We choose Houdini because it is a node-based procedural software that offers immense flexibility and control over complex simulations and visual effects.
Our students start by learning the fundamental concepts of Houdini, such as its node-based workflow, procedural modeling with both VEX code and VOP context, and the use of attributes and variables.
Then the program covers a wide range of topics, including FX with particle systems (POP Solver), rigid body dynamics (RBD Solver), and pyro simulations (Pyro Solver) and Character FX with cloth dynamics simulations (Vellum Solver) and grooming. It allows them to create realistic visual effects like explosions, smoke, fire, water, and realistic simulations of physical phenomena.
Throughout the program, students engage in group projects and assignments, putting their knowledge into practice and developing a portfolio of impressive CGI and VFX work.They graduate with the ability to create awe-inspiring visual effects, bringing imagination to life and captivating audiences with their stunning creations.
