DanCox Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I am looking for an effects artist who can tutor me for a few effects shots for my thesis. I am currently a 3rd year graduate student at the Academy of Art University in downtown San Francisco. I need to find someone as soon as possible. The Academy will pay you as a "directed study instructor". The Academy uses dozens of industry professionals every semester to aid students. Companies include ILM, The Orphanage, Tippett Studios, Pixar, Giant Killer Robots. None of these companies are currently using Houdini. I have been using Maya for 3 years and have learned all dynamics in that package. I have some scripting background. I need someone fast. The project will be very difficult but worth it. Please let me know if you have any contacts or would be interested yourself. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seedbot Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Have you taken both Houdini Level 1 and Level 2 classes at the Academy? The new instructor, Luka Stolyarov, has recently been certified for Level 2 by Side Effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deecue Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Actually, The Orphanage is using Houdini as we speak and will be integrating more in to their pipeline soon. And for some reason, I feel like I've heard ILM using it at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find me monday through saturday till 4:30 PM in the lab tech area.Cheers, Luka 16075[/snapback] Luka, I would love to have your help. Just to let you know... I have never taken Houdini before. I will be learning the software for the first time. I pick up software pretty fast though so I don't think it will be a problem. I talked to Austin Cable last semester and he was excited to work on the stuff but he is gone. The reason I am wanting a one on one instead of taking the undergrad class is because I want to learn mainly particles from you. I will teach myself the rest. I need help with the dynamics. I will be by the lab tomorrow morning. I will find you and we can talk. Thanks for the interest. Dan Cox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
