VEX in Houdini (+Russian audio)

Shawn Lipowski is a specialist in dynamics and programming, and is often required to take a shot from concept to composite. He currently works for Psyop in New York as a FX Artist and previously worked for powerhouses such as Look Effects and MPC. Shawn has worked on more than 30 TV shows and feature films including Captain America: The First Avenger, Black Swan, Limitless, Speed Racer, Moonrise Kingdom and Noah. He has also been nominated for a VES award for his work on Life (2009).
In Shawn’s VEX In Houdini CGWorkshop, he will personally mentor students to use VEX to a professional level. Over 8 weeks, and more than 50 highly detailed videos, students will thoroughly explore the fastest, most powerful programming language to ever be embedded in 3D software. VEXt’s multi-threaded code is at the core of Houdini’s unparalleled procedural visual effects workflow and the code can be generated visually via a node graph.

So why write code, when you can plug and play? “We’ll answer that with examples expressed more succinctly and beautifully in pure code,” says Shawn. “But more than just teaching you the library of functions in some exhaustive exercise of rote memorization, I want to walk you through the implementation of real algorithms culled from papers and VFX projects alike.”

This is an exceptional course that will definitely take your skills to next level.
