Houdini 是一个特效方面非常强大的软件。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。
Houdini不光只适用于视觉特效的制作，随着HOUDINI适用于各种平台，并且出现了很多的HOUDINI培训教学，HOUDINI开始进入了动态图像设计领域。因为其自身的流程化特性，加上其强大的动力学系统，让HOUDINI在数据可视化方面占有一席重要的地位，让图形设计师能够通过它表达自己的观点。

FXPHD HOU213 Creating Dynamic Destruction FX in Houdini Maya & Nuke
Maya, Houdini and Nuke will be used in this course to demonstrate the simulation of rigid body debris, particle fx and fluid effects. In this course we will learn how to Simulate all the hero elements of a large scale destruction shot including, smashing glass, falling paper, tumbling furniture, dust explosions using fluids, dust trails off concrete debris using fluids and how to bake and compile all the simulations together in Nuke. This course will be focusing on the FX Simulation and not on the photorealistic lighting in Renderman or Arnold or the compositing of additional live action elements over the 3D renders.
For any FX TD, this course will be fantastic for learning how to destroy buildings in CGI. Action movies today feature increasingly complex rigid body simulations and destruction fx so this course will equip you to face the most detailed and intricate large scale simulations. This course will require a fairly advanced knowledge of 3D Modeling, Animation and FX in Maya/Houdini as well as an understanding of file naming, memory and disk usage for large scale FX.
The course is taught by Liam Whitehouse who has been in the 3D and visual effects industry since 2003, graduating from Griffith University with a degree in Industrial Design. Liam has been recently teaching VFX at Griffith University Film School, and Nuke at Queensland College of Art in Brisbane Queensland
