Why I created the course?

I’ve been working as a VFX artist for over ten years, one of the most common questions people ask when moving across from Maya to Houdini is ‘how do I do xxxxxxx in Houdini, it’s so easy in Maya, but I can’t find the function in Houdini’.

Well the fact is that every software is different, not only do the functions have different names but different 3D software is built upon a whole architecture. To shift from Maya to Houdini requires to understand how the two pieces of software were built upon different architecture.
