Hi everyone,

I am new here. I decided to start learning Houdini and want to become a professional artist.

Is there SideFX Houdini Certifications which I can set my goal to pass when I achieve certain level? If yes, I could not find an official certification program and please provide the link.

Another question is, how is it is to find a job as a Houdini artist. Is there demand in this field? Or, to become a tutor / trainer?

I started with a soccer ball official learning video. Do you think it is a good idea? Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Hi,

I wouldn't bother with certification. Just focus on your portfolio and reel based on the area you want to specialize if you want to be a specialist, for example FX.

Based on that chosen area, just gather the best educational courses you can find (free and/or paid) and start going through those and go from there.
