Course Overview
Class Description:
This recorded course takes your noise creation skills to the next level. Learn how to layer, and manipulate basic noises in order to generate exciting new patterns. All of which can be used in numerous Houdini contexts like particle emission, shader masks, volume erosion, geometry displacement, and velocity fields to name just a few.
Learning Outcomes:
At the end of this course, you should have a better understanding of how to create more visually interesting noises in VOPs and VEX.
Session 1
Intro to the World of Noise
Get an overview of what Noises are, which available stock VOP Noises Houdini contains, and how the general workflow of connecting and visualizing them is done.

Session 2
Layering, layering, and more layering
Get more in depth and push noise creation further by layering and manipulating noise input data via VEX, as well as learning available VEX noise options.
