Our Story
At 3D-UNI, we have built a platform dedicated to providing top-tier Houdini courses and advanced 3D animation education. For over 14 years, we’ve been helping students and professionals alike, teaching them how to transform their ideas into stunning cinematic, production-ready work. Our core mission: to make complex 3D skills understandable, practical, and achievable for artists around the world. Our commitment to 3D procedural modeling and VFX simulation education makes us a go-to resource for aspiring digital artists. Our story is grounded in a deep passion for 3D animation and a mission to make complex skills accessible to learners around the globe. Every course is short, intensive, and focused on real results, avoiding the motivation drop of long, unfocused programs.
Background
3D Uni stands on the shoulders of a team with over 14 years of teaching experience in prestigious universities and a rich history of industry work. Our lead tutor has developed advanced teaching techniques in Houdini FX and 3D character rigging, ensuring that students not only learn but excel in VFX and 3D animation.
We don’t teach button-pressing – we teach understanding.
You can explore our production work at 3Dom Studios, where we showcase the high-quality projects that reflect our expertise in the field.
In addition, we’ve contributed significantly to the broader industry by authoring the FK and IK rigging Wikipedia article, a resource that demonstrates our deep understanding of animation techniques.
Mission & Vision
Our mission is to provide a comprehensive learning environment where students can master Houdini and 3D animation through hands-on, practical courses. We aim to make complex topics like procedural modeling, VFX simulations, and FK/IK rigging easy to grasp for students worldwide.
What makes us different is how we teach.
Our courses aren’t built in classrooms – they’re created inside a working VFX and CGI studio. Students train directly in a real production environment, learning the same tools, methods, and decision-making artists use daily in film, commercial, and game pipelines. This connection to real studio work ensures every lesson is grounded in practical, production-proven workflows rather than abstract theory.
Our vision is to be the leading platform for Houdini FX tutorials, helping students and professionals alike to enhance their skills and creativity. We aim to be recognized as an expert source in the fields of 3D animation, VFX, and rigging techniques, empowering learners to push the boundaries of their digital art capabilities.
