Handcrafted AI: Building a Neural Network in Houdini with VEX | Ivan Rys | Houdini Horizon
In this talk, we’ll explore the fundamentals of neural networks, starting with a brief introduction to their core concepts and mathematical foundations. We’ll then dive into building a perceptron - the simplest building block of a network - entirely within Houdini using VEX. From there, we’ll expand this structure into a basic neural network capable of recognizing handwritten digits from the MNIST dataset. You can now download the project file and inspect it for yourself here ---
