Houdini is not just for visual effects. With the availability of Houdini for all platforms and the variety of training materials now available, Houdini is making headway into the world of motion graphics. The procedural nature of Houdini, combined with its powerful dynamics system, make Houdini an important player in visualizing data and allowing graphic artists to express themselves in new and powerful ways. In this tutorial series we are going to look at a current design trend – data connections – and build a procedural system in Houdini to accomplish this task while harnessing all the additional benefits Houdini has to offer. We’ll learn how to draw connections between relational points of data (in this case, by proximity), create text readouts of the data, and combine this system with Houdini’s dynamics network. At the end of the tutorial, the viewer will know how to create a reusable digital asset to handle this effect, and hopefully learn a few new tricks along the way!

In this series of ZBrush tutorials, we'll be talking about the some of the ways you can use the new FiberMesh feature to create foliage, fur, or even human hair. ZBrush has always been a great tool for concepting characters and models and creating highly detailed sculpts. The materials, lighting, and rendering capabilities have also been continually enhanced and we can now get some great final images right out of ZBrush. One important thing that was still difficult to achieve in ZBrush was hair or fur. Many of the characters you create will require some kind of hair or fur to really be finished. FiberMesh, added in ZBrush 4R2b is a great solution. In this course we'll look at the basics of working with FiberMesh as well as a number of different scenarios in which it could be used. We'll talk about creating grass and trees, fur, and different varieties of hair, and we'll go over many of the available grooming brushes. There's no substitute for getting in there and playing with it yourself, but at the end of this tutorial, you'll have a much better idea of what you can do and how to go about getting the results you need for your custom creation
