SUMMARY:Punching above your Weight
DESCRIPTION:Exhibitor Talks\n\nPunching above your Weight\n\nAngus\n\nAlt 
 VFX's Nick Angus covers transitioning a studio's pipeline to Houdini-centr
 ic. Alt started with 6 people and a couple of freelance artists. They burs
 t out of the gate with an amazing commercial, then reality sunk in that th
 ey were limited by "off the shelf" tools, and when new jobs came along tha
 t had a huge variety of needs, they realized they needed to become far mor
 e innovative - and started to look at Houdini. "One interesting piece of a
 dvice I received was to think of Houdini as more of a 3D operating system,
 " says Nick, "I tasked myself with learning as many aspects of Houdini as 
 I could before I proposed rolling it out as a full solution, and we then m
 oved our lighting, FX, and fur/feathers over to Houdini entirely. We reali
 zed that training was far less intimidating than we had thought, as people
  could just bite off small parts at a time. A lighter only needed a day or
  two to get up to their normal speed."\n\nRegistration Category: Platinum
