We’re sure you’ve heard a lot about VEX, but do you really need to learn to write VEX code to start using Houdini? The short answer is no. Here we’ll show you how you can do all you need and more using amazing, artist-friendly little things called VOPs. A brilliant intro to VEX, VOPs are a visual way of using VEX to manipulate attributes and modify geometry. Down the track, you’ll be using them to build shaders and materials, make textures in COPs, and work wonders in other contexts, too. Huzzah!

By the end of this course, you’ll have a deep understanding of:

Why VEX is such a big deal and why you should learn it
How to build VEX code in a visual way using nodes
The essential VOP nodes that you’ll work with daily
Why working with values in a 0-1 range makes so much sense
Using VOPs with SOPs for practical tasks like banking geometry along curves
The principles of noise and how to work with it
