In these two videos, you?ll learn how to make production ready user friendly tools that will captivate your audience time and time again. Since Houdini is way more than just a 3D application, you will see it from a framework point of view. You`ll understand how you can solve any kind of situation you might encounter, using the tools in ways they were never dreamed to perform in that way. As a testament of the power and flexibility of Houdini, we?ll try to keep it simple and understandable by encapsulating some very interesting areas of Houdini. When you?re done with this set, you?ll have several tools to use, and have lots of ideas of how approach and develop your own tools. To call it Magic, is a true understatement. How can you put a guarantee on perfection?

Brief Introduction
Welcome to the highly anticipate “HIP Tricks” video set, created by CMIVFX and Varomix. A partnership like no other, this joint venture shows the true comradery that is a true CG pipeline. There is a reason that cmiVFX stands alone in the high end market?. IT’S NOT EASY TO DO! However true, we take pride in our sadistic need to provide the latest and greatest training in our industry so that digital entertainers can tell their story. We will work with ANYONE that has something fantastic to offer? wether it is a student half way around the world, or another training company that wants to work with us on a video title. We will always pull together with the right people to make the best training the world has to offer. Expect great things? ALWAYS!

A Hip Autopsy
In this first volume you will learn how to dissect any Houdini Hip scene, and figure out how that scene is put together. This is great for exploring sample scenes, other artists scenes to assist you in the creation of your own. We will also go over some tips to make your projects more solid and show you were you can get help from the great Houdini Artist Community.

Feather Tool
For this chapter set we will build a hero feather system used for close-up shots. This tool will give the artist total control using Houdini’s ramp widgets so that it makes for a great user experience. In the process we’ll learn how to map ramp parameters to control parameters of our tool.

Earthquake and Fischer Cracks.
In this section we will create a multi-purpose ground cracking tool, putting special attention on making it easily modifiable, and in realtime. The art of making it solid and getting predictable result, doesn’t mean that its simple. The final result is a very high end production ready tool that can be used in many scenarios. This chapter alone is work the price of the entire volume set.

Alvaro Castaneda
Alvaro Castaneda, best known as “Varomix” is a 33 years old CG Generalist TD. He lost a little of his self back in 1993 at a Jurassic Park screening, and that totally changed his life. Toy Story finished the job in 1995 – there was no turning back!. He started his way in 3D back in 1998, first using 3ds Max, then Cinema4D and finally in 1999, I met Maya 2.0. Since then I’ve done CGI for print, web, TV, Film, DVD, I guess anything that has pixels in it!. He started using Houdini in 2002 shortly after Side Effects launched the Houdini Apprentice Program. He had also done on-set VFX Supervision and DOP Assisting. He’ll soon move to Toronto to continue his career as a Houdini Generalist.

Project files are included

Hip Tricks Volume 2 has much to offer the future or current FX TD, in robust ways of showcasing inventive research and development technology. We go all out, showing you how to achieve new and interesting tools, so you can continue to create and wow the general public with your accomplishments. The content in this video is based on years of fulfilling user requests, and taking those requests to new levels. When it comes to high end CG and VFX training, there is only once choice… cmiVFX!

Row Row Row Your Boat
Using Houdini Ocean Tools plug-in (HOT), we’ll create and ocean that emits foam and splashes. We then we’ll add a ship that floats on the ocean in which the movement of the ship will be driven by the ocean. Once we do that, we’ll use the floating, moving ship to deform the ocean as it advances and emits spray at collisions with the waves.

Pixelated Game
Believe it or not, we’ll will build a complete playable game inside Houdini, using out-of-the-box tools and a little bit of Python code. This project is a real statement that Houdini can do just about everything that you can throw at it. Don’t think of Houdini as a 3D app, think of it as a 3D Operating System.

In this course we will get started with Houdini Digital Assets and learn how to use them
Along with building a complex light rig, the following lessons will show the advantages to using digital assets and the knowledge you gain will be critical in other Houdini projects especially in the realm of character rigging. By making your nodes reusable with digital asset, you can save a lot of time and really take advantage of the procedural nature of Houdini.

SideFX Houdini Master 10.0.595 for Windows x32Bit & x64Bit

SideFX Houdini Master – a powerful program for modeling and creating special effects, while a functional set of 3D graphics. The program allows you to produce complex images without the need for additional plug-ins or a group of programmers. Film industry can rely on Houdini Master to creating incredible video effects and animation. Among the innovations the tenth version is worth noting the possibility of using multiple computers together within a local area network, to simulate the behavior of fluids, Pyro FX, new tools for creating smoke and fire, technology, Interactive Photorealistic Rendering (IPR) to quickly view the changes being made in light of three-dimensional scenes, work with the stereoscopic data. Houdini Master is the availability of tools for creating dynamic and visual effects with particles.

