One way of learning how Houdini works is to explore networks that have already been built to create a particular animation or visual effect. These networks are presented here as Digital Assets that can be installed as Operator Type Libraries then explored as tools.

When a particular demo tool is used, you can initially use the parameters found under the object's control tab in the Parameter pane to test out the example at a high level. When you want to learn more, you can navigate the underlying network to see which operations were used and how they were connected.

In most cases, you can MMB-click on the operations to see notes provided by the network's author explaining the role each part plays in the whole.

Demo assets are available in the following categories:
