Free Houdini HIP: Neural Network in VEX by Ivan Rys (Houdini Horizon)
Original title: Handcrafted AI: Building a Neural Network in Houdini with VEX | Ivan Rys | Houdini Horizon
Overview
These free Houdini files come from Ivan Rys's Houdini Horizon talk Handcrafted AI, published on the official Houdini channel. The presentation builds a perceptron entirely in VEX and then extends it into a small neural network that recognizes MNIST handwritten digits inside a SOP network, with no external machine-learning libraries.
The annotated project file and the digital assets (HDAs) used in the talk are available on Gumroad as a pay-what-you-want product, free at $0. It is a fascinating reference for anyone curious about how far VEX can be pushed.
