Houdini has been powering jaw-dropping visual effects for film, TV, games, and commercials even before we started our own careers in VFX and Animation, so, it's no surprise that SideFX have raised the stakes since then, and have been empowering an even younger generation of artists. If you are a student, you now have access to Houdini Education. If are you looking to hone your craft using Houdini, this article is for you.
SideFX is pleased to announce that students now have direct access to rent Houdini Education for personal use. Until now, students could use the FREE Houdini Apprentice at home then use Houdini Education in a school lab. Now students can rent Houdini Education for $75 USD per year.
Access to this license lets students avoid the Apprentice restrictions while working with the same file formats that are used in school labs. This license is non-commercial and is designed for students completing independent educational coursework and exploration.
Access to Houdini Education is available to all students, even if your school doesn’t currently teach Houdini.
With this change, many more students have the opportunity to learn Houdini and benefit from the Education license’s extended capabilities.
