Houdini 18.5全球学习交流研讨会Houdini HIVE Education Edition
BUas Procedural Showcase _ Aleksandra Radivilovic, Erwin Smeenge, Jens van Kampen, Joshua Rizzo …
From Houdini Hive Education Edition originally broadcast on November 12, 2020.
In this presentation, a group of third-year students from Breda University of Applied Sciences will go over their tools / projects they made using Houdini. These tools are created to supply several game projects and cover topics such as procedural characters, building destruction, procedural landscapes and racetrack generation. Each student will present their project and explain their workflow.
Aleksandra Radivilovic is a 22-year-old student at Breda University of Applied Sciences. She is in her third year, but her first time focusing on technical art dates back to the beginning of her second year. Wanting to dip a toe into Houdini, she chose a procedural route for her first project of the year, and the rest is history. Since then she has been interested in everything procedural, as enjoys the creativity and problem-solving that goes into every new project. She is endlessly intrigued in the possibilities of procedurality and its ability to speed up game art pipelines. She is most interested in creating tools to help environment artists build large, beautiful open-worlds.
Erwin Smeenge is a 22- year-old visual art student at BredaUniversity of Applied Sciences. He is in the 3rd year of the study. During his study, he started to become more and more passionate about creating VFX. And once he started to learn Houdini and Unreal’s Niagara system, he was sold to become a VFX artist. His focus within being a VFX artist are creating destruction, pyro and magical effects in both real time and offline rendering.
Jens van Kampen is a 3rd year student at the Breda University of Applied Sciences and specialize in both procedural and environment art. His passion lies in the combination of these two, which is why almost all of his procedural work is environment-oriented. He is highly interested in simulating natural geological development and have a solid understanding of the environment art pipeline.
Joshua Rizzo is a 25-year-old Visual Arts Student at Breda University Of Applied Sciences and is currently in year 3. He was introduced to Houdini in his first year of Uni and ever since he has been passionate to use it for VFX & Proceduralism for Film & Games. Houdini allows him to work on various steps in the pipeline, from rapid prototyping to final asset delivery. His interest involves Procedural Tools, VFX & CFX for both Real-Time & Offline Rendering and he is looking forward to working in the industry.
Peter Prickarz is a 3rd year Tech Art student at Breda University of Applied Sciences. He uses Houdini to create procedural tools that make environment and level creation more efficient. He enjoys solving problems mathematically with VEX and Python. After graduating high school in Germany, he went to Breda to become an environment artist, but shifted to Tech Art as soon as he got in contact with Houdini.

Aleksandra Radivilovic是布雷达应用科学大学的22岁学生。她已经三年级了，但是第一次专注于技术艺术可以追溯到第二年年初。她想穿上Houdini鞋，为此她今年的第一个项目选择了一条程序路线，剩下的就是历史了。从那时起，她对每个程序都产生了兴趣，并喜欢每个新项目的创造力和解决问题的能力。她对程序的可能性及其加速游戏流程的能力充满了无限的兴趣。她最感兴趣的是创建工具来帮助环境艺术家构建大型，美丽的开放世界。
Erwin Smeenge是布雷达应用科学大学的22岁视觉艺术系学生。他是研究的三年级。在学习期间，他开始对创建VFX越来越感兴趣。并且，一旦他开始学习Houdini和Unreal的Niagara系统，他就被出售成为一名VFX艺术家。他作为一名VFX艺术家的工作重点是在实时和脱机渲染中创造破坏力，火力和神奇效果。
Jens van Kampen是布雷达应用科技大学的三年级学生，专门研究程序和环境艺术。他的热情在于两者的结合，这就是为什么他几乎所有程序工作都注重环境的原因。他对模拟自然地质发展非常感兴趣，并且对环境艺术流程有深入的了解。
Joshua Rizzo是布雷达应用科学大学25岁的视觉艺术系学生，目前在3年级。他在大学入学的第一年就被介绍给Houdini，从那时起，他就一直热衷于将其用于VFX和过程主义电影和游戏。 Houdini允许他在开发中的各个步骤上工作，从快速原型制作到最终资产交付。他的兴趣涉及用于实时和脱机渲染的过程工具，VFX和CFX，并且他期待在该行业中工作。
彼得·普里卡兹（Peter Prickarz）是布雷达应用科技大学的3年级技术艺术系学生。他使用Houdini来创建使环境和关卡创建更加高效的程序工具。他喜欢用VEX和Python在数学上解决问题。在德国高中毕业后，他去了布雷达（Breda）成为一名环境艺术家，但是当他与Houdini接触后便转投Tech Art。
Creating Lightning with VEX _ Nathan Clark _ University of Bolton
From Houdini Hive Education Edition originally broadcast on November 12, 2020.
The presentation will focus on the magic crystals project that was set for students by DNEG. I will first talk about my approach for this sort of project.

