Studios can now get 60 hours of instructor-led support, with personalised curriculums and schedules, with up to 90% of costs covered.
Houdini is becoming an increasingly vital tool for modern VFX and animation pipelines – and Skills Bootcamp funding is now available to make it more possible than ever to rapidly upskill existing teams.
Studios can brief Mastered – a specialist training centre – on what they need, for who, and the Houdini team there will propose a bespoke curriculum, to be delivered by SideFX recommended trainers, for £405 a person for 60-hours of support.
We know studios don’t want off-the-shelf training – they need it personalised to their specific pipeline, projects, teams and schedules – in order to make it stick. Skills Bootcamp funding is an affordable way for studios to develop their in-house talent and get up to 90% of the training costs covered by the government.
