Greg Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I live in NYC (upper west side), have a studio in Bushwick, Brooklyn and am learning Houdini - and I need a tutor. I was looking forward to the SVA (School of Visual Arts) Houdini class this summer as an opportunity to learn Houdini - but it was cancelled due to low enrollment (turns out it was just me and two other people). So, I've been working through the tutorials, etc, but would really like to find/hire an experienced tutor in the area. Anyone? Thanks, Greg but would really like to find/hire an experienced tutor in the area. by experience I mean specifically experienced with Houdini (It's Ok if you don't have teaching experience). Thanks, Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about a tutor in New York, but I've taken several Houdini classes. I am an effects animator with a few years experience and recently switched over to Houdini. I studied in the 4 month program at Vancouver Film School--I don't recommend it. I also studied at Side Effects Bootcamp, and several of their one-day classes. Those are really, really good, but you have to have knowledge about Houdini to benefit from them. One of the teachers also gives classes in Texas--he's good. I recommend doing this if you get a chance. vizyacky.com --- Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a good guy and a very good instructor. My guess is you'll learn a lot more from someone who knows how to teach rather than someone just showing you cool things in Houdini. Hope this helps, /Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheUsualAlex Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Thanks Rick, I might be heading to Texas.-Greg I highly encourage Garman's class in Dallas as well. It's definitely a trip worth taking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpencerL Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Hey Greg, I would be happy to discuss with you about tutoring Houdini. I am somewhat new to NYC and was supposed to teach the course at the SVA this summer. I am not claiming to have a PhD in Houdini, but would be able to teach you the concepts, interface, proceduralism, expressions, magnificent power of noise, etc. Email me at spencerlueders@hotmail.com if you are interested.
