And it absolutely helps them not get lost in it.well, not get lost even more. From my experience - plenty of people learning Houdini come from blender nowadays.

Stuck in generating scene after that i have error: output driver not supported in Apprentice version. The two don't compete, they play a different game. Error: output driver not supported in Apprentice version.
Nobody who follows this advice and learns Blender will ever even open Houdini at a later point in time. We are here to help.īlender is better for beginners in my opinion (because it's easier and faster as you say - which is absolutely important for a beginner).įeel free to give another opinion, but I absolutely believe that a beginner should understand the classic workflows first, no matter how much I love houdini, because they are still used more often than the procedural approach (For hobbyists AND professionals). We're not here to sell Houdini to people. Check out the longer version of this video where I explain a few more details.

It has nothing to do with turning people away from Houdini. This video shows how to export single geo as a.
