Volume 1 of Learn Houdini is a gentle introduction to the program. I cover the user interface and key concepts of the software, listed in the chapter descriptions below. I wrap of this first volume with a demo lesson, showing the start to end of a sample project.

This volume of the course is not an extensive introduction to all things Houdini, but it is the foundational level that will help get you started with the program and on to the more complicated aspects of the software. And, it’s a prerequisite for future planned volumes.
