The primary aim of this training is to provide a project that will take the viewer through as much of Houdini as possible'. Letting them utilize all the various tools that Houdini provides for modeling and VFX to generate a detailed environment.

Over the course of the training we shall cover a variety of topics such as, polygonal modeling, procedural modeling, terrain building using heightfields, modeling vegetation, modeling using VDB, detailed instancing, learning how to simulate smoke in Houdini, using the new Vellum solver to simulate dust, grass and cloth and rendering the final scene.

The rendering section covers Redshift and Octane. 

NOTE: The first 3 parts of the training, which cover building the scene, can be done in any variant of Houdini, Apprentice, Indie or FX.

The rendering section will require Houdini Indie at the minimum, since Apprentice does not support third party plugins.
