These tutorials introduce the fundamental 3D concepts (modeling, animation, texturing, lighting, and rendering) as they apply in Houdini. Instructor Scott Pagano shows how to manipulate geometry; apply materials; add lights and cameras to a scene; render work with Houdini's internal renderer, Mantra; and even create simple particle systems. The course will start new users on a path to more advanced 3D work and show experienced users of other 3D packages how to transfer their skills to the world of Houdini.

Topics include:
* Setting Houdini preferences
* Modifying geometry
* Copy stamping
* Setting keyframes
* Manipulating animation channels
* Shading and texture mapping
* Lighting scenes
* Rendering with Mantra
* Creating particle emitters
