+  "text": "Hello everyone and welcome to the introduction to Houdini for 3D Artists. My name is Sabar and I'm going to be your instructor for this course. I wanted to talk about a few things that are important to mention at the beginning of the course and I'm going to briefly explain what we're going to be doing and what I'm going to be teaching you guys and hopefully give you some advice as to how to approach learning Houdini as well as making good use of the material that I'm going to be presenting. So I'm going to the final product that we're going to be creating is this, but in while doing that I'm going to be showing you guys various techniques that can create pretty much any kinds of complex geometry that you want to create. So I'm going to teach you a lot of techniques and a lot of tools that will hopefully allow you to create all kinds of geometry. Now as to what kind of idea you're going to create or what kind of concept is going to be pretty much up to you. There is a huge difference between learning a tool and creating something artistic with the tool. And the majority of this workshop is we're going to be focusing on the tools. And then once you once you guys master these tools, you will be able to freely explore them and create any kinds of geometry you want. It's similar to how you learn how to draw. You first master the technique of drawing and then you start creating new things. And doing both things at the same time can be very, very very challenging and especially this applies to Houdini because it's so complex. We have to first dissect all of it into smaller problems and learn how to tackle those. And then once you guys acquire new techniques on how to create various different geometries, you can start exploring new artistic skills or new concepts to create whatever art you want. I'm also going to be talking about the art side. This doesn't mean that it's a very technical workshop, it's actually not very technical, and we're going to be talking about the artistic side of things as well. But it's not going to be super, super art heavy, we're going to be again focusing on the techniques. Now, if you're completely new and I'm going to be considering that all of you guys are completely new here at Dini, what I would recommend doing the best is to first watch the videos every week and then do the same assignment that I'm going to give you. Do the same work to actually understand and get comfortable with the techniques and working with the application and everything. Once you acquire that, once you feel comfortable that you fully understood the content of that week, you can start taking it further and create your own. If it's too much information for you to digest, I would recommend to watch all the videos first and then watch them again and apply at the same time. And then once you finish that, you can start creating your own thing. If you feel very comfortable with Houdini and you want to go straight into creating something completely new, that's totally fine as well and I encourage you guys to try and push it to the limit. Now it's a short workshop, it's only five weeks and then we have these two bonuses. We're going to be doing the heavy lifting, pretty much everything about prospecialism and modeling in these two weeks. And then the later weeks, we're going to learn how to create UVs and assemble the environment from the previously created assets. And then the next two weeks are going to be shading and lighting in mantra and then composting in Houdini cups. These are bonuses to show you guys how you can use Arnold inside of Houdini Cups. some kind of environments and things like that. And I think that's pretty much it for this video. Thank you guys for watching and let's get started.",
