本教程是由Fxphd机构出品的Houdini影视特效技术高级教程，包含工程源文件。

Houdini 是一个特效方面非常强大的软件，主要面对的是电影工业的特效制作与合成。与其他如3DS Max/After Effects等三维动画、特效合成软件不同的是，Houdini是一个节点软件，节点的操作具有非常强的逻辑性，同时它也是一个动态的建模软件，通过一个个节点和命令将各种对象组合在一起，在应对含有非常多的视觉元素的影视特效合成时通过节点的操作更加容易管理成千上万的视觉元素，而其它通过层来操作视觉元素的特效合成软件如After Effects在面对成千上万个视觉元素时显然是不现实的。许多电影特效都是由它完成:指环王中“甘道夫”放的那些“魔法礼花”还有“水马”冲垮“戒灵”的场面......后天中的龙卷风的场面等等，a52的汽车广告.反正只要是涉及DD公司制作的好莱坞一线大片，几乎都会有Houdini参与和应用.

当今大型电影绝伦的特效，不禁让你要惊叹其合成的逼真与强大！fxphd 教育机构出品的教程,相信大家都知道,都为业界的高端教程。

Fxphd HOU201 Houdini Production Techniques
Genre Video Training

al Cripps and Lori Smith are teaching the course, two Houdini fx artists who have worked on their share of fx for film. Val will be presenting the class, and Lori will be working with Val behind the scenes to get the material together.
The topic for HOUD201 is debris, a staple, bread and butter type of fx work that happens on many films and commercials, and that you will do at least once in your fx career. This could include pieces of glass kicked by a cg character’s foot, for example in The Incredible Hulk, or bits of dirt crumbling down a roof from a character climbing, like some shots I worked on in They Came From Upstairs Aliens in the Attic, or many other situations where debris helps set the CG into the live action, or must help to tell the story.
