We followed the new update to Houdini 16 in DP; now the release has arrived. You can now also find an overview of the new features here on the site from SideFX. If you are unsure which product is suitable for you: the development team also provided a comparison table for this, which you can find here. This way to download the free Apprentice version.
Ocean Masterclass
To become familiar with Houdini 16’s new ocean tools, the team published a two-hour masterclass on Your Vimeo page. There you will also find further clips demonstrating examples of what the tool can do.
Further Training for Houdini
Alongside the extensive documentation, SideFX has set up a page through which you can learn with tutorials. You can find the link to it here. You can follow your own learning path by categories, skill level and other settings. To get an impression of what such tutorials look like, here we show you a quickstart to the Node Editor for beginners. Incidentally, the learning platform Pluralsight announced a Houdini training event for March 1. Read more about it here.
