The Instructor

Hi guys,

My name is Christian Bohm. I'm a Senior FX TD.
Originally I'm from germany (you will hear it), where I studied.
I have over 15 years of experience in the field of CG, with 10 professionally in VFX, 8 years in London.

I started my career as a Lighter in London. I was always on the technical side of things, so at some point I spent half my time writing scripts in PyMEL. Then I got in touch with Houdini on one project and fell in love. It was what I was always looking for. So I decided to move to the Effects department.
I worked in Film, Commercials and TV for ILM,MPC,Psyop,Framestore and others.

I also worked on a couple of TV shows like "The witcher", "Lazarus Project" and "Avatar - the last airbender".

Since I missed teaching and there seemed to be such a massive demand in Houdini knowledge I decided to put together what I know and teach again.

Unlike other instructors I still work in the industry.
Which is great for you - because it means I can give you knowledge that is actually used in production. Or at least I try.

The version of the site you see today took me 5 years to build up, so this isn't a small endeavour - and I hope the quality of the content shows that.
