Chris, you should take a look at the Jumpstart series over at HelloLuxx. Adam Swaab is a great tutor who guides you through your learning path without ever being condescending. There's a promotion on at the moment with discounts of up to 50%. Vol.7 (currently 30% off) deals specifically with VOPS which is the closest thing to ICE in Houdini but I'd also recommend you pick up the bundle of the first 4 volumes (currently 50% off) as this covers a lot of key principles of the Houdini UX, which are helpful for someone transitioning from ICE. There's a ton of free tutorials available but the benefit of Adam's stuff is that it's structured as a 'learning path'. You could get away with skipping Vol's 5&6, as once you understand the foundations there's better paid material available for Pyro and Fluids - specifically thinking of the Steve Knipping 'Applied Dynamics' series over at CGCircuit. Steve's an ILM TD and a great communicator/teacher too (the downside is that his courses aren't the cheapest but they're still more reasonable than the likes of cmiVFX, fxPHD and CGSociety). He made Vol.1 of his Destruction series available for free on Vimeo; it's a great indicator to his approach to teaching and the quality of his other course. Steve's great at explaining the 'why' as well as the 'how'. That added context aids retention and deeper understanding of Houdini as an integrated system. https://vimeo.com/185820853 http://helloluxx.com/product-tag/adam-swaab/ https://www.cgcircuit.com/browsepage.php On 12 January 2017 at 12:27, Olivier Jeannel <facialdel...@gmail.com> wrote: > Not everything, but yeah State Machine is something I try to reproduce in > popvop but some easy features are missing such as "get time in state" and > other nodes that gave the age of the particle relative to the moment it > entered the stage. > > 2017-01-12 12:45 GMT+01:00 Cristobal Infante <cgc...@gmail.com>: > >> I could you show a similar setup in Houdini, but I am nowhere as eloquent >> as the MASTER Bradley Gabe... >> >> Also you must forget everything you know (state >> Machines, bla bla). >> >> >> >> On Thu, 12 Jan 2017 at 11:34, Chris Marshall <chrismarshal...@gmail.com> >> wrote: >> >>> indeed! >>> >>> On 12 January 2017 at 11:17, Rob Chapman <tekano....@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>> IMHO one of the best tutorials for ICE that got me fired up back in >>> >>> >>> the day with that 'aha' moment was Brad Gabe's "An artist tour >>> >>> >>> Production primer" >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> 8 years ago. wowsers >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> On 12 January 2017 at 11:06, Olivier Jeannel <facialdel...@gmail.com> >>> wrote: >>> >>> >>> > Hi Chris, >>> >>> >>> > I've already posted this, but since you're talking about : >>> >>> >>> > https://vimeo.com/158037926 >>> >>> >>> > >>> >>> >>> > 2017-01-12 12:03 GMT+01:00 <mikael.petter...@gmail.com>: >>> >>> >>> >> >>> >>> >>> >> Hi Chris, >>> >>> >>> >> >>> >>> >>> >> That it what I'm trying to do with the Xsi to Houdini videos.
