Meet the Houdini Team at Escape Studios – Head of Industry Training Mark Spevick and veteran VFX artist Simon Browne teach Houdini to our VFX students at Escape Studios.
SideFX Houdini is an increasingly useful digital tool that allows users to create FX work such as smoke, fire and water with much less difficulty than with traditional software packages.
Mark Spevick is one of our most experienced VFX tutors at Escape Studios, and teaches our 20 Week Evening Class in Houdini, which starts in May.
Escape Studios Vimeo Tutorial Channel supports our students with online resources for their studies, including an extensive playlist in Houdini.
