I've been learning Houdini from the beginning of this year, and I gradually come to feel the software would be useful as not only visual effects generator but also motion graphics tool. Since everything repetitive edits are non-destructive much more than MoGraph, it might replace Cinema4D in this few years in my workflow. Therefore I would like to write down some memos for beginners.

I'm also studying GPU renderer because I bought Bizon eGPU to use GeForce 1080 Ti on my Mac Pro 2013. Some of below studies are rendered using Octane for Houdini, but I'm already bored for the photorealism so have been trying to use Mantra such as header image.
