HOUDINI FX student DEMOREEL 2023 - QUENTIN DEVRED 

Just some very basic after effect haha, really nothing fancy

Haha you can ! i learnt houdini on my own

It took around 6 months preprod excluded

Depends on the shot, but always Nuke for compositing

Only got some small freelance gigs. Almost impossible to find a job as a junior at this time ..

@@quentindevred there's no way it looks so good! Well they probably just need like a year or two of experience on ur resume, you got it!

All the fx are done in Houdini. Well sidefx has great documentation, steven knipping has very affordable and incredible tutorials

Thank you for the info Quentin, appreciate it.@@quentindevred

do you think the version difference in houdini 16.5 to 20 makes difference while following knipping's tutorials? cause he is using 16 to 18.5 versions of houdini.Thank you. Great demoreel btw.@@quentindevred

​@@AbdullahYazbaharWell i find it even better to learn from previous houdini version, because you understand the logic behind the new sop nodes and are able to recreate it/customize it if needed. And a lot of things are just still up to date

i can't see my previous comment, i guess its deleted so don't remember what I asked but thanks that's a good approach@@quentindevred

Sure! It's the same operation as a volume deform, driven by a sop bend applied on the sim and a proxy for previs. But the trickiest part was to get the trajectory right according to the bend amount. (Anchor point of the bbox of the sim at the bottom and then some expressions to get the trajectory)

Oh great !! Hope you liked it !

Actually a 5 years school studies but as cg generalist, i learnt houdini by my own

Only in festivals for the moment

It's only visible in festivals for the moment. It might be available in about a year

It's primarily self-learning. I would say SideFX's documentation, some online courses, and a lot of experimentations.

Not planned yet but maybe one day

Thanks! Well, it was the school's computer. I can't remember the exact Xeon CPU it had, but not the best for the task haha. Otherwise, GPU RTX 2080, and 32GB of RAM.

@@quentindevred wow! thank you for the info!

6 month for the fx-cfx part of the shortfilm

6 month no sleeping
