This Course Helps You Build Portfolio-Level VFX With Houdini & EmberGen

Taught by Diana Simonyan, a VFX Artist with 3 years of industry experience who has contributed to multiple games, including Baldur's Gate 3, this course is an ideal starting point for aspiring VFX Artists.

Over 8 weeks, you'll get hands-on experience with EmberGen, Houdini, and LiquiGen, creating explosion flipbooks, simulating ground shattering, and exploring advanced liquid simulations. You'll also learn how to use VAT, apply the six-point lighting technique, and work with motion vectors in Unreal Engine, before combining everything inside the Sequencer. By the end of the course, you'll have two portfolio-ready VFX pieces, each with elemental variations.

This is a hybrid course combining live sessions with pre-recorded lessons. Committing at least around 12 hours per week should give you enough time to watch the lectures and complete the assignments.

You'll be provided with licenses for both Houdini and EmberGen, which you can use throughout the bootcamp. Class assignments and the exclusive lecture series will remain accessible for one year after the course ends. Also, the complimentary VFX-A All Access subscription is included as a bonus and will be available for three months following the first live session.

The Houdini & EmberGen Real-Time VFX Simulation Course begins on August 13th. Seats are limited, so be sure to register early to secure your spot.
