Craig Zerouni Production Consultant Side Effects
Craig Zerouni has been coaxing images from computers for over 20 years. In that time, he has written animation and rendering software, created shaders, helped build a motion control rig, animated sequences for many, many commercials and feature shots, and even directed a couple of commercials. His feature film credits include Daredevil, First Knight and Beyond Rangoon. Craig began his career by starting CFX Associates in London, where he spent 15 years doing effects and animation for commercials, television idents and feature films. His company was the first customer for Side Effects Software's PRISMS animation software, and he has been using that, and then Houdini, since those products were released. Craig also spent several years managing the development of Chalice, a high-end compositing package. Craig currently works for Side Effects as a Production Consultant, where he has written documentation and run training courses on the Houdini Dynamics system. He also writes a monthly column for 3D World, and is writing a book on Houdini. |

Designed for the experienced 3D artist new to Houdini, this disc contains over five hours of lecture and extensive example files. With Houdini's strong history as a high-level effects animation package, seasoned feature film effects artist Garman Herigstad helps demystify its unique procedural approach to creating animation. He introduces Houdini's interface to establish familiarity with the software, and then presents its powerful step-by-step procedural approach, which allows for great variations in results leading ultimately to a faster production workflow. Examples include driving animation with audio data, modifying geometry using moving image sequences, particle animation setup, and basic shader creation. Houdini's "Takes" versioning is also introduced.
