HOUDINI 101 - 01 - Installing Houdini

This video describes the process of installing Houdini and the Houdini Engine for complete beginners to the program. 🔽🔽🔽 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.

These lectures are part of the larger Houdini "Procedural Asset Production" Masterclass currently in development and to be released in stages over the course of 2021/2022.

You actually have to have an indie license or artist license in order to use the Houdini engine to import assets that you create (exported from Houdini with .hdanc suffix). Or I am misunderstanding the terms on their website. I followed your directions through this tutorial but cannot get even a basic hda that I created and exported (which has a hdanc suffix) to work. Only shows the Houdini logo. But other assets that were made with a commercial license import and work fine. So there is no way to get this to work? Anyone have a way?
