P3 — Procedural Animation - Breakdown Examples

Header information:

• Title
• Name
• Date
• Houdini Version

Important statistics:

• Average render time (include time, resolution, samples, noise value, min/max rays, additional settings)
• Number of lights in scene
• Complexity of geometry (approximate)

You are free to reformat this, however the above should be included and be easily readable. A tabular form is suggested.

Brief description of your project:

• Be concise — a reference picture or final result is fine

Technical guide:

• "How I did this"
• Anything unusual in your technique — written for a Houdini peer audience

Description of problems encountered and solutions:

• Be concise and to the point
• Include screencaps where appropriate

This document should act as a quick guide to what to expect in your hip file — think of it as "how would I tell someone how to do what I did" if they were a Houdini peer. A technical document, not an essay. Submit as Quarter_Class_P3_LastnameFirstname_Title.pdf (or html).
