SUBJECT PROGRAMS
CAMPUS / ONLINE
SFFS Subject Programs are designed for students who want to go deeper into a specific area of CG, VFX, 3D animation, games, or commercial video production.
Each course provides intensive, focused training in a core discipline — modeling, rendering and lighting, animation, compositing, or FX — led by instructors with hands-on industry experience.
These programs allow students to build on their existing foundation, sharpen their portfolio in their chosen field, and prepare for a specialized career in the global VFX industry.
Students are grouped by level — those at different stages of progress are taught separately.
3D DYNAMIC SIMULATION SOFTWARE
Houdini
Every explosion, flood, and collapsing building you've seen on screen was most likely built in Houdini.
The industry's most powerful tool for simulation and FX,
oudini handles everything from pyro and fluids to destruction and character effects
— the kind of work that makes audiences forget they're watching something that was never real.
At SFFS, students learn Houdini as a core part of the FX pipeline,
building the technical depth to create effects that hold up on the biggest screens in the world.
