Are you an educator looking to empower your students and to build a program that will impress the industry? We want to support you in all the ways we think matter, including instructor guides and office hours.
Product Details SideFX hosts Houdini Office Hours on a biweekly basis. These are regular sessions where you can ask questions or get tips and tricks about Houdini. Each session typically ranges from 1-1.5 h in duration. Example files are linked at the top of the list of all units. This is less of a course and just more of a repository of the Houdini Office Hours sessions. Here, we cover many topics in a casual discussion style format. Office Hours are every Wednesday with rotating times so that we can accommodate your time zones. Check the schedule below for upcoming sessions, and if you miss a session we post the recordings on Houdini Insight.
