This video will be about unwrapping!
There are so many ways of creating UVs and doing it more procedural.
Here you will see most of the unwrapping nodes Houdini offers.

Unwrapping models can be a difficult and time-consuming process, but with the right tools, it can be faster for similar results. In this guide, you'll learn about the various unwrapping tools in Houdini and how to use them effectively. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced user, this video will help you understand the power of Houdini's unwrapping tools and showing a variaty of options that are available.

Starting with basic UV mapping and the common setups I would use. This will help you to understand basic unwrapping for either manual or procedural setups. After that a quick summary of most UV nodes is shown. With this overview I hope to show you new things that could be useful when you would create your own UV systems in Houdini.

Not only will you learn about the unwrapping tools themselves, but also see an overview of UV tools. This also include Labs nodes, which are a great welcome to have more UV options.
This video is the perfect resource for anyone looking to get into the art of unwrapping in Houdini. So get your Houdini ready and let's start exploring more!

    This is how you condense a 1 hour course into a 8 min video for youtube! Nicely done. Super beginner friendy, thanks.

    WOW! 😍 I'm 18 months into using Houdini everyday for work and this is by far the best quickstart on UVs I've found. Awesome work Simon! Thanks for doing this. I'm properly ashamed I got this far without realising I can just rectify all shells that easily 😬
