Description:   Hello potential students.! This course is going to go over many concepts and techniques of working with Houdini Vellum to create a small FX shot. We will cover many tricks that are used all the time in production to get fine control over your Vellum setup, including ways to pin vellum objects together to create an interactive system of multiple vellum objects.   We will go over various constraint types and methods to use geometry grouping to simplify the constraint creation process, and creative ways to not only break constraints, but how to use those broken constraints to procedurally drive other attributes that can be used during the shader setup and rendering of your vellum setup to create a much more interesting render.   We will see how you can use vellum constraints to create a dynamic wire type of object with objects that stick to it, until you want them to break free and detach. These connected objects will be controlled by other constraints to make them behave as rigid bodies on a deforming wire. Once we have this Vellum system the way we like it, we will go over other tricks to create procedurally generated electrical energy bolts, Something that is much more common to do in post production than you might think.! Every FX artist should know how to create an effect like this, it comes up all the time in a professional production environment.   Once we have this all done, we will check out some rendering options, and even how to quickly add an extra layer of FX elements to the setup, another thing that is very common to have to do when addressing client notes or requests on a tight production deadline and a very useful skill to have as a working FX artist.  This course is intended for individuals that have some level of familiarity with Houdini. You should know at least the very basics, such as creating nodes and how to create a basic node network, how to set keyframes and diving in and out of networks.  I will not be
