Rebelway – Sci-Fi FX In Houdini Weeks 1 to 6

in this course, you’ll learn how to master Houdini intricate Sops & Dops based workflows to create well balanced & scifi themed FX.

• WEEK 1
• Course overview, project setup, and workflow for developing the robot cloaking FX.
• WEEK 2
• Continue developing the cloaking FX with pyro transitions, lightning FX, and particle advection. Set up LOPs render passes and conduct RnD compositing using Copernicus.
• WEEK 3
• Create FX layers for shot 9, including tracer fire using PrimUV’s, muzzle flash fire from volumes, and debris and sparks from particles.
• WEEK 4
• Continue developing shot 9 with thruster emitter volume and animation, thruster pyro simulation, and LOPs render setup for the generated FX.
• WEEK 5
• Develop procedural shield geometry, create shield destruction using RBDs, design custom pyro emitter, and integrate pyro and particle advection.
• WEEK 6
• Create laser beam FX layers, implement ground destruction with RBDs, design custom lightning using VOPs and VEX, and craft shockwave FX with pyro and particle advection.
