Hi SideFX,
I'm a newbie who decided to learn Houdini over Maya, because I believe that in spite of it being a more complex software, it offers a greater advantage overall in the many ways that it can be used. However, I have found many online schools such as AnimationMentor, ianimate, Think Tank, AnimSquad and many others who offer structured classes with live instructors & feedback to help individuals learn Maya, but I have yet to find anything like this for Houdini. Are there any options like these for Houdini? If so, where can I find them? If not, are my only options the tutorials on your website and other locations (Youtube, vimeo, etc…)? I am currently going through the Foundations pdf, and I am enjoying it tremendously. Thank you

Thank you for responding so quickly. I have seen those sites and they are basically video tutorials. I was looking for something that included personal class instruction from a mentor that is currently or previously worked in the industry. I have seen a lot of outstanding work on your website and thought that the Houdini experts would have seen the success of the online schools that I mentioned previously and upped the ante. A interactive Houdini course by industry experts would be the number one choice for individuals like me attempting to enter the VFX/Animation field. I will keep pressing on with video tutorials until someone makes this possible.

Thank you again Michael

This one is an online video…but it says you can have instructor interaction.
