Increase your skillset and get the job with this project-based guide for artists looking to make the leap from Maya to Houdini. This frustration-free roadmap also offers solutions for integrating the two apps, allowing you to take your creativity to the next level.
Written by a seasoned visual effects veteran, this book is laced with practical projects and examples straight from the front-lines of visual effects production. Author Kevin Mannens himself had to switch from Maya to Houdini, so he knows the pain-points, and shows you how to avoid them.
Topics include:
- the core architecture of Maya and how it translates in Houdini
- How Houdini differs from Maya, and how they are the same
- How Maya and Houdini can integrate and how they do at some of the upper-echelon feature film studios
- How Maya/Houdini can supplement Houdini/Maya
Each chapter is an actual project, and the files included with the DVD allow you to work alongside each and every lesson in the book.
