Lynda – Houdini Essential Training

市场上有多种用于 3D 内容创建的工具，每种工具都有自己的优点和优点。Houdini——一个领先的 3D 内容创建包——提供了一个程序工作流，允许在构建一系列资产和动画时进行强大的实验、系统可重用性和整体流程效率。虽然以其 VFX 优势而闻名，但 Houdini 拥有强大的工具，可用于从逼真的视觉效果到风格化的动态图形等项目的端到端 3D 制作。在本课程中，Scott Pagano 从头开始​​，为您提供 Houdini 的坚实基础。首先，他将带您浏览界面，涵盖诸如全局动画选项、命名法以及视口和显示节点等主题。接下来，他介绍了核心几何和动画概念，然后是照明、阴影、和使用 Houdini Mantra 渲染器的渲染技术。一旦您掌握了这些主要的 3D 技能，Scott 就会转向粒子和体积——这是该软件包最受称赞的一些优势。他最后概述了包的合成上下文，您可以在其中创建对跨所有上下文的流程有用的程序图像。

Title: Lynda – Houdini Essential Training

Info: There’s a multitude of tools for 3D content creation on the market, and each has its own advantages and merits. Houdini—a leading package for 3D content creation—offers a procedural workflow that allows for powerful experimentation, system reusability, and overall process efficiency in building an array of assets and animations. While known for its VFX strengths, Houdini has powerful tools for end-to-end 3D production for projects ranging from photorealistic visual effects to stylized motion graphics. In this course, Scott Pagano starts from the ground up to provide you with a solid foundation in Houdini. First, he takes you through the interface, covering topics such as global animation options, nomenclature, and viewport and display nodes. Next, he covers core geometry and animation concepts, followed by lighting, shading, and rendering techniques using the Houdini Mantra renderer. Once you have those primary 3D skills under your belt, Scott moves on to particles and volumes—some of the package’s most lauded strengths. He wraps up with an overview of the package’s compositing context, where you can create procedural imagery useful for processes across all contexts.
