Houdini for the New Artist I & II

This course is perfect for those who are new to Houdini because it offers a fun project that gets you moving around the interface quickly. It's not just about creating various effects with our friend "Tweaki" though. The aim of this course is all about building a foundation of Houdini skills that will help you with any future project. Some of the topics include particle simulation, shading, procedural animation, vex/vops, building HDAs, instancing, volumes, compositing and much more.
