Houdini Training - VEX/VOPs 01 - Intro to VEX and VOPs

This video gives a brief introduction to VEX and VOPs in Houdini.

The VEX language is a high performing, highly parallelized low level language in Houdini, which users can use to create very fast custom nodes (in most cases, as fast as C++ operators) to operate on any data type (geometry, images, audio, volume, etc).

Additionally, the VOP context allows users to use this language and create custom operators by using nodes, and without having to write any code.

Glad you enjoyed it! Vex and VOps is where much of the true power of Houdini is.

Gianvito, God only knows you had to decipher and master Houdini on your own, but I feel really fortunate to have come across your channel and be tutored by your comprehensive videos. Everytime I watch another one of your videos, a big ass light bulb pops up, you really have a knack for normalizing a steep learning curve :-) Here's hoping you'll keep 'em coming. Multiple thumbs up :-)

This tut could be seen as a quick demonstration about why any other 3D software is obsolete if they don't become like Houdini! It's all about VOP and being able to use it everywhere.

As always, great stuff. Thanks.
I noticed your last Houdini Tuts are about a year old, are you planning on adding more to the library?
