For this sort of thing I didn't really have any learning resource, honestly the best way to learn(for me anyway) is to just try make things. Start simply, all this stuff is just lots of simply steps layered on top of each other. Doing tutorials will only get you so far, having to problem solve for your own projects will teach you so much more and it will stick a lot better...even if it does take ten times longer to make something to start with lol. Here are a few useful resources though: http://www.tokeru.com/cgwiki/?title=Houdini https://vimeo.com/anopara https://www.sidefx.com/learn/getting_started/ also research papers are really useful for somethings, https://www.maa.org/sites/default/files/images/upload_library/23/picado/seashells/introdeng.html like this one I used for my procedural shell tool.

Haven't tested it but I don't see why it wouldn't.

Houdini and UE4 procedural cave tool and breakdown on Gumroad
Vexosaur posted a topic in Lounge/General chat
I made a tool for creating fully procedural cave systems from curves for use inside UE4 with Houdini Engine. Check it out, let me know what you think. Available here: https://gum.co/hdacaves Enjoy!-

Start working on this again. Added some width variation to the input curve, vertical shafts and broken it into segments.
-
Yeah, will need to play around. Mainly thinking for it's ability to preserve UVs.
-
Nice! I need to start working on mine again, it's been sitting in hiatus for ages. The new poly reduce will be really helpful too.
-
Made this a while ago, finally got around to uploading it to gumroad. https://gum.co/ofsD

Ultimately I would like to update it to use a system like this https://vimeo.com/229252148 . It's finding the time to work on it, though since people still seem to be enjoying it and using it maybe I'll be more inspired to find the time.

Don't have any plans to add to this at this point in time, there are already quite a lot of really nice tree growing/making systems around. I do have plans for some other things though, that aren't already done so well.
-
So no recorded tutorial but I did finally get around to finishing this. It's not super complicated, you should be able to pull it apart and figure out how it works. https://gum.co/shells

How to work with millions of points smoothly
Vexosaur replied to Jesus Nieto's topic in General Houdini Questions
There is the fluid compress if you are working with FLIP, I assume you could adapt it to work with other points for viewport visualization. You could also just delete every X point with a delete SOP or wrangle, a bit hackneyed though. Maybe someone else has a better solution. -
Yeah I get that, totally normal. I don’t know that there is a way to remove that inertia completely. The motivation is coming from time invested in a project, so until you have invested some time. The only thing I can think of is to eliminate distractions in those early stages of a project.

You could use the intersect function in VEX

I tend to go through phases of motivation, sometimes you just need to have a break for awhile and recharge. I find having good challenge helps or by breaking down a larger project into smaller goals.
