stuck on an idea. please read up on fair use policy
