texture building in houdini 1 - 2 parts with rohan dalvi

This training is primarily aimed at users ranging from a beginner to intermediate level. The main purpose of this training is to help users understand the texture and material building system in Houdini.

The training is split in two parts. The topics covered in this training range from a basic understanding of using color maps in Houdini. We then take a look at all the various patterns and noise maps that are in built in Houdini and use them for generating textures and displacement.

As we progress we also start to learn how to modify and distort UV maps to modify textures and also use the For Loop to generate complex repeating and random patterns. We end the lesson by building a simple custom shader using the base level physically based nodes that are available in Houdini.

All the topics are demonstrated by creating workable finished materials that can be used for production.
