I really hope to see more videos covering the aspects of Houdini that so many advanced users still aren't clear about!! The most awesome thing about the CMIVFX houdini training, is that it includes so many facets of houdini in the lessons. If CMI VFX wants to update it though, you could release a document along with the video that explains the specific differences that users may encounter. If a user is advanced enough to follow the tutorials, he should be able to figure out the minor differences between H8 and H9. I don't think its necessary for the existing training videos to be remade for new users, especially now that there is a lot of beginner level material now (Digital tutors, 3d buzz classroom, and now CMI Houdini fundamentals). I have purchased 4 of the 5 advanced training videos from CMIVFX over the last year. Since the workflow between h8 and h9 hasn't changed on Cities and L-system topics ( with the only thing that now we can write shader overrides differently), do you think it's worth upgrading the video, just “cosmetically”? Do you, users, really want that? It would maybe take some unnecessary time that should be put on something else? It depends. A great learning experience in perspective. So that now ALL users will be able to follow our DVDs about Procedural Modeling of Cities, VEX and l-systems. That's finally done with the release of our new DVD called : Houdini Fundamentals ( AND the sequel will be released in 1-2 weeks! That's it! Learn Houdini from the ground up, setting some solid foundations and leaving no holes usually left by manual discovery, with no questions unanswered. We have to please everybody! Everybody has to discover this wonderful, marvellous, mind-blowing, brillant, killer, ahead-of-its-time-since-the-beginning… application And beginners won't always stay beginners anyway: so we had to bridge the gap left before our advanced dvd AND set the first stone of a comprehensive and unified Houdini training. This video is for them! The old users know us already, i know they always want more of advanced stuff… But with the H9 boom, everybody wants to learn Houdini! We couldn't leave the growing community of beginners on the side. We bridged the gap! A warm hello to all the new users of Houdini. ( as before, the dvd came out on our sever before i could prepare a little speech.
