An Introduction to Houdini
This one day short course introduces digital artists to the 3D effects software, Houdini, by SideFX. Learn from the FX Lead at the Animal Logic Academy, Raphaël Gadot, and get hands-on with Houdini.
About this course
Houdini is used in the film, animation and visual effects industry and increasingly in data visualisation and simulation. Due to its ability to create visual simulations based on procedural computation, it offers a very different approach to working with 3D, as compared to more traditional tools such as 3dsMax, Maya or Cinema 4D.
Houdini excels at creating physical based effects such as destruction, smoke, fire and fluid simulations. Most importantly, it gives artists absolute control over every aspect of the scene, at any point in time.
The UTS Animal Logic Academy is an approved Houdini Training Centre.
Who is this course for?
This introductory course is ideal for persons from film, animation, media arts and game development – as well as those considering a career in visual effects who would like to get an overview of Houdini software and what it can do in a range of professional contexts.
There are no specific admissions requirements, other than an interest in a career as a digital effects artist and understanding more about the software package Houdini.
