'In my course, I chose a family of the 2 oldest and most powerful software systems sharing a lot of ideas and tools and produced by the same prophet mind. Since then Houdini and TouchDesigner have been developing independently and in different ways, while still employing a lot of common concepts and techniques, providing the artist with a great variety of tools for creating both real-time and non-real-time graphics and art', adds the mentor.
