## **Overview**

This tutorial is part of a guide that walks you through the process of importing and rendering Houdini simulations in 3ds Max using V-Ray. Chapter 1 assumes you are somewhat familiar with both Houdini and 3ds Max, and provides information regarding the terminology used in Houdini and V-Ray/Phoenix FD.
