An online Houdini course

[whalerider]

When does the course begin?
How much will it cost?
Do you have any admission requirements?
Are you just going thru the book or is there additional value added?
Do you have a Houdini reel?

That is valid questions whalerider, I would like to know as well. At least the date it begins and price should be on the website or in the .pdf .

The course runs between September 7 - December 23, 2006. I do not remember the exact cost of the course, I'd venture to say it's about $1200. I'm going to talk to people in the online department and find out today. There are no admission requirements, but it's alway a plus to have some knwledge of 3D. I'm not just going through the book. The book is actually being used as a reading material in 5-6 modules out of 15. Everything else is the material not covered or only briefly mentioned in it, such as the use of attributes, CHOPs and particle effects. Unfortunately, my website is currently down so I can't post a link to my demo reel, but I'm planning to fix it in the next week.
cheers,
Luka

I took Luka's Houdini class in the classroom, I'm sure the online version is as good.
Luka knows Houdini inside out, and he can answer any question you throw at him.
