This workshop will introduce you to the art of creative problem solving in Houdini. Problem solving is such a key aspect of being an FX Artist, but it can be easy to get tunnel vision when it comes to approaching tasks - using conventional tools and workflows for one task may not always be the best solution for the next. This workshop aims to show you that there are plenty of options available to you when it comes to problem-solving, if you can learn to think outside the box like an FX Technical Director.
