DoubleJump Academy – Unlocking the Magic of Houdini

This workshop provides a comprehensive introduction to Houdini for beginners, starting with essential terminology and interface navigation. The course progresses through project-based explorations covering procedural modeling, particle simulation, destruction effects, pyro and liquid simulations, Vellum soft body dynamics, cloth and hair simulation, character rigging, animation, and crowd simulation.

By working through practical projects, you’ll gain hands-on experience with Houdini’s core capabilities across multiple disciplines. The structured approach ensures you build a solid foundation in the software before tackling more specialized techniques, making it suitable for artists transitioning from other 3D tools or those new to the field.
