Gumroad - Python States for Houdini TDs

Course details

Master Python States for Houdini to create powerful, interactive procedural tools!

This course is designed for Houdini Technical Directors (TDs) who want to dive deep into Python states and understand how to use them for more interactive procedural tools. Paul Ambrosiussen will walk you through the core concepts, examples, and features of Python states in Houdini, and show how to harness their full potential.

The course covers the following major topics:
- Creating and Installing: Learn how to create different types of Python states and install them.
- UI Event Handlers: Understand lifecycle event callbacks and how to integrate input devices (mouse, keyboard, etc.).
- Context Menus: Learn how to create custom right-click menus to enhance your users' interaction.
- Selections: Discover how to bind custom geometry and object selectors.
- Guide Geometry: Build drawables and enhance geometry creation using Python with SOP verbs.
- Handles: Bind static and dynamic handles to parameters and update them in real-time.
- State Parameters: Learn to configure state interactions with your tools using state parameters.
- Info Panels: Create HUDs (Heads-Up Displays) to streamline user experience in Houdini.
- Miscellaneous Tips: Implement advanced undo, work with Invoke SOP, and other essential Python tips.

Practical Examples:
- The course will guide you through real-world examples of Python states being built from scratch, including a dedicated section for ongoing examples based on student requests.

Additional Course Features:
- Slides & Recordings: Educational slides, tips, and video recordings for every chapter.
- Google Drive Access: Access HDAs, Python files, and recordings.
- Discord Community: Connect with a community of like-minded peers for support and feedback.

Requirements:
- Basic knowledge of Python
- Basic experience with Houdini (Houdini 19.0+ required, Apprentice version works fine!)
- SideFXLabs installed
- IDE (e.g., Sublime Text, Visual Studio, etc.)

Who is this course for?
- Houdini users and TDs looking to dive deeper into Python scripting
- Anyone interested in making their procedural tools more interactive and powerful
- Artists looking to improve their understanding of Python states and custom workflows

Pro Tip: Python states can open up a whole new world of customization for your Houdini tools, giving you more flexibility and control over your projects! ????
