COURSE OVERVIEW
In this Houdini FX course, you will develop the skills you need to get up and running. You'll get the most out of this course when you're brand new to Houdini FX, but still have a basic understanding of general 3D concepts. We will start with the first time you ever launch Houdini and walk through creating an awesome 3D model based on nodes. Along the way, you will learn some of the most powerful aspects of this node-based software such as the key concepts of the Houdini user interface, basic geometry manipulation and polygon modeling. We will also explore how to import geometry, create custom user interfaces, apply materials and manipulate UVs. We will get our feet wet in each step of the pipeline, including modeling, animation, dynamics, lighting and rendering to construct a FX shot using rigid bodies and fractured geometry. By the end of this Houdini FX training, you will be able to dive into the science, engineering and other industries with confidence.
Modeling
Modeling techniques
Every 3D object that is displayed in a 3D scene is made up of a 3D mesh that can be created using a wide range of techniques. We will explore main modeling techniques.
Animation
Key Animation
This part of course is everything about from how to set up our animation preferences and create key frames, to learning how animation can be modified from Houdini FX Time Slider and Graph Editor.
Simulation
Houdini Pyro FX
You'll learn the fundamental concepts of Pyro Solver to create multiple fire-based effects and examine the individual parts that make up a Pyro simulation.
Visual Development
The lighting of a project is one of the most important aspects to master if you wish to achieve an appealing, good-looking, realistic render. Mastering the basic concepts is not only necessary but an important part of a good foundation. In this part you will learn how to create and set different light types.
Rendering
Preparing Scenes
Throughout these part we'll delve into the key concepts and techniques of composition, placing and moving cameras.
