Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this houdini training:

Houdini 3D artists are some of the most sought-after in the industry. And for good reason: Houdini is both the most powerful tool for digital effects and also notoriously difficult to learn.

The good news is that we’ve designed this course as a gentle introduction to the fundamentals of Houdini, creating a solid foundation from which to launch into Houdini’s specialized feature sets: pyro, fluids, oceans, explosions, crowds…the list goes on.

We’ll also take a look at Houdini Engine, Houdini’s revolutionary platform for developing content that can be automatically incorporated into both 3D animation packages–Maya, 3DS Max, Cinema 4D–and the game development applications Unity and Unreal Engine.

In the class you’ll learn:

  • The various context networks through which Houdini works
  • Houdini’s unique node-based architecture
  • Scene assembly and the Mantra render system
  • Procedural modeling
  • The fundamentals of Houdini’s particle system
  • Creating impressive effects you can use in VFX shots today thanks to the preset shelves
  • Creating a terrain plugin for use in Maya and Unity

Prerequisite: Basic understanding of digital 3D is helpful (e.g. using the 3D camera in After Effects or knowledge of another 3D DCC package like Maya, modo, 3DS Max or Cinema 4D) but not required.

Remote Learning

This course is available for "remote" learning and will be available to anyone with access to an internet device with a microphone (this includes most models of computers, tablets). Classes will take place with a "Live" instructor at the date/times listed below.

Upon registration, the instructor will send along additional information about how to log-on and participate in the class.

Refund Policy

The student has the right to withdraw from the training without penalty at any time. Upon withdrawal, the Refund Policy will apply. The student is only obligated to pay for educational services rendered, and materials received but not returned.

If the amount the student has paid is more than what is owed, then a refund will be remitted within 45 days of the withdrawal.

The refund shall be the amount the student paid for instruction multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of hours of instruction which the student has not received, but for which the student has paid, and the denominator of which is the total number of hours of instruction for which the student had paid.

All amounts which the student has paid, however denominated, shall be deemed to have been paid for instruction, unless the student has paid a specific charge for equipment as set forth in the agreement for the course of instruction. The last date of the student’s attendance is used for all refund calculations.

A student who cancels an enrollment agreement on or prior to the midnight of the seventh (7th) day of enrollment or after the student has attended the first class shall be entitled to receive a full refund.

Cancellation shall occur when the student gives written notice to CourseHorse.

You may cancel your enrollment contract with the school and receive a full refund without any penalty or obligation during the first five days of term. After cancellation, any payment you have made will be refunded to you within 30 days.
