Side Effects Software, makers of Houdini, will be at SIGGRAPH2009 this year talking about how you can use Houdini in educational environments for CG training. They will have Aliza Sorotzkin, Training & School Accounts Manager, and Peter Robinson, Senior Trainer, on hand to speak to you about learning & teaching Houdini.
Also, if you’re just interesting in learning Houdini yourself they will be offering demonstrations in their booth and (Updated in response to Janet’s comment) private demonstrations for studios.
Side Effects won’t be doing any Houdini demos at the booth (just in our meeting room) but you’ll be able to talk to Peter and Aliza about our learning tools. Hope to see lots of you at the show!
