Houdini Basics: Procedural Modeling

Building on the fundamentals covered in Part 1, this tutorial will introduce you to procedural modeling techniques in Houdini and expand your understanding of node-based workflows.

Procedural Thinking

Procedural modeling in Houdini is about creating systems that generate geometry rather than manually crafting it. This approach allows for flexible, non-destructive workflows that can be easily modified at any stage.

Topics We'll Cover

• Exploring SOP (Surface Operator) nodes
• Creating parametric geometry
• Using attribute expressions
• Building modular node networks
• Introduction to For-Each loops
• Working with groups and patterns