How to Learn Houdini from Scratch in 13 Weeks _ Matt Brunner _ Digipen
From Houdini Hive Education Edition originally broadcast on November 12, 2020.
How do you introduce a production software package as massive and interesting as Houdini to new students? This talk is about the dilemmas I’ve faced answering that question and some of the solutions and results that I have come up with.
Matt Brunner currently works as a professor in the department of Animation and Production at DigiPen Institute of Technology outside of Seattle. He teaches courses in Houdini and game production. A lot of history preceded DigiPen. He started out as an artist, painting in a studio in Texas. He took a job as an art director for an educational video production unit after living poor for far too long and quickly immersed myself into digital animation during its formative years. This led him to get a Master’s degree in Visualization from the Viz Lab at Texas A&M focusing on digital animation and cinema. He took that experience and started the computer animation department at what was then the largest stop motion animation company in the world, Will Vinton Studios in Portland, Oregon. He built the capacity for computer animation and vfx at Vinton’s (now called Laika) for almost a decade before becoming interested in the new game console that was soon to be released, the Xbox. He took a blind leap into a job as an experience director and cinematics director at Microsoft Game Studios and worked on a number of games, notably Crimson Skies. Eventually he left to form Airtight Games, a game dev company with some of his co-workers, and they created a number of new IP titles including Dark Void and Murdered: Soul Suspect.

您如何向新生介绍像Houdini一样有趣的大规模生产软件包？这次演讲是关于我在回答这个问题时所面临的困境以及我提出的一些解决方案和结果。
Matt Brunner目前在西雅图以外的DigiPen理工学院动画与制作系担任教授。他教授Houdini和游戏制作课程。 DigiPen之前已有许多历史。他最初是一名艺术家，在德克萨斯州的一家工作室绘画。在穷人生活了太久之后，他开始担任教育视频制作部门的艺术总监，并在成长初期迅速将自己投入到数字动画中。这使他从德克萨斯A＆M的Viz实验室获得了可视化硕士学位，重点是数字动画和电影。他借鉴了这一经验，并在当时世界上最大的定格动画公司（位于俄勒冈州波特兰的Will Vinton Studios）成立了计算机动画部门。他在Vinton（现在称为Laika）上建立了计算机动画和vfx的功能近十年，之后对即将发布的新游戏机Xbox产生了兴趣。他盲目地跳入了Microsoft Game Studios的经验总监和电影导演的工作，并从事许多游戏，尤其是Crimson Skies。最终，他离开了与一些同事组建的游戏开发公司Airtight Games，他们创建了许多新的IP产品，包括Dark Void和Murdered：Soul Suspect。
Adding the Fun to Math Fundamentals _ Jan Mentzel & Ruben Tack _ Howest
From Houdini Hive Education Edition originally broadcast on November 12, 2020.
For many years we have struggled to find the best way to teach math to aspiring 3d artists. Trying something radically different, we abandoned traditional means and tools. Instead, we chose to work with Houdini, using VOPs and simple geometry to explain fundamental mathematical concepts. In this presentation we discuss our motivations for changing the course and how we made it more interesting, visually appealing and approachable.
Jan Mentzel & Ruben Tack are lecturers at Digital Arts and Entertainment (DAE), part of the university college Howest in Kortrijk, Belgium. Throughout its 3 year curriculum, DAE aims to shape absolute beginners into 3d artists with a strong technical background.
