It’s time for a new premium course – and Mo has been looking for a topic that’d allow him to bundle together a few of the more involved setups he built. So “Advanced Setups” it is. How original. In this course we’re gonna dive into […]
Advanced Setups
About this Course
In this course we’re gonna dive into more elaborate Houdini setups, using VEX, a bit of math here and there and bits of Python. We’ll be talking about using third party libraries to solve more involved problems from math, physics and biology while also writing a good bit of VEX and OpenCL code ourselves.
Recommended Prerequisites
- Knowledge of Houdini (UI, SOPs mainly)
- At least basic knowledge of VEX (highly recommended)
- Beginner’s knowledge of Python (recommended, but not essential)
- Willingness to solve logical riddles

Advanced Setups 02 – Installing 3rd Party Libraries For Houdini’s Python
It’s finally come so far – we’re accepting that we can’t (or rather don’t want to) write every complex algorithm out there ourselves in VEX. Enter Python. Not necessarily because Mo loves Python so much, but because there is a wealth of highly interesting libraries […]

Advanced Setups 23 – Controlling Stable Diffusion With Houdini
Of course Mo could take the high road and build a stable diffusion pipeline using Huggingface’s Diffusers library… But let’s not kid ourselves. Thanks to Automatic1111’s API Mo can duct tape together Houdini and WebUI to use both of these awe inspiring powerful tools to […]
