Reversing & Correcting Normals in Houdini Pt. 1/4 – Polygon Winding Order

Описание: Our new mini series begins! Four tutorials all about the importance of vertex order for reversing and correcting normals. In part one, we focus on polygon winding order.

Need to flip your normals? Understanding winding order is essential for controlling which way your polygons are facing. Not only that, but as many of Houdini’s geometry nodes use polygon winding and vertex order as well, fully grasping it will help you nail geometry and find your way around Houdini’s extensive toolset.

This is just a sneak peek of our super detailed Geometry Essentials 02 course. Head to Hipflask to supercharge your Houdini skills today!

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY

“I already had a small knowledge of Houdini by watching other video tutorials and reading some documentation and forums, but the knowledge was all over the place and I couldn't find an organised way for learning it. After watching your first course, I was amazed by all the fundamental details I've missed on my previous learning process, even after I already knew or used a few of those things, I've never really understood them until now.!”
