This course is ideal to anyone wanting to transition from Maya & Ziva to using Houdini as-well as Houdini experts wanting to dive deeper into Skin, Tissue, Fascia and Muscle Simulation in Houdini.
The course material was prepared with production and high-quality assets that will be included as part of the course material along with the various animation caches shown in the trailer to give our students the best learning experience that mimics a studio working environment.
Carlos will share his production-proven workflow used on feature films and TV shows, covering advanced techniques with Vellum and SOP-level tools to create realistic skin wrinkling, jiggling, and efficient skin sliding effects.
Note: This course includes a nice transition guide for Maya user who are brand new to Houdini.
