Contests are used as a next level tool for artists developing their Houdini skills. While tutorials and docs are great for learning new tools and techniques, engaging with the software on a real project results in a deeper understanding. Mardini offers the chance to create art, put it up against other people in the community and then reflect on what you have learned.

These contests can also be a great networking tool as your ability to work under tight conditions is recognized by studios looking for talent. This contest has led directly to real jobs and we are proud of that.

So dig in and make the most of this great learning opportunity. We are very excited to see what you cook up!
