Introduction to Fluid Dynamics in Houdini

Hi there! I know I’ve been quiet here for a few days, but that’s mostly because I’ve been hard at work dominating the world. Of course, when not engaged in important life altering battles, I’ve also been trying to produce some Fluid Dynamics video tutorials for Houdini. I’m pleased to say that I’ve completed my 15 part (almost three hours) series on the subject and that they are now available for download from the Side Effects Software Website! Each video can be downloaded separately as a .mov file, or the whole collection can be acquired using Bit Torrent. I worked to make this as beginner friendly as possible, so hopefully I don’t have any of the advanced Houdniks screaming at me for keeping it too basic.

I also hope that the knowledge allows you to tune out the occasional sound of traffic. I promise that the sound quality improves after the first few.

I eventually want to get started on an introductory series to shading in Houdini as well, but I think I’ll take a little bit of a break to ensure that my fingers stay nimble. It’s been a while since I’ve done any strumming on the guitar, and the music section of my site is starting to crave attention.
