Good point.

I'm in India and the offer will close somewhere around 9.00 am IST on 4th May.

hi Bullit, The answer to your question is slightly complicated. Firstly, this is not a beginner level training. Think of training as more of learning how to build complex ICE node structures and converting them into ICE compounds. Houdini's material system is extremely vast and sometimes you build t...
