Make a big splash with this dive deep into water FX in this extensive masterclass. A huge thank you to Igor for running such an immersive and insightful course and such great live Q&A sessions for us as well.” Houdini has become the go-to tool in the FX industry. “DNEG’s training department specializes in providing high quality and effective onboarding, learning through training projects, internal courses and user groups, alongside exploring both technical and creative training programs facilitated by external training providers and experts, such as Rebelway. Ollie Hilbert, Head Of Training – North America, had the following to say about the experience:

#REBELWAY WATER FX IN HOUDINI PROFESSIONAL#

We’re always proud to partner with industry leaders and organizations to offer our artists unique opportunities for professional development and hands-on training. The results have blown us out of the water, no pun intended… Since completing the programme, our artists have applied some of the learnings on upcoming projects such as ‘ The Matrix Resurrections’, ‘ Uncharted’, and ‘ Under The Boardwalk’. Water FX is a difficult subject to master, but so crucial to realistic work - so we were pleased to have VFX and DNEG Animation artists from London, Montreal, Vancouver, and Mumbai on the course. In addition to full-time support and over 30 hours of detailed video training, our artists received studio time and resources that allowed them to sharpen their skills whilst working on productions simultaneously. Led by renowned water expert and co-founder Igor Zanic, the eight week program explored all aspects of shotwork, including simulation, geometry prep, shading, lighting, rendering and comp. Over thirty DNEG FX artists from across our global studios participated in Rebelway’s Water FX in Houdini course. Empowering our artists with the right tools and knowledge is critical to our mission to transform the future of storytelling – and our recent training collaboration with Rebelway is a great example of us diving right in with the best!
