Python Parameter Expressions - An Introduction

Course:
Houdini

In this video we explore the process of writing parameter expressions using Python. We start with simple, one-line expressions using the "ch" Python function, and then work up to multi-line expressions using the expression editor.

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!
