Houdini FX For Beginners is a Production Masterclass, Houdini FLIP, Pyro, Destruction, Dynamics, Rendering and Compositing

These are REAL film examples of FX I still do all the time in production. Not only are these techniques important to learn, but also the mindset of problem solving, research, and the initiative required to learn by yourself and further yourself as an artist.

Learn Pyro FX, destruction, FLIP simulations, rendering and compositing. Most importantly learn how all these FX interact with each other and the problems that will happen in production.

Online training usually doesn’t address the problems you will face in production, often artists can follow along with a tutorial but then will get stuck very quickly with a real scene, and so this training is a production style course that is very similar to the work you will do in the real world. You will take it from start to finish, and we will go over a lot of the bugs and simple things that will stop you from completing the training.

By keeping things simple you will learn how to get fast and efficient results. Become faster and better by using these techniques over and over again. All these techniques can be applied to different versions of Houdini.
