Hi,
I am a third year student studying BSc 3D Computer Animation. For my third year project I am looking to create a destruction tool within Houdini that does all the pre-shattering and gets the pieces ready for the destruction effects. I am looking to develop a "materials" library that the user can access then change certain parameters to gain the look they want. As a whole I would like to bring the usability and functionality of Maya's DMM and create something like it using python in Houdini.
Now here is the problem, last year I've learnt python and have used it extensively in Maya but haven't done any in terms of Houdini and have no clue how to write a tool for Houdini in python. I would really like to do this project in Houdini as I feel I already have a strong understanding of Maya having used to for some time now. This might be a big ask but are there any tutorials other than that of the SideFX Python Masterclass which I am currently going through? or any advice users here may be able to give.
Most importantly I would like to know if am I biting off more than I can chew? I apologise if this is the wrong place to post this, any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
