Unlocking the Magic Workshop | DoubleJump

Join our new workshop, "Unlocking the Magic of Houdini," led by Jordan Allen. This workshop will be your ultimate beginners guide to Houdini. We will start by looking at the fundamentals that drive Houdini by exploring the terminology and UI to get a better sense of how the software operates under the hood.

From there we dive right into project based explorations of procedural modeling, particle simulation, rigid body destruction, pyro simulation, liquid simulation, vellum soft body, cloth and hair simulation , character rigging, animation and full crowd simulation!  

This course will take you from your very first click through building fully realized, textured, lit, and rendered final products with an emphasis on helping you decode how Houdini “thinks”, all from the perspective of an artist. Upon completion you should have a comprehensive understanding of the many major paths you can take as an artist in the software, and will be ready to continue your adventure deeper into Houdini!