Features:
Houdini Master is a full-featured 3D animation and
visual effects software renowned for its node-based procedural workflow. Houdini Master is indispensible for visual effects artists and technical directors (TDs) and includes a fully unified dynamics environment. Houdini Escape is a complete 3D modeling, animation, lighting, rendering and compositing package that works well on its own or with Houdini Master. Houdini Escape includes strong character animation features such as
powerful auto-rigging and muscle tools.
Interoperability: Use Houdini Master to set up sophisticated particle and physical effects, then view and render them in Houdini Escape. Encapsulate those effects into Houdini Digital Assets, and you can bring them into Houdini Escape as interactive artist tools.

What’s new in Houdini 10:

Dynamics:
The new Pyro FX shelf tools let you create production-quality smoke and fire effects quickly. The shelf tools are backed by new DOP nodes (Pyro solver), SOP nodes (DOP I/O surface node), and a very flexible, production material (Pyro material). More information.
You can now divide the work of a fluid simulation and distribute it to multiple networked computers.
The wire, fluid, and cloth solvers are now faster due to multi-threading and/or algorithmic improvements.

Motion FX:
Motion FX allows you to easily add CHOPs effects to parameters using the parameter?s menu. More information.
You can add effects to objects using the Lag Object and Jiggle Object tools on the Animation shelf tab.

Fur:
You can now create a clear part line in combed fur by using the Add Parting tool on the shelf.
Replaced parameters on the Fur Object for specifying how thickness, frizz, and color vary along the length of each hair with ramps.

Network usability:
The network editor now has a toolbar to allow easier access to network functionality. Use the network editor?s Gear menu to turn the toolbar off.
Sticky notes in the network. Press Ctrl + P to create a new note. More information.
You can now nest network boxes inside each other.
Improvements to wiring.
Shaking a node disconnects it.
Dropping a node onto a wire connects it. Hold ? Shift to connect the next free input instead of the first one. This new behavior is disabled if you turn selectable wires off in the main preferences.
Dropped nodes now automatically snap to line up with their parents and siblings.
Holding ? Shift while dragging a node will move it with its children, and holding ? Shift + Ctrl will move the node with its parents. You can also turn on a checkbox called Move Tiles With Their Children on the Network editor page of the main preferences, which automatically move it together with its children.
You can now press B in the network editor to quickly set/unset the bypass flag on the node under the mouse pointer. Press ? Shift + B to set/unset the bypass flags on the selected nodes.
You can now use the HOUDINI_NODE_WIDTH environment variable to control the width of nodes in the network editor. The variable is a multiple of the flag width.
The ?current? node (the node displayed in the parameter editor) is now marked in the network editor with a dark outline when it?s not selected.

General usability:
Motion Effects let you very easily override a parameter with a CHOP network, allowing you to quickly apply an effect such as jitter or overshoot. More information.
There is now stereoscopic viewing in the viewport, a stereo camera rig, stereoscopic rendering in ROPs, and stereoscopic MPlay and IPR viewing. The stereo camera rig is also on the Lights and Cameras tab of the shelf. More information.
Better display and manipulation performance.
Multi-line editor fields, such as on the Code tab in the type properties window, now feature a toolbar with common editing functions.
Expression evaluation is now faster.

Shading and rendering:
The render view now supports fast previews that update as you change parameters. More information.
New production-quality Pyro shader. More information.
New occlusion materials. Useful for general occlusion passes, occlusion-for-compositing passes, or simple colored/textured type occlusion renders. More information.
New Simple Ramp material in the palette, which makes for a useful x-ray or toon type material. More information.
VOP networks now automatically convert datatypes when possible. You can middle-click an auto-converted connection and choose to create an explicit conversion node.
The PBR rendering engine is now implemented in VEX. This allows you to export deep raster variables in PBR and to use a shader to control PBR rendering.
You can now export deep raster planes such as direct_diffuse (Direct lighting, diffuse component) and direct_glossy (Direct lighting, glossy component) from PBR.
Better filtering of shadow maps (also in 9.5).

New shelf tools:
The new Pyro FX shelf tab contains new pyro effects tools.
There are two new Cloth shelf tools.
Elastic Object is useful for simulating objects that try to regain their original shapes after a collision, such as a rubber ball.
Dentable Object is useful for simulating objects that do not try to regain their original shapes after a collision, such as a crushed can.
There is a new Animation shelf tab.
Lag Object uses Motion FX to add lag to an object.
Jiggle Object uses Motion FX to add jiggle to an object.
The Freeze transforms tool pushes an object?s Scene-level transforms down into a Transform surface node at the geometry level.
The Knife tool lets you interactively split polygons along a drawn line.
The Edge loop tool lets you easily insert a loop of edges in quad polygon geometry.

Other improvements:
Mac port is faster and more reliable.
HOM is more completely implemented and better documented.
Many improvements and new options in FBX translation.
The context menu for parameters is now defined by an editable XML file.
New Houdini Dark color scheme available in the color settings menu.
Scripts can now disable ramp parameters.
Bug fixes and optimizations.
