Master Growth FX

Houdini’s procedural nature and powerful simulation tools make it the ideal choice for creating organic growth effects.

Its ability to define rules and behaviors for particles and simulations allows artists to generate intricate and realistic growth patterns, from vines and trees to intriciate circuit board patterns.

Course overview

What you will learn

Advanced Particles

Learn advanced particles setups to drive the main geometry build up. Explore deep concepts such as timers, solvers & VEX.

Vector manipulation

Use different VEX functions to completely control the direction we want to achieve. Learn different ways to combine and art direct vectors.

Look Development

After setting up materials with the textures that you’ve been provided with, we then take a look at creating custom AOV’s and exporting different attributes and textures as separate passes.

Compositing Magic

Recreate the beauty pass by splitting up all the AOV’s and putting them back together. After we add the custom passes as well, we set up the depth of field effect and add our volumetric effects.

STUDENT SHOWCASE

Nothing is possible without the support of our amazing students and community. Here are some of the best works from our students.

I’ve always admired sci-fi and magical style works, and Voxyde’s recent courses perfectly match my taste! Even though I’m already a senior artist working with Houdini, I found this workshop very helpful. It provided practical solutions for lightning FX and demonstrated how to composite such effects in Nuke.

Having collaborated with Voxyde on many projects, I can confidently say he consistently pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in Houdini. His ability to deliver high-quality FX work under extremely tight deadlines is remarkable. It’s no surprise that his journey with Voxyde has been so successful, and it’s great to see him now sharing his knowledge and helping so many students grow.

I want to thank Rez for the amazing video’s. Creating such a result is a boost to my confidence and skill in Houdini. I will for certain have to go back and rewatch some of the video’s when working on the extra exercise but that is to be expected from a beginner doing this course.

Just finished the course. I would like first of all to thank  you are amazing teacher and even a better artist! I come from real time VFX and this is my first time working on an actual cinematic.

Even though that I had never used Nuke in my life, the way the things are explained is just amazing.

Once again thank you.

Nikifor Milchev

I have to say thanks for this course. It’s one of the best tutorials I’ve done, full of tips and tricks for building a complete scene from scratch to final render.

I love these generalist tutorials–wish there were more courses like this one. Congrats!
