Anime FX in Houdini & Nuke is a deep dive into creating stylized, anime-inspired visual effects using industry-standard tools.

A NOTE FROM ANTON
Why I created this workshop
Ever since I started my journey in 3D, I’ve wanted to recreate the stylized effects I grew up watching in anime. My goal has always been to capture the hand-drawn look and feel while taking advantage of modern 3D workflows.
This workshop brings together the techniques, experiments, and workflows I’ve developed over the years to get as close as possible to that aesthetic. My hope is that it gives you the foundation to create your own stylized FX with confidence, while encouraging you to push the style even further.
