yes, I have my list of youtube videos, I just wanted people to recommend something they consider useful because from my experience not all videos/courses are equally good.
Start with the tutorials on sidefx.com if after that you are sure you want to continue down the road of learning Houdini I would highly recommend a cmivfx.com subscription. While those tutorials are mostly geared towards feature film quality visual effects the principles will be still be very valuable.
It's great to see more people getting interested in Houdini!
Most Houdini courses are bad. Here's a list of well-known good tutorials.
Some of them old but still good and applicable because inner logic of Houdini are still the same.
