“Velocity Forces 2.0: Advanced” is an in-depth class expanding on “ Velocity Forces 1.0”. It delves deeper into creating velocity fields, exploring the differences between Houdini Standard Volumes and OpenVDB volumes.

The course focuses on techniques to help you refine velocity fields, blend multiple fields together, and use alternative simulation outputs for unique movement. You'll learn how to create vorticles, enhance simulations with wake turbulence forces, as well as injecting extra detailed motion into low-resolution smoke sims. Additionally, this class will cover volume optical flow fields on both 2D planar and 3D geometry, plus utilizing the Potential Flow node for 3D surface advection.

This class will also show how to move beyond volume-based fields into dynamic VEX coding, reducing the volume caching overhead, while also tackling advanced mathematical concepts, from matrices and quaternions to cross products and vector math.

In this recorded course, students will be shown how to build and process Protein Data Bank data inside of Houdini. They will learn how to understand atomic values, visualize atomic elements, bonds between elements, information about residues and binding sites, as well as other protein information. There will also be a visual element for breaking down the different systems inside of biological proteins.

This recorded course provides an overview of the MOPs workflow and how it integrates with the rest of Houdini, shows concrete examples of how MOPs can be used in both motion graphics and visual effects workflows and dives into some of the fundamental math concepts that drive MOPs (and 3D animation as a whole!).

The all-in-one stop for all things constraints. This recorded course will dive into understanding the purpose, construction, manipulation, application, and destruction of using constraints in the RBD context. Topics will cover both traditional and custom ways to create constraints to fit the needs of the scene, including building constraints from scratch to achieve full control to art direct behaviors in your simulations.

You will leave the course with a better understanding of FLIP simulations for unique shot cases, including the advantages and disadvantages inherent in these scenarios.

This recorded course provides a way for artists to learn and develop an intuition for utilizing mathematical tools in their work using industry-standard programs and methods. This course will not only showcase ways of utilizing math in Houdini but also focus on developing a mindset to solve new problems using math. Students will also learn some math-related tips and tricks to optimize their pre-rendered or real-time projects.

Students will leave this class with a fundamental understanding of different ways in which tools from Mathematics can be utilized for Motion Graphics, Shader Building, and Gameplay Programming. Students will learn to optimize some of their existing setups using Mathematics.

Do you want to expand your skillset and broaden your CG horizons? Want to dive into Houdini but don’t know where to start? Then this recorded course is for you! We’ll be walking through the foundations of Houdini, referencing Cinema 4D as we go. Once we’ve mastered how to use attributes to manipulate geometry, we’ll look at how to recreate some of C4D’s Mograph with procedural setups by leveraging the new tools in Houdini.

This recorded class is a technical session on working with various different scientific data types in Houdini. Topics covered include data wrangling, Houdini-friendly formats like Geo/Bgeo and OpenVDB, Houdini-unfriendly but common scientific data representations like Adaptive Mesh Refinement, and spatial and temporal data interpolation. This will be an introduction to the data and programming side of Houdini, with less focus on design or rendering.

This recorded course introduces students to the history of Houdini and how the software has developed over time. Learning how the software operates is a huge part of becoming a VFX artist. But understanding how the operators and the networks evolved over time is a plus. In this course, we will discuss certain tools inside of Houdini, and how they grew into the SOPs, DOPs, and other functions we know today.

Solver Madness is a Houdini course focusing on creating sophisticated dynamic effects. Students will explore methods for chaining, layering, and combining simulations using Sopsolvers, FLIP fluids, Pyro, VDB advection, and multiple POP simulations. The course covers techniques for transforming geometry into effervescent bubbles and shaping FLIP fluids through surface advection. Participants will learn to build efficient, art-directable simulations that leverage a wide range of Houdini's solvers. This hands-on course emphasizes practical application and creative problem-solving in design and visual effects creation.
