This VFX education is tailored for those who already have a good sense of colour, shape and a burning interest in working within digital visual special effects (VFX) in computer games, film, TV series and advertising - alternatively in visualisation for architecture and technology.
With us you will find the perfect mix of projects and education, which offers the best of both worlds - giving room for your own creativity. The core loop within our education is that you will learn first how to operate the programs, then apply the knowledge within a related project in order to cement the knowledge. With us you will have your own workstation with around the clock access in a calm environment with access to our greenscreen and motion capture studio.
Our VFX artist - for games and film education starts with a year of generalistic knowledge where houdini is introduced in the second semester, how it is used in a pipeline with unreal engine and other programs as well as how to navigate the program learning the basics of procedural modelling. For the second year the students can choose either 3D or compositing where if the student choses 3D they will mainly be working with houdini. In the second houdini course you will learn how to use POP’s, VEX and create effects towards a film project, in which the houdini effects will be composited with the help of the composting class. For the 3rd houdini course we dive deeper into simulations such as RBD, Pyro, fluids etc as well as taking a closer look at Solaris workflows.
We created this to give you a jumpstart into your VFX career. Our teachers are very committed to the task which will inspire, support and push you to achieve the results that the industry demands.
