Introduction to Houdini
Produce Technically Complex Effects
One of the most powerful 3D packages available, Side Effects' Houdini, is used by many of the preeminent production studios to produce the most technically complex effects. Instruction introduces Houdini's interface to establish familiarity with the software, and then presents its powerful step-by-step procedural approach, which allows for great variations in results leading ultimately to a faster production workflow. Examples include driving animation with audio data, modifying geometry using moving image sequences, particle animation setup, and basic shader creation. Course work covers Houdini's unique approach of SOPs and VOPs, rendering, attributes, shaders and modification. The course is structured around creation of a portfolio project so that students complete the class with a demo-reel ready sequence.
