This course has a clear objective: to make simple enough the complexity of Houdini, and make your first step in the way of visual effects. Also take a look at my last course, "Houdini FX - How to add Visual Effects in Real Videos", it is specifically addressed to show how to create special effects to be composited with live footage. Houdini is a very complex software and it takes months just to understand how it works. With this course, you'll learn the basic technics about Houdini's modelling and special effects. We will update the course regularly, in order to add new topics every week. The course is the result of a personal experience. When I started studying Houdini, I had great difficulty finding courses or lessons that clearly explained the steps to achieve an effect or a simulation.
It is addressed to people with little or no knowledge of Houdini, so if you are already experienced with this software, maybe the course is not fo you!
So we decided to create simple lessons that will guide you in the basic concepts of Houdini.
In this course you'll get right to the point. For each lesson, only simple and essential explanations.
You can use the lessons as a reference or a starting point to learn the basics of Houdini.
