Nebula Generator Course - Houdini
Learn to create beautiful 3D space nebulae using the power of Houdini volumes and the Redshift rendering engine.
We will guide you though each step in the production process of a nebula including:
- Creation of customizable cloud set ups.
- Adding effects such as stars and volumetric gas.
- Setting up an automated lighting rig.
- Using meta-ball objects and particles.
- Rendering the nebula for both stills and animation.
- Post processing techniques on the final result.
Who is the course for?
The course videos start by assuming a very basic knowledge of Houdini and Redshift, building in complexity as time goes on.Pre-requisites
The course assumes you will already have access to an installation of Houdini (Indie/Commercial license) and Redshift (Node-locked or Floating license).
A beginner's knowledge of Houdini is recommended to get started. If you are completely new to Houdini, we suggest Nine Between's excellent introductory video series, Houdini Isn't Scary parts 1-5.
Some Redshift knowledge is useful but optional, as we will be taking you though each step.
We will be using Adobe Photoshop as optional post processing steps, and will use After Effects as an optional video processor at the end (Other more freely available editors are available such as HitFilm or Blender).
