# The TechArt Guide 📚

### 👋 Welcome!

This repository is a practical, **to-the-point guide** for tech artists looking to master topics like Houdini, OpenUSD, Math, how camera's & colors work, rendering, etc.. Whether you're a beginner taking your first steps or an experienced tech artist leveling up, you'll find extensive documentation, best practices and runnable code right here.

The core philosophy is simple: **learn by doing**. I get straight to the point so you can spend less time reading and more time doing.
