From the course: Houdini Engine for Cinema 4D and Maya
Welcome
- [Voiceover] Hello, I'm Scott Pagano, and welcome to Houdini Engine for CINEMA 4D and Maya. The Houdini Engine is a powerful plug-in that bridges the procedural world of Houdini with CINEMA 4D and Maya. We're gonna look at a bunch of different things in this course, starting off with building a simple geometric network and seeing how to package that up as what we call an HDA, or a Houdini Digital Asset, which is the file type that we then use in other programs. And then we'll look at a slightly more complex geometric network and see how we can use Houdini's proceduralism to allow for a rapid variation within other programs. We'll also take a look at a particle system that's been built in Houdini and then apply that in both CINEMA 4D and Maya to see how we can use Houdini's powerful particle generation inside of another environment. And in the final example, we'll look at how to use Houdini's very, very powerful volumetric fluid simulation systems within Maya. It all starts with building a basic Houdini network, so let's dive in.
