Hey All,

I wanted to share an event with you taking place in March of 2013. The Citrus Cel Animation Film Festival is running a competition called JUICED! This is a 24hr animation competition where teams are given a few texture assets and a theme, and they are given the task of creating an animated short in a mere 24hrs.

This is our second installment of JUICED!, and we would love to get some of you talented animators from the 11 second club to participate. You do not have to be present at the festival to participate and all animation can be done remotely, and submitted to the competitions sponsored YouSendit drop box.

For more information about the festival, or to register for the competition, feel free to visit http://www.citruscel.com/juiced2013/

Do you have what it takes to get JUICED!?

Munky is delighted to host a workshop evening with legendary SideFX guru Jeff Wagner discussing Ocean FX And FLIP Fluids in the latest release, Houdini12.5

Houdini 12.5 has new whitewater and spray solvers along with new tools to help set up fluid simulations for anything from water to lava. There is also the new OceanFX tools for simulating large ocean water from calm to stormy. The Ocean FX Wave Tank tool lets you simulate a FLIP fluid simulation driven by an animated ocean surface.

This class will cover generating ocean water, fast moving water, fluid tanks and the new Ocean FX tools for those users who are either familiar with Houdini’s interface or experienced Maya Artists. You are welcome to bring laptops and play along but not essential!

Doors open at 6:30pm for registration. Jeff will start the talk at 7pm sharp and talk for approximately 2 hours after which there will be some refreshments and a chance for a chat.
