Below you will find a review from specialists of the Houdini Team at the Krasnodar studio Plarium about the video courses Nature of Vex<\/a><\/noindex> og Bites of Python<\/a><\/noindex> from Mix Training, dedicated to working with the Python and Vex languages in the graphics program Houdini. <\/p>\n

In this post, the guys also share a selection of materials that will be useful for everyone interested. <\/p>\n

A little introduction<\/h3>\n

\nThe Vex language intimidates beginners in Houdini. Much of this is due to the stereotype that you must code in Houdini. In reality, in Houdini you can<\/i> code, and it actually simplifies and accelerates many processes instead of complicating them. For example, it helps avoid such terrifying setups: <\/p>\n

\nThe Vex language was created for writing shaders in the Mantra renderer (the built-in renderer of Houdini), but it quickly expanded beyond its initial use due to its flexibility, simplicity, and speed. The name of the language comes from the abbreviation Vector EXpressions, but it can manipulate completely different types of data. Thus, Vex is mainly used for various kinds of manipulations with geometry components (points, polygons), as well as for procedural geometry creation.<\/p>\n

The Vex language is quite lenient with syntax and code formatting, with a relatively low entry threshold. Often, just a couple of lines are enough to achieve the desired result. Among its advantages are also multithreading and, as a result, good speed. Programming in Vex is necessary for both elementary tasks and complex computations, and the language handles all of this extremely quickly. With it, you can do a lot of amazing things in procedural modeling, animation, and simulations.<\/p>\n

Of course, we like it when someone thinks we're all serious programmers, but in reality, we are used to functionality and convenience (though many who work in Houdini for the first time may think that the only comfortable thing is to sleep on nails). If a tool didn\u2019t simplify our lives, we wouldn\u2019t use it. Therefore, don\u2019t see the possibility of programming as something that hinders starting to learn Houdini. Vex is just another (albeit very good) tool among many others.<\/p>\n

Python, der er meget mere kendt i brede kredse, beh\u00f8ver ikke en pr\u00e6sentation eller detaljeret beskrivelse. Lad os se p\u00e5, hvorfor det er vigtigt for os. I konteksten af Houdini bruges Python til at styre selve programmet (oprettelse af noder i projektet, filh\u00e5ndtering, automatisering af gentagne opgaver, reproduktion af komplekse handlingskombinationer osv.). Desuden er programmering i Python n\u00f8dvendig for at skabe flotte interfaces i v\u00e6rkt\u00f8jerne og skrive praktiske kommandoer, der styrer aktiver med et enkelt klik. Hvis der fandtes en knap i Houdini-aktivet til at 'g\u00f8re det smukt', ville den v\u00e6re skrevet i Python. Derudover anvendes det nogle gange til geometrimanipulation (ligesom Vex-sproget), men det er vigtigt at forst\u00e5, at Python er mindre intuitivt at konfigurere til s\u00e5danne opgaver og ofte udf\u00f8rer disse opgaver langsommere end Vex. <\/p>\n

L\u00e6r mere om kurserne<\/h3>\n

\nUdvikleren af Houdini \u2014 firmaet Side Effects Software \u2014 udgiver s\u00e5 mange opdateringer og tilbyder s\u00e5 mange muligheder for brugerne, at den officielle dokumentation og de officielle undervisningskurser simpelthen ikke kan holde trit med opdateringerne. Derfor samler vi information fra forskellige kilder (betalingsbaserede, gratis, officielle og ikke s\u00e5 officielle) for at mestre disse fleksible og kraftfulde v\u00e6rkt\u00f8jer \u2014 programmeringssprogene Vex og Python (og Houdini generelt) i st\u00f8rst muligt omfang. Vi har valgt kurser fra Mix Training, da de tilstr\u00e6ber at d\u00e6kke et bredt spektrum af materiale om Python og Vex i Houdini.<\/p>\n

Kursusskaberens YouTube-kanal<\/a><\/noindex> (et udm\u00e6rket sted for dem, der \u00f8nsker at starte med Houdini), kendetegnet ved en uformel og afslappet stil samt et stort udvalg af emner, fra motion design til game development. Udover kanalen har han ogs\u00e5 sit eget garage death-metal band. Vi besluttede, at forfatteren fortjener vores tillid, og k\u00f8bte Nature of Vex<\/a><\/noindex> og Bites of Python<\/a><\/noindex>, 8 timer pr. kursus (kan ses med en hastighed p\u00e5 1,5). <\/p>\n
