The ultimate guide to the procedural mentality for the real-time interactive production
Houdini and TouchDesigner
Both programs are based on the same node engine and share the procedural approach, a variety of data formats, and UI concept.
What Makes this Course Unique:
-
Academic approach.
-
You will learn how to find solutions yourself.
-
You will deeply understand the data flow and hidden logic of Houdini and Touchdeisgner.
-
We teach the way of thinking instead of just going through the particular topics.
It's a first course in the market combining different programs with a continuous comparison of pros and cons of solving different production tasks in each of them.
-
Extremely fast diving in practical work
-
We teach to think out of the box and to find our own ways to solve the problems
-
Academic approach with an in-depth look into the procedural paradigm
-
Parallel learning of TD and Houdini researching pros and contras of choosing the workflow in the frame of the practical task
