Welcome to the first Houdini Berlin Meet-Up at the https://xhain-hackspace.github.io/! Sit down, grab a cookie and let’s spend an evening with everyone’s favourite procedural 3d modeller.

Houdini is a 3d animation program with a procedural twist: Every action is saved in a node network and its parameters can be changed or randomized later. That allows for procedural assets (e.g. a house that you can still resize right in Unity3D – and it decides on the fly how many windows it needs and where they are placed) and amazing generative artworks.

You are new at Houdini? That’s perfectly fine! We can show you the ropes, try to answer your questions and you can get inspired by the cool stuff other people show.

You already know Houdini inside-out? Awesome. Present your projects and impress us with your knowledge.

Everyone is welcome: Newbies, veterans, artists, programmers, students or freelancers – anyone interested, really!

We have tables, chairs, internet and a beamer. If you like, bring your laptop to either show stuff or try new things out immediately.

Oh, and it wouldn’t hurt if you download and install the free Apprentice edition before you come: https://www.sidefx.com/get/download-houdini

See you there!
