Become An FX Artist Using Houdini

We will start from the basics and once we got the fundamentals coverd we will be moving on to create some fun and practical projects. We will start from the houdini SOPs land and once we got the confident working with SOPs then we will jump into DOPs houdini dynamic operators land understand the basics of houdini dynamics and create more complex FX projects.
