In this unique course, Machine FX's Sean Lewkiw walks you through the fundamentals of Houdini.


  • First, you get "How to Eat an Elephant," -- Strategies for learning Houdini, or actually, learning anything!
  • Then you get "An Introduction to the Houdini Interface," for complete newbies.
  • And finally, you get "Building a Simple Molecule HDA" -- this is a great intro to Houdini and at the end of the lesson, you will have built a nice little swarming animation.

SEAN LEWKIW

I have almost 30 years of VFX production experience as a VFX Supervisor, DFX Supervisor, CG Supervisor and Houdini FX artist. My credits include Lord of the Rings, Superman Returns, Golden Compass, Watchmen, Mazerunner, and many many more, and stints at Weta, DNEG, Method, Framestore, Cinesite and others. Please see my IMDB profile at https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0507909/ I have extensive teaching experience as both Lead FX Instructor at Lostboys School of VFX in Montreal, and I am currently Head of CG for Onboarding (new hire training) at Cinesite. I focus on the fundamentals, so that you understand what you are doing and why you are doing it -- that you can take what you learned and actually use it to create new content. I have also been using Houdini since its inception, way way back in the before days. I still love what I do and hope to keep on doing it for many years to come!
