Voxyde - Great Houdini Advanced Tutorials
I know that you want to learn Houdini
Hello dear reader. It's me, Sorin, the founder of Tailed Method. In part 2 of this series, I am sharing my choice when it comes to Houdini Advanced Tutorials.
You already know that Houdini is not a Magician who takes rabbits out of his hat, no?!
There is no problem if you did not know that. Just read our other blog post: Houdini for Beginners.
Have you ever wondered, how all those special effects, that you see in movies (Cinema is the best experience!) are made? Houdini is to blame!
Or, are you a gamer who always wanted to learn how those EPIC cutscenes are created?
Maybe, you just want to create the Harry Potter Patronous Spell?!
Well, for all of these questions, there is an answer, and that is Voxyde!
The platform itself is a continuously expanding library, completely dedicated to mastering VFX with Houdini advanced tutorials
Before going further, with additional information about this platform, and why Tailed Method is promoting it as one of the best learning resources that exists at this moment, on the market, we are gonna let you watch the 26 seconds YouTube promotional clip, that will show you the Harry Potter Patronous Spell!
P.S. The Complete Tutorial is FREE and you should watch it! Just Enter on the Voxyde YouTube page, and you will be amazed!
It looked nice no?! Letting you here, the Presentation for Voxyde:
Now, I'm sure that you are convinced of this platform's quality. All the materials that are presented at Voxyde are High-Quality Ones, and Razvan is dedicated to offering you the best learning experience.
Let's take together a part of his About Section:
"The perfect day for me is being able to spend 12 hours hooking up nodes and building networks, uninterrupted."
"Everything I’ve learned over the years, and everything that I will learn in the future will be available to you 24/7. I strive to create high-quality content, all courses & tutorials are planned and edited to deliver only relevant information."
Had the chance to discuss with Razvan on LinkedIn a few times now, and learn from his experience. I can truly say that he is a dedicated mentor, who is doing his best so that everyone can learn from his tutorials. And most of all, he has passion!
I should mention the fact that a part of Voxyde's Tutorials are free, and can be seen both on Youtube & His Platform, but the other ones, the PRO tutorials, have a unique cost of only 40$ dollars per month. One subscription to unlock all courses! That's all!
Now, while these tutorials are pretty shiny, and with them, you will learn how Holywood effects are done, you should understand that most of them are for advanced users, and should be treated like that!
If you are a beginner Houdini user, you might have a hard time doing all of those tutorials by yourself, or work at the same time with Razvan.
Houdini is an impressive and powerful node-based tool, and as everyone admits, is the most powerful of them all. However, with power, a steep learning curve came, so expect these advanced tutorials to be a lot harder to make.
I know you want to learn Houdini and do all of these advanced tutorials, so this won't stop you from learning!
P.S. Razvan also has a beginner, entry-level tutorial, that you can use, and guess what... It is also FOR FREE.
OK, now go on YouTube and finish the tutorial:
I also need to go and see how the Dragon Fire Breath from Game of Thrones can be recreated in Houdini:
