Houdini: You're learning it wrong (no really this time) | Matt Estela | SIGGRAPH Asia 2019

In Part 2 (no really this time) of the 'Houdini: You're Learning It Wrong' series, Matt covers the technical pitfalls, workflow and incorrect assumptions people make when jumping from another package (eg Maya) to Houdini. 1) Houdini Spreadsheet vs Maya Outliner 2) Points vs verticies 3) Understanding contexts: don't get confused by the diving up and down 4) Template vs display vs output nodes vs null vs capital letter nodes 5) Attributes at different levels, points vs verts vs prims 6) Tab menu, first letter of nodes trick 7) Tab in viewport vs tab in network editor 8) Shift enter to auto connect new nodes 9) All in one vs lots of obj nodes: pros and cons 10) Network boxes are evil - use colour and sticky notes instead 11) HDA's vs Maya references: how they're similar, how they can be used to construct scenes, impose order 12) Attributes vs baked maps 13) Manual layout vs clever (the @P.x += @ptnum*check('spread') example) 14) Not everything needs sim, do as little sim as you can 15) Time dependency: be aware of it, use it to your advantage 16) Do everything in the one package vs rig and animate elsewhere, bring caches into Houdini 17) Network topology like a map you navigate, get familiar with vs containerised stuff that's often a hindrance 18) Over VEXing things, over proceduralism 19) Less python! 20) Stop reading copy stamp tutorials 21) Crashes and bugs are probably you, until it isn't. Initially you blame yourself, but over time you can start to identify when it's Houdini being weird. Give it about 2 months. 22) When attributes can drive sop parameters, when they can’t, how to know in advance (per point/prim vs global control, generally don’t try) HOUDINI FILES: https://sidefx.co/2DtuKDT Matt Estela is VFX Lead in Residence at The Animal Logic Academy, University of Technology Sydney.
