SideFX have released a new tutorial on grooming in Houdini.

“Barry Bacon is our character, which we will groom and render in Houdini. This is a short course, made up of two parts. Part 1 covers how to prepare your scene, comb guides and add parting lines. Part 2 goes over how to generate hair, clump them, add variations and render it in Mantra. There is also a separate introduction series, for beginners, to go over basics on grooming in Houdini.”

The tutorials are created by Gabriela Salmeron, a senior creature FX technical director at Framestore.
