So feel free to pick and choose as it makes sense for you. FuseFX artist Kevin Pinga’s current VFX reel shows Houdini’s power to simulate real-world fluids like smoke and liquids. Most of our courses are designed to give you specific skills required for different VFX projects (Water, Magic, etc.). If you are an experienced Houdini Artist, or if you already have an intermediate-level knowledge of the software, you can pick and choose any course on the site. By the end of this course, you will have an intermediate level of Houdini knowledge. If you are already familiar with Houdini, we recommend taking Introduction to Houdini for FX. This course is designed to be an overview of the essential techniques required to work on realistic FX in a modern studio pipeline. Do not try to set up a whitewater simulation from. If you are a beginner or new to VFX, we recommend taking our Houdini Fundamentals course. Whitewater enhances the look of fluid animation with secondary effects such as spray, foam, and bubbles. We have an interactive quiz that you can take to figure out the best course for your skill level.
