I don't show you hollywood level huge scale effect tutorials. People always want that, but I don't believe in that. It doesn't teach you much. You spend more time on execution than on learning the underlying concepts. It's also too limited - you learn how to do effect X, but have no idea why things were done this way, what other ways there are and what the context of all of it is.
But you can always solve a problem yourself and go bigger with proper fundamentals.


What you get is production knowledge, that sometimes includes boring bits, no quick results or super fancy examples. That's the nature of the field sometimes.
My mantra is: "This is a profession, not a hobby."

Also - No, I will not be able to make you a senior FX TD. You will not get a job at ILM after this. I am not here to sell dreams, sorry.
I definitely can help you learning Houdini, but I will not promise you anything else. That's my "no bullshit" policy.
If you want unrealistic promises, look somewhere else.
If you accept that Houdini is hard to learn, takes a long time to master and can become complicated - welcome to the course!

If that's not your cup of tea, no bad feelings - there are plenty of other sources out there: other learning resources


Which topics are covered? Which aren't?
No, I'm not covering "everything". That wouldn't makes sense and would overwhelm you and me.
I am covering the common workflows of an FX TD, not CFX, nor Animation or Rigging.So let me give you a list:
