create a “chuck close” effect using houdini

This is a pretty cool Houdini tutorial on a couple of levels,  On of the levels is that Chuck Close has been one of my favourite artists since I can remember! Adam Swaab shows how to create the Chuck Close recursive image effect that seeped into the artists work in his later years. This is a fairly in-depth intermediate level tutorial that describes how to create a “Chuck Close” effect in Houdini.
