New Houdini Content

By switching from a DVD-based system to streaming video, Digital-Tutors is now able to focus all their efforts on content creation which means the new system is being released with a wealth of new learning material. The new Houdini lessons include:

  • New in Houdini 10
  • Getting Started with Digital Assets in Houdini
  • Getting Started with Fur Tools in Houdini
  • Getting Started with Stereoscopy in Houdini
  • Introduction to Rigging in Houdini
  • Character Skeleton Building in Houdini
  • Character Capturing with Capture Regions
  • Character Capturing using Proximity in Houdini
  • Character Control Rig Setup in Houdini

Even more material will be released in the coming weeks.

  • Python in Houdini
  • Getting Started with Auto Rigs in Houdini
  • Houdini Ocean Toolkit
  • Creating Game Art in Houdini (and export to Torque 3D)

All of this new Houdini material will be available immediately for subscribers who choose the annual plan for $399. This plan saves you money and gives you early access to the latest material as soon as it is released. Subscribers who choose the semi-annual for $225, or the monthly plan for $45, will have to wait one month to access this new material. All subscribers will have full access to all of the existing Houdini content which covers a wide range of topics such as dynamics, rigid bodies, fluids and Mantra rendering.

In addition to all of this Houdini content, subscribers will also have access to all of Digital-Tutor’s lessons for Maya, 3ds Max, Mudbox, Softimage, and ZBrush as well as training for Fusion, MotionBuilder, Toxik, Pixel Bender, and Stitcher. Since most 3D artists use more than one application in their work, there is incredible value in this extended library. In addition, all of the Houdini material will be available to 3D artists who are learning other apps which will help expose more people to Houdini’s procedural node-based workflow.
