Heres the full model update. I am happy that I could come up with this and also it feels good to learn so many things in Houdini. Now to animation!

The Challenge

I am complete newbie on Houdini at this point although I did a little of it back in 2002 but its all gone now. I am trying to make that bridge. I still need to learn a couple of things before I can start laying that down. Lets see how it comes. I am really excited if I can come about something like that.

Of course, I will be entering the Apprentice Challenge if I can ever create that one. :)

I had tried this a little while ago and wanted to post it. Will be doing more of it. But for now my ATI 1950 GFX card is acting weird on Houdini and my machine is also going insane. Few functions aren't working properly. May need a reformat. Lets see...

Sharing Houdini learning experiences

I thought it would be great to share my experiences while learning one of the best 3D applications, Houdini. I have been looking at tutorials from SideFX and 3DBuzz and various other sources. Houdini looks promising and it would be nice to become good at it.
