This is my second Houdini tutorial, in collaboration with cmiVFX. It’s about shading and rendering in Houdini using Mantra. In this video I talk about a lot of subjects, such as Materials, Rendering tools, Direct and Indirect lighting, Global Illumination, Displacement, details about Mantra and others.

Throughout this tutorial, as an application, I build, step by step, the Materials and render setup for the ‘Tea Set’ scene.
