Gumroad – Mantra Shading and Rendering Workshop ? Assets and Scene Files
Title: Gumroad – Mantra Shading and Rendering Workshop ? Assets and Scene Files
Info:
Join me in discovering the powerful Mantra rendering engine inside Houdini. All you need is a free version of Houdini, and some free time to learn and go through the course.
We will start with the very basics of navigating through the interface and adding materials, lights, and cameras. Then we move into learning about how to create materials using different shaders.
We will cover most important nodes, masks, generators, and other techniques to build our procedural materials. No prior knowledge required, this is a step by step course for beginners and intermediate users.
Videos are free. Assets are a paid addon, which is not mandatory.
HOW TO USE THE ASSETS:
First, download the file archive to your computer and unzip it.
If you want to follow along with all the assets that come with the course, right after starting Houdini navigate to the menu and go:
File > Set Project and define the folder that you just unzipped by double clicking it and pressing “Accept”
After that, in the menu press “File > Open” and chose the corresponding file. If you do not Set The Project your models and textures might not load, since Houdini will not know where to look for them.
Warning:Be sure to scan all the downloaded files with your Antivirus, and if there is an executable or installer file, make sure to have your antivirus active and open in the background while installing or running the installed app. Some of the materials posted here are grabbed from CGPeers, so it could potentially have something injected in them.
We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link (higher than 30% positive result). Thank you.
