Houdini’s unique approach to geometry underpins everything you’ll end up doing with it – VFX, direct modelling, procedural modelling, UVs, scene layout – it all starts here. This course is where we begin laying the best foundations for everything ahead.
By the end of this course, you’ll have a deep understanding of:

Houdini’s geometry components – points, vertices, primitives, edges and breakpoints
How geometry is constructed in Houdini by connecting points
The importance and power of vertices in controlling connectivity
The concepts, theories and practical uses of Houdini’s primitive types – polygons, nurbs, beziers, meshes, polysoups and quadratic primitives
How to easily convert from one primitive type to another – plus when and why you’d want to


This is the first of three courses in the Geometry Essentials Collection, step two on the Houdini Made Easy learning path.

Course Syllabus

Section 01
Creating Primitive Objects
There are different ways you can add primitive objects – at the object or geometry level. We’ll explain what that means, and show you how. Then we’ll get a hold of Houdini’s viewport handles, to tackle positioning and sizing and how to use these in combination with a few need-to-know keyboard shortcuts.
Section 02
Geometry Components
As soon as you look at Houdini’s geometry components, you realise it’s different to other applications. Points as well as vertices? What exactly are primitives and why are there so many different types? A geometry point is the same thing as a particle? Don’t worry, we’ll walk you through it.
Section 03
Connecting Points
Building geometry in Houdini is all about connecting points – and vertices are the boss. But you’re the CEO (in this metaphorical company analogy), so you need to know how to get those vertices to work for you. Understanding vertices opens up a whole new world of creative flexibility, only possible in Houdini.
Section 04
Primitive Types - Polygons
Just like in other applications, but different. You see, polygons in Houdini are curves at the same time as they are surfaces. What? You heard us. Working with open and closed polygons (and converting between them) is really powerful and incredibly versatile. We’ll show you how.
Section 05
Primitive Types - Nurbs and Beziers
What’s parameterisation? Aside from a difficult word to say quickly. In this section we’re getting down and dirty with parametric curves and surfaces. Many people think it’s all about polygons these days, but understanding this stuff comes in real handy – especially once you get into procedural modelling.
Section 06
Comparing & Converting Nurbs & Polygons
What do you get if you convert a polygon mesh to a nurbs surface? No it’s not a set up for a bad joke, it’s an important question and one we’re going to answer. While we’re at it, let’s talk about Houdini’s unique ability to subdivide and interpolate polygon curves and how it suddenly makes them as flexible as nurbs curves.
Section 07
Primitive Types – Polysoups & Quadratic Primitives
These guys save lives. Well, not quite – but they do save memory and disk space in wildly different ways. One day to deadline, but your scene is so heavy you can barely move? Building a friendship with these fellas could set you free.
