One of the best ways to step your FX abilities up to the next level is to master Mantra, Houdini’s rendering engine and one of the best rendering solutions in the industry. Familiarity with Mantra will allow you to render the toughest effects a film can throw at the Houdini artist, as well as speak the language of lighting, and seamlessly integrate your effects and shots with final compositing.
This course will guide the student through the very basics of rendering in an exploration of Houdini cameras and lighting. Next, Three FX centric look-development tasks will be explored to build solid foundations with rendering. The examples will mimic on-the-job FX lookdev, which will impart experience dissecting a look and give a few studio ready FX solutions as well. They will increase in complexity and range a full gamut of lighting, rendering, and compositing scenarios.
