Magical FX

Class Description:
This recorded course gives students a solid understanding of how to create Magical FX in Houdini, utilizing the power of particles, fluids, procedural geometry manipulation, as well as lighting and rendering. This class will be going over different magical FX case studies both in a theoretical and practical hands-on style. Each class will be connected to a specific project and case study that we will be recreating and rendering out as a demo reel piece. This course is designed so anyone with good fundamentals of Houdini SOPs and DOPs knowledge will be able to easily follow and recreate the FX and achieve nice-looking renders that you can put into your demo reel.
