Campus VFX

Campus VFX provides courses in FX and Compositing using Houdini and Nuke, respectively. The FX course provides an intensive tour of several major FX categories, including destruction using bullet, Vellum, FLIP, particles, and Pyro, among other topics. The goal is to provide in-depth instruction in a studio-like environment so that a graduating student can pass painlessly into a proper studio setting, providing you the skills necessary to work within the VFX industry.

This training is delivered through two focused 5.5-month programs: the Intro Program, which covers Geometry, Vellum, RBD, and Particles, and the Advanced Program, which dives deeper into Particles, Pyro, and FLIP. Together, they reflect the structure and rigor of a full-year curriculum, but in a modular format that offers more flexibility for students.

Launching in Fall 2025, the VFX Essentials Program introduces students to the full VFX pipeline. About one-third of the course is dedicated to Houdini training in Geometry, Procedural Modeling, RBD, Particles, and Vellum. It is designed to help artists build foundational skills, explore different career paths in VFX, and make informed decisions about their future specialization.
