FXPHD – HOU120 – Houdini Procedural Spline Modeling

扎实的几何基础是成为一名高效的初级美术师、扎实的中级美术师以及作为一名高级美术师潜入高级设置的关键。对程序、矢量数学、旋转和人口以及外观开发的良好知识和理解将使任何级别的任何 Houdini FX TD 受益。

本课程将指导您完成黄蜂巢形成的两个程序生成练习。从对参考资料和一组创意目标的彻底分析开始，您将使用 Houdini 的程序主义来产生完全程序化和逼真的最终结果。所涉及的技术将使用低级基础和现代 VDB 和表面处理方法，包括：

用于矢量数学的 Vops 和 VEX
矩阵和旋转运算
分布方法
压裂和曲面
几何优化
高效复制技术
地形适应
噪声算法和属性

多年来，Andrew 一直被业界公认为 FX TD 和培训师。电影作品包括木乃伊 3、阁楼上的外星人、Invictus、Thor、Sucker Punch、变形金刚 3、Jack the Giant Slayer 和 Ender’s Game。他曾在各种工作室工作，包括 Digital Domain、Rhythm and Hues 和 Animal Logic。洛厄尔在世界各地举办了许多研讨会，撰写了文章，撰写了一本 Houdini 书籍，还在 Animation Workshop 和 fxphd 等专门机构进行了正式培训。

Title: FXPHD – HOU120 – Houdini Procedural Spline Modeling

Info:
Solid geometry foundations are the key to being an efficient junior artist, a solid mid-level artist, and diving into advanced setups as a senior. A good knowledge and understanding of proceduralism, vector math, rotation, and population, and look development will benefit any Houdini FX TD at any level.

This course will guide you through two procedural generation exercises of wasp nest formations. Starting from a thorough analysis of reference and a set of creative objectives, you will use Houdini’s proceduralism to produce a completely procedural as well as realistic end result.Techniques involved will use both low-level foundations and modern VDB and surfacing methods including:

Vops and VEX for vector math
Matrix and rotational operations
Distribution methods
Fracturing and surfacing
Geometry optimization
Efficient copy techniques
Terrain adaptation
Noise algorithms and properties

For many years Andrew has been recognized by industry as an FX TD and trainer. Movie credits include Mummy 3, Aliens in the Attic, Invictus, Thor, Sucker Punch, Transformers 3, Jack the Giant Slayer, and Ender’s Game. He’s worked at a variety of studios, including Digital Domain, Rhythm and Hues, and Animal Logic. Lowell has conducted many seminars around the world, written articles, authored a Houdini book, and also conducts formal training at dedicated institutions such as Animation Workshop and fxphd.
