Gnomon Houdini 101: Interface and Workflow (Houdini完全教程):

Houdini 是一个特效方面非常强大的软件。许多电影特效都是由它完成:指环王中“甘道夫”放的那些“魔法礼花”还有“水马”冲垮“戒灵”的场面......后天中的龙卷风......等等，a52的汽车广告.反正只要是涉及DD公司制作的好莱坞一线大片，几乎都会有Houdini参与和应用.



3D艺术家可以学习研究Houdini的技术和奥秘,影视,电影制作爱好者可以制作出令人惊奇的特效.此方面的教程极其罕见,不可多得!



Gnomon Workshop在SIGGRAPH发布Houdini教学:Houdini 101: Interface and Workflow

教程简介:

Designed for the experienced 3D artist new to Houdini, this disc contains
over five hours of lecture and extensive example files. With Houdini's
strong history as a high-level effects animation package, seasoned feature
film effects artist Garman Herigstad helps demystify its unique procedural
approach to creating animation. He introduces Houdini's interface to
establish familiarity with the software, and then presents its powerful
step-by-step procedural approach, which allows for great variations in
results leading ultimately to a faster production workflow. Examples include
driving animation with audio data, modifying geometry using moving image
sequences, particle animation setup, and basic shader creation. Houdini's
"Takes" versioning is also introduced. These examples can be used with the
apprentice version of the software available at www.sidefx.com.
