About us

Introducing The CFX Academy - the leading online destination for learning the essential skills and techniques of the Character Effects department within the animation and VFX industries. Our Academy was established in response to the high demand for specialized CFX artists and the lack of quality training available in the market.

Unlike other online schools, we are the only Academy exclusively dedicated to CFX within Houdini. Our professionally designed program covers all the topics and responsibilities that a CFX artist typically performs within an animation or VFX studio, ensuring that our students receive the best possible training.

VISION

At The CFX Academy, our vision is to equip our students with the necessary tools and knowledge to efficiently adopt a range of efficient workflows and critically analyse each of their shots to come up with the best possible solution. We focus on a procedural approach that allows our students to work even if the animation is updated. Our aim is to prepare our students to become specialized, well-formed professionals capable of performing the Character Effects task effectively within the studios, a discipline currently in high demand.

MISSION

Our mission is to help our students gain a deep understanding of the Character Effects pipeline within different studios worldwide, and specialize them in Houdini and procedural workflows that will help them overcome any difficulty they may encounter while performing their job.

With over 8 years of dedicated experience in the animation and VFX industries, we are confident in our ability to pass on our knowledge to the next generation of CFX artists, and to help Maya artists transition to Houdini.
