What You Will Learn?

  • Hello and welcome to this magical fx course. We are going to create magical butterfly FX in Houdini..
  • Some Of The Topics Covered In This Course.
  • Creating Geometry With Alpha Maps.
  • Procedural Animation With CHOPs (Channel Operators).
  • Soft Body Simulations With Vellum.
  • Forcing Vellum Constraint To Follow Animation.
  • Particles Simulation.
  • Shading Particles With Image Texture.
  • Particles Advection.
  • Smoke Simulation.
  • Working Inside Solaris/LOPs.
  • Working With MaterialX Shaders.
  • Rendering With Karma XPU.
  • Compositing In After Effects.
  • First we will start with creating the butterfly wings and then we are going use the chops to create wings procedural flapping animation..
  • We will use vellum to simulate butterfly wings and after that we will use particles simulation to emit particles from butterfly wings..
  • we will learn how to color our particles with image texture..
  • we will create smoke simulation and use the smoke simulation velocities to advect our particles..
  • we will learn how to import all our scene in to LOPs Solaris for lighting and shading and for rendering..
  • we will learn how to use the Karma XPU to render our magical fx..
  • And we will finish our course of by composting inside of after effects..
  • we will learn how we can import our rendered sequence and passes in the correct OCIO color space..
  • this course is for anyone who is looking to polish their houdini skills and want to add magical fx in their portfolio..
  • We got lot to cover so without further ado let's get to it.
