AHTYA03 - Noisy VOPs (Patreon)

Hi there,

here's the next AHTYA episode. Besides a plethora of inbuilt compiled operators Houdini offers the possibility to develop your own operators, using the VEX programming language. As coding is not for everyone, Houdini has a visual, node based coding environment, too, called VOPs. Short for Vex OPeratorS. This time I introduce you to VOPs. As a practical example of using VOPs we work with noise. After explaining the priciples of Perlin noise, we build a VOP network that allows for shaping noise in many different ways. A foundation for the usage of noise in your setups.
