HOUDINI 101 - 03 - Node Hierarchy & Contexts

This video describes Houdini's Node Hierarchy and the Contexts in which you can use Houdini for your projects. 🔽🔽🔽 LEARN MORE 🔽🔽🔽 In this first Lecture Series of the Foundation Module, learn the basics of Houdini and how to use it with the Unreal Engine for video game development. These tutorials are beginner friendly and cover knowledge and concepts vital to getting started with Houdini. Even if you are already familiar with Houdini you can still pick up tips and advice about Houdini from this Lecture. If you want to get started with the main project of this Module, I recommend you watch the second Lecture series in the Foundation Module called the FOUNDATION PROJECT, where we will build a procedural building modeling tool from scratch for the Unreal Engine.
