Welcome back to Part 2 of the Houdini beginner tutorial series from Nine Between!
This part goes over creating multiple objects. Each object can represent a single aspect of a larger setup. In this case, we are creating a donut and need three different objects to represent each part of the donut; the actual donut, the icing and the sprinkles. You can of course create them all as one object but by separating them, we make our setup easier to work with. If we would like to make a change to one particular part of the donut, we know where to find it as a single contained part.
We also touch on attributes. These are arguably the most important aspect of Houdini once the basics are understood. They can be seen as characteristics of a geometry. For example, if a point is blue, it would have an attribute called ’Cd’. ’Cd’ stands for ’Color Diffuse’. This is just one of many attributes. Another would be ’N’ which is your normal direction. This is the vector perpendicular to a face.
Hopefully this tutorial eases y
