Houdini "How Did They Do That?" Case Study Series Workshop

VanArts is proud to present a special pro-level Houdini Software Workshop, delivered by expert CG artist Raymond Corbett.

This workshop is comprised of a series of 4 courses for students, industry professionals, and visual effects artists alike who are interested in exploring how Houdini, the award winning special effects package for Side Effects Software, is being used to create visual effects by the top post-production houses worldwide. For maximum benefit, it is recommended that students take all 4 courses in the series, but they can also be taken individually. 

UPDATE: The remaining 3 sessions on March 6, 13 & 20 are available for a bundle package price of $750! (Savings of $75)

All courses are held on the weekend (Saturdays).

Perhaps you have always wanted to get some hands-on experience with this award winning software, or, you are an industry professional looking to acquire new skills or round out your current skills set. That's exactly what these intensive, 8-hour, hands-on courses have been designed for, each presented in a highly effective case study format.
