Nodes & Python in Houdini

Course:
Houdini

We will explore the Houdini Python module, called "hou", and use it to grab a node, find it's name and path, and use methods to find the inputs, outputs, parent, and children of a given node.

Course Description
With our Houdini series we'll take an exploratory approach. Playing around with all the different nodes, and trying to build interesting & challenging models and simulations. Houdini can be intimidating at first, but with a little bit of experimentation, the complexity starts to dissolve and a powerful and simple tool emerges. I hope you will learn to love Houdini as much as we do!
