Anime FX in Houdini & Nuke is now available. A structured guide to stylized FX using industry level tools. Dive deep into simulations, real-time FX, and advanced compositing. Launch pricing ends March 8. Use code ANIFX30

Truth to this in VFX. You are up against very passionate people who live and breathe their craft. If you don't put in the hours you won't be able to get to the level necessary to break in.

24 Hours Left. The launch discount for Houdini for Generalists ends tomorrow. Build 6 complete projects and learn practical workflows for procedural modeling, simulations, VEX, rendering, and scene creation.

Thanks @janhebein for the tutorial! I've been learning Houdini for a while but was always intimidated by Karma rendering. Your tutorial showed me that even simple lighting and settings can produce great results. Really appreciate it! #houdini

Since launching the course, it's been great seeing artists from different backgrounds join. Motion designers, environment artists, VFX artists, and people looking to deepen their understanding of Houdini. 🔥 The launch discount ends in 3 days. Use code HG25 for 25% off before the offer expires.

What is a Houdini Generalist? One of the biggest mistakes artists make is treating software as the objective. In reality, every project is a problem to solve. Sometimes the solution is procedural. Sometimes it isn't. Sometimes the smartest setup is a complex system. Sometimes it's surprisingly simple. The important question isn't: "How can I make this more technical?" It's: "What does this project actually need?" Over the years, working on personal projects, studio work, and challenges like Mardini taught Jan that the artists who improve the fastest aren't necessarily the ones who know the most nodes. They're the ones who finish projects. They make decisions. They iterate. They learn from complete cycles of idea → execution → result. That's what being a generalist means to Jan. Not doing everything. Not being average at everything. But understanding enough areas to move a project forward and make informed creative and technical decisions.

6 Full Projects. Just Houdini. One of the best ways to learn Houdini is by building complete projects from start to finish. In Houdini for Generalists, you'll create: • Planets Orbit - Learn VEX by art directing a solar system • Galactic Rocket - Procedural modeling and Pyro simulations • Clay Environment - Stylized environment creation, materials, lighting • Threads Disintegration - Procedural knit patterns and animated transforms • Fonts! - Typography generation, custom simulations, and cinematic lighting • Jenga Collapse - Art-directable RBD workflows and controlled destruction Each project focuses on practical workflows that can be applied well beyond the scene itself.

got a few questions and dms about the course. this is not about big studio pipelines or super advanced setups. it is about the exact workflow i used over the last few years for client work, studio projects, and personal pieces. a mix of procedural thinking, quick direct modeling, simple setups, and knowing when to optimize versus when to just move fast. this is also the workflow that helped me win Mardini twice, and a big reason why people hire me. if you have any questions, just ask me :)

Houdini for Generalists is now available on Voxyde. Learn how to build complete Houdini scenes using fast, scalable, and production-friendly workflows. 6 projects covering: • Procedural modeling • Simulations • Lighting & rendering • Materials & lookdev • VEX workflows • Scene assembly 🔥 Use code HG25 for 25% off until June 6.

New course coming soon on @VoxydeVFX Houdini for Generalists More previews soon :) Enrollment opens May 27.

Awesome job!! Hopw you enjoyed it

Quick reminder that the Spring Sale ends in 24 hours. If you’ve been thinking about joining, this is the best moment to do it before pricing returns to normal. This will be the last site-wide sale until Black Friday much later in the year. Hope to see you inside the courses and in the Discord.

Ending soon, don't miss 20% off on all courses!

A new update has just been added to the Particle FX Workshop: Blade Erosion FX In this project, we create a complete shot from scratch of a blade peeling away through dark, high-tech energy to reveal a corrupted version underneath. The update covers: - advanced particle workflows through VEX - vellum peeling and disintegration effects - custom procedural masks through instancing - advanced look development and compositing techniques This update is completely free for everyone already enrolled in the workshop. And if you’ve been thinking about joining, the Spring Sale is currently live with 20% off all courses until May 12.

Learning Houdini isn’t hard because of nodes. It’s hard because most people learn it without structure. - random tutorials - disconnected setups - no real progress A proper workflow changes everything. Spring Sale - 20% off on all courses Ends 12th May
