In this episode, we sit down with Christopher Rutledge, an innovative CG artist and filmmaker, to explore his unique approach to creating stunning animations. Known for his exceptional use of SideFX's Houdini, Chris takes us behind the scenes of his creative process, showcasing the making of several of his captivating short films. While Houdini is typically recognized as a go-to tool for blockbuster VFX, Chris explains why it's his software of choice for animation, proving that Houdini can do so much more than just big movie effects.
Chris delves into the future of Houdini, sharing insights on how the software is positioning itself to revolutionize the entire CG pipeline. With proceduralism at its core, Houdini is not only a powerhouse for creating complex simulations but also a versatile tool that’s set to dominate the animation and CG industry. Chris's perspective offers a glimpse into the potential of Houdini as it continues to expand its influence beyond traditional VFX into all areas of 3D content creation.
Currently, Chris is collaborating with a group of talented artists and SideFX to create an animated short film entirely in Houdini 20.5. This ambitious project is designed to stress test Houdini for the entire filmmaking and animation process, pushing the software to its limits and exploring new possibilities for the future of CG production.
Don’t miss out on this deep dive into the world of Houdini and discover how Chris is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in CG with Houdini.

It is great and moving in right direction BUT honestly I would see more of a classical animation promoted and worked on and developed tools for instead of going on all procedural animation alone. Need tools for classical 3D key framed animation and motion capture editing tools.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍
Plz, stop comparing that thing to toon boom. I am a 3D xter animator myself b4 embracing 2D. But the comparison is embarrassing. Money or no, blender ain't replacing toon boom.
Another great interview :D Great to see houdini used in such an interesting way!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🔥
Hey can u change the chapter name to side fx
Do you think that Houdini will take over the CG pipeline one day?
Houdini or Blender? Go...
What are your thoughts on SideFX Houdini?

You know honestly with the way computers are getting faster and faster. The future of animation is probably going to become more hands on. I've been experimenting with realtime animation in blender after finding out about it from polyforg who talked about a VR animation tool called Tvori where it's as simple as grabbing the object you want to animate. Pressing play on the timeline and record the action. If the action is too fast you can change the frame rate to slow it down a lot so you can keep up with the animations. I think that's where animation needs to start heading. More tools like the puppeteer tool from daz and realtime animation tools like tvori. I use empties as animation layers in blender so I can use realtime animation to start stacking motions on top of motions on top of motions really really fast. I absolutely love it, I create animations incredibly fast now because of it. I want more of it but all I can do is tell people about it to hopefully strike up some more interest in it.
FULL ON HOUDINI BOY! Loved this, LOVE Christopher. He is a beautiful, brilliant human.
FULL ON LEGEND... you also 😎
Hey dude, are you from Wolverhampton?

Hey thanks so much for the kind comment and super glad you enjoyed it , plenty of awesome episodes to watch. And extended interviews on Spotify and Apple Podcasts too . Hope you enjoy :) welcome to the podcast !
@@thevfxprocess I really enjoy your interview style, very friendly :) keep up the good work!!
It'd be great to hear about the business/financial aspect of this. For me, it's like: - Make something cool. - Pay for some festivals to showcase it. - The end (loose a lot of time and some money ). ✅
Please check out the audio podcast extended version on Spotify / Apple Podcasts , there may be a little bit more information there about that . Thanks for watching
@@thevfxprocess Will do, thanks! 🍻
That was a great video - the Phantom Menace salt waterfalls were where it clicked for me too
Gotta love those oldschool genius techniques that give crazy effective results .
