Houdini School HS-111: History of Houdini Systems

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.

Students will leave this class with a fundamental understanding of how Houdini works, as well as an appreciation of how the industry has evolved around the VFX industry.
