Houdini is a procedural node-based software that has dominated the FX market for years. Today, it rivals the most popular DCCs like Maya, 3ds Max and Katana in more and more areas. However there is still a lot of manual work that goes into Houdini to make all of this magic possible.
Have you ever asked yourself: "Is there a way to automate this workflow?!" 🤔
Automate your processes and let Python do the "boring stuff"!
What is the Python for Houdini masterclass?
The focus of this masterclass is to teach Python beginners how to use Python in Houdini to automate everyday workflows. You'll learn the basics of scripting in Python from scratch, how to use Python to manipulate your environment and how to automate and simplify processes in Houdini.
After this masterclass, you will be able to
✅ Create powerful Houdini scripts using Python
✅ Create and manipulate scenes in Houdini
✅ Associate assets with shaders, textures, build groups and hierarchies
✅ Save, load and import and export scenes automatically
✅ Automate the "boring stuff" and support your project
What's inside?
Python for Houdini is a 8 weeks masterclass that focuses on teaching you the basics of scripting, lets you practice the newly learned topics weekly, gives you personal feedback, allows you to ask questions in the Q&As and be part of a community with other learners.
To achieve our goal we will focus the first 5 weeks on Python itself answering: What are data types? How to loop through and modify elements? How do you use code from multiple files? After these first 5 weeks you'll understand how the scripting process works while writing your own helpful Python scripts.
In the last 3 weeks we move over to Houdini to access the Houdini API using Python. How can we use Python to save, load, import, export, access and manipulate specific nodes in Houdini? Answering this question allows us to write impactful scripts, build complete scenes from scratch, manipulate them, reconnect nodes and automate repetitive processes.
