New to Houdini?

Houdini is the industry standard for complex visual effects for film. Along with its powerful particle and dynamics simulation capabilities, Houdini also sports tools for modeling, animation, rendering, and compositing.
Houdini's workflow differs that of most mainstream 3D applications in that it focuses on the concept of procedural development. Each task you perform in Houdini builds upon what was done before, creating a network of commands and operations that span through the history of your scene's creation. Users can make changes at any point along this network, even back to the beginning, and see those changes propagate to the final scene.
While this much technical power can seem intimidating to some, 3D Buzz can help you get the understanding you need to truly master this this workflow and get the most out of your Houdini experiece. Start learning with 3D Buzz Video Training and unleash your imagination with this powerful 3D animation tool.
