Houdini training partner Digital-Tutors has released INTRODUCTION TO FLUIDS IN HOUDINI, the latest release for emerging digital artists learning Houdini. INTRODUCTION TO FLUIDS IN HOUDINI offers three and half hours of practical projects for effects artists and provides production-applicable techniques and general workflows to particle-based and volume-based simulations to create realistic fire, smoke, and liquid effects with Houdini.
"In our fast-paced feature-length CG environment, the materials from Digital-Tutors have been a great asset and proven successful," Robert Blau, Technical Director Manager at LAIKA. "Their training has allowed LAIKA to get our artists up to speed quickly and efficiently in the software they use day to day," added Blau.
Highlights from INTRODUCTION TO FLUIDS IN HOUDINI include: particle-based fluids; volume-based fluids; ripple solver; viscosity; fire, smoke and liquid simulations; smoke solver; smooth particle hydrodynamics; microsolvers; visualizing simulation attributes; rendering fluids in Mantra; source, sink and pump; physical properties; rigid body dynamics; gas constant; fuel and temperature; vorticles; caching; forces and expressions; creating and painting attributes; and additional lessons developed to teach artists the essentials of fluids in Houdini.
