an overview of new and existing shading features in Houdini 15
Intended as an in-depth overview for new and existing shading features in Houdini 15, it includes an introduction to Houdini’s new SHOP shaders. The class also covers shading and layering shaders by way of Houdini’s VOPs.
Kai also gives a deeper look at working with BSDF’s (Bidirectional scattering distribution functions) so that you will be able to build your own custom shaders.
