Tutorial 7. Using Groups (30:19 minutes)
This tutorial looks at how to create and use groups in Houdini. It covers the group node, the group range node, the group transfer node and the group combine node.
We take a look at group syntax which can be used to add patterns of components to groups.
The documentation for group syntax is here:
https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/model/groups.html
In exploring the group node the tutorial uses different kinds of groupings to create a chess board that has the positions of the pieces driven by rows and columns as used in chess notation ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_notation )
The final piece was made into a Houdini Digital Asset which is included in the links below.
