How Houdini is used in Game studios? Say for example you have a game and you want to fill it with more than 1000 buildings,imagine how long this will take you right? But in Houdini you can create 1 building and then export it as Digital asset(Plugin) to Unreal Engine or Unity,and in Unreal Engine you can scatter the building in your game and give random variation to each building,like the size,the color,windows size,Height,width and so on.... Imagine how much time you saved! instead of creating 1000 buildings,you created just 1 building in Houdini.
Not just buildings,this works for(sieges,tables,chairs,streets......).

I would like to talk about two things, the first of them. This course is very useful and wonderful, and it contains valuable information that is useful in your work. Secondly, Raffi is a good person and a good teacher and is good at answering questions quickly and in the end I recommend buying this course

The content and structure of the curse are excellent. I give four because of the English level of the teacher. It's acceptable but not good.

By Kevin Pinter on 10/23/2020

Guys you really need to learn the fundamental knowledge of houdini. This course is just like a collection of short youtube tutorials where you follow instructions to learn something basic.
If you really want to learn how to work with houdini by your own, choose another course where you learn the fundamentals.
The teacher doesnt explain any background knowledge and you dont learn such a complex program by just following some steps.
Btw his accent is quiet annoying and hard to listen.

By Aashna Chawla on 10/22/2020

I am halfway through this course and I love it already! It's the perfect program for introduction to Houdini and a stepping stone for my journey to learn FX and simulation!
