Once the application has been submitted, an internal SideFX commission decides whether or not to certify the school. Each plan must be detailed, explaining how the Houdini software is used and the names of students. In addition, a two-minute video was also sent showing a montage of various shots made by students from the graduation films. Several elements are taken into account to obtain this precious label such as: the curriculum taught as a whole, the number of years of study offered to students, the use that is made of the software during the courses or the training plan concerning the Houdini software itself. To be able to maintain this certification, it is necessary to apply each year and submit a file to the software company: SideFX.

This certification is issued once a year and is valid for the entire year in which it is obtained. WHAT IS HOUDINI CERTIFICATION AND HOW TO OBTAIN IT?
