  1. Did (almost) nobody comment yet, for the great work you put in it?

    Because I really want to say that you are the first teacher I came across, that made me understand the core principles of Houdini. They are not just tutorials standing alone, but they are connected and grasp the whole picture of Houdini for beginners to understand. Can’t wait for your coming tutorials to make the whole picture even more complete. I think that’s the unique quality of you and your service to the community to build out Houdini Kitchen.

    For the first time, I am realy learning how to cook in Houdini.
    Thank you Suzie 🙂

    Greetings,
