Фильм және анимация
We will show how we go from a model to final rig with animation in our short film in progress "Turbulence", using KineFX with Apex. Having an animation background in Maya, will talk about how to easily adjust to the workflow of Houdini and the advantages of a procedural workflow.
Magnus Møller is a Creative Director, Rigger and Co-Founder of the Danish studio Tumblehead. He has a passion for quirky characters and cartoony animation. Maya user for 14 years, Houdini user for 7 years. Dreams of making full animation productions entirely in Houdini!
Jesper Andkjær is the spear of animation and design at Tumblehead. He has many years of experience with animating in Maya. This past year he has been diving into Houdini animation tools and explored some of the many use cases. He also is Denmarks most renowned courtroom sketch artist.

Houdini is an Arsenal, i'm learning it!!!
I wish for a bit cleaner UI for animators
How could you have two viewports but one has transform handles on and the other has them off? 15:49 Is this new to H20.5? My H20 houdini doesn't let me do this
How did you make the sweat CFX?

Is it hard to learn Houdini compared to Maya?

In my experience it was the easiest one to learn as almost everything is is where it should be and Houdini does not guess for you, you have complete control of everything that make you feel sane again. Also documentation is very good and python binding is very well made. Sometimes the latest features may lack tutorials to learn or still change every version a bit but in general it is very pleasent experience.

If you can learn Maya you can definitely learn houdini
Animation is still not flexible enough like maya

It's still in BETA lol, are you expecting it to get a great animation environment right out the bat?😂 Houdini put more updates for animation and rigging in this 2 major releases which were only 8-9 months apart than Maya has for the last few years. Give it 2-3 more years, it will definitely surpass it or atleast reach the same level. SideFX is definitely planning on aggressively updating the rigging and anim tools.

@@fastlearner292 Right, Houdini put more updates for animation and rigging than Maya. But, it still BETA and worse than Maya 2012.
