underrated comment

It look like a big commercial for you and your students. Thought I will learn something by the name of video. Should subscribe at your school otherwise we will never learn Houdini, right?

Great talk, definitely gonna go review and change some of my personal projects for my reel.

Every time I see a mocap dancer, I'm like ... Oh not this one again....

This is such a great presentation. Matt is one of the good ones.

The question of "How to do it right" never gets answered. I'm not here to learn about your student film.

Hope I had read your comment first instead of wasting 48min of my life lol

great after almost 50min, I still don't know how i learn houdini the right way. I just saw a 45 min commercial about student projects and 3 min about how to make good demoreel, I can't adapt because I still didn't learned anything here. (imo Eye and social are for me quite obvious)

9 months late to this, thanks Matt for the insight to what to build for demoreels! For my case, I’m always thinking “if everyone in my class does the same assignment, how then can we get hired?” Will be looking to apply techniques from future lessons to different scenarios and work more problems out!

Great presentation!

what i really dont like about siggraph videos is that when the speaker made a funny joke but I'm laughing on my own. Having a laughing track seems helpful for once.

Great tips! I have been doing all wrong! lol

Good information and the video is greatly appreciated. Not judging his teaching skills, but to me the way he's speaking makes it hard to stay interested in the content. Having industry experience or years of teaching is no substitute for presenting information in a more pleasant way for your audience. Thx for the video.

It's great to look peoples achieving this kind of this but the real problem comes to me is i can't find a proper course to get me upto the level. I will appreciate if anyone help me out and you guys start putting links. Thanks

There are a lot of courses for Houdini, you just need to look in the right place, more and more artists are posting tutorials inside Artstation, for example Simon Verstraete is one of them

i dont understand what the title has to do with the content of this video.. XD its a really advanced run-through of what they did.. a team of people .. i am sure i cant produce the same stuff as a team of people and an expert at the helm to show to a studio.. ofc the stuff done on a team and for a bigger project looks better than individual learners stuff...

what exactly were we doing wrong?

Is this a new Scatman John videoclip?

Thankfully, it's not a shit-show when you're using it. In fact, coming from 18 years of using Maya, to then using Katana, I wondered the opposite (how the f*k did we get good looking work out of that shit-show; meaning, Maya!).

______________ Maya has become terrible (or let me say stayed into the state when it was when AutoDesk bought it). It’s dated, it breaks with UI all good software design principles. It’s obvious that different pieces of software were just tagged on. Creating a MadMax like rusty vehicle. It’s beyond me why people still buy that crap.

Yea I have this problem right now with Houdini 18. I'm a beginner and I'm very interested in RBD which went through a lot of changes in H18 so the old tutorials aren't really that relevant, certainly not for the most optimized way of doing things. It would have been so nice if SideFX released some hour-long tutorials to every major change with every release because those ancient tutorials are less and less appealing.

enkeyz lets be honest, no one uses Houdini to model like you would in Blender - it’s all about programming meshes here. And yeah, the resources are dire. There are some good Udemy courses which often go on sale for 10 bucks, precisely about asset creation. Good luck dudes

Mello Blu yeah I’m sorry I definitely exaggerated, you definitely can and some people certainly do but what I’m trying to say is, Houdini isn’t really the engine people go to for “traditional” modeling. It’s more about all the stuff that you just simply cannot really easily do outside of Houdini. You definitely have the tools and can do traditional modeling though, it’s just a weird choice of a tool for it and I would imagine most people might just download Blender since it is far better for that purpose and is free. That’s if they don’t use Maya on the side or something... many people use maya and Blender simply out of habit, especially if you learned at a 3D school where they probably forced Maya down your throat. But you are definitely right 👌🏼

No you're doing it wrong!

You are not a "fancy carpenter" or an artisan grunt unless you choose to be. Animated FX is a subset of basic animation principals. It's your job to animate energy and make it look immersive and compelling. This video is full of student work.

I can tell you from professional experience that 100s of versions will get you a poor performance review. I rarely have the opportunity to do more than 10-12, and that's generous.

i like how they let their Hackneye tutorial monkies do their same as the usual grunt work on their shots. This industry is going through creative cardiac arrest. Artisans, lmfao.

Artisans "usually" know what to do and do what they're told whereas artists are typically visionaries and are often ahead/have advanced insight, the same or less skills but working with them in general can be difficult because usually working on budget there is less time for experimentation.. but the difficulty is really just like dealing with the people at the top giving new instructions, switching art or story direction etc.

complete discrepancy between the title of the video and the information in it. It should be called "how to avoid the houdini even more than before." Confusion and clutter. I suspect that that carpenter Matt Estela is a more successful lecturer and motivator. absolute demotivation.. and that inappropriate sarcasm and bombast, arrogance of the author. Art? Considering the examples of works, this is an absolute handicraft.

"My god is better than yours" kinda thing...

why i cant learn houdini in KZread or outside it ?!! really odd , how those people expect a new learner to learn from a movie have been made by university students , are you aware about the title and the content of the video ?! really a big time waste ! hope anyone can guide me with a true beginner course .

useless information...

50 min talking and he basically said nothing
