We are happy to introduce you to part two of Arsen Margaryan Houdini’s VOP tutorial, where we’ll delve deeper into node-based programming.

Before we start, this tutorial has no spoken instructions. However, don’t worry; author developed a unique teaching style that doesn’t rely on it.

Throughout the course, we’ll go through 46 tasks that cover various VOP aspects and use many exciting and essential nodes. These practical solutions will help you to gain a better understanding of VOP and enhance your skills.

This tutorial is a comprehensive resource that is exclusively dedicated to VOP. By the end of the course, you’ll be proficient enough not to rely on VEX coding.

I hope you enjoy the lessons, and please don’t hesitate to leave any feedback or suggestions in the review section to help author to improve and create more content.
