Letting Houdini out of the Box

Sometimes called the industry's best kept secret Houdini is a 3D program that should have better recognition. That’s why I’ve decided to run this webinar: to let the secret out of the box and dispel some of the myths surrounding the software.

Developed by Canadian company, Side Effects from Toronto, Houdini has been part of the VFX pipeline for many years. I believe wrongly stuck with the image of being hard to use, maybe partly because of its procedural programming nature, but mainly due to the less than intuitive interface, I would like to attempt to put the record straight.

The user interface has been refined over the years, and as a result Houdini has been steadily growing in popularity. As more and more CG artists learn about its unique tool set they have reaped the creative rewards Houdini offers, and you too could join the party.

Houdini is now an integral part of the pipeline so all aspiring VFX artists should be aware of its capabilities, and this webinar will equip you with the basic knowledge to get you started.

During the Webinar we will cover the following points

• Houdini, the basics
• Five things you should know about this software
• Why we teach Houdini and how it all fits together
• How does Houdini fit into your workflow?
• What it can do when you know how to make it work for you

We end with a Q & A so you will have a chance to quiz me on any points that need further explanation.

For any aspiring 3D artists I assure you that this is a webinar not to be missed, so book your place now and learn Houdini the Escape way.
