Student Testimonials

"My experience in IVS was amazing. The one takeaway I got from them is to understand the functionality of Houdini in a simple manner rather than getting confused and lost, which I did when I used to look up online videos without having a base or understanding of the software."

"My experience at Indian VFX School has been incredible. It's because of IVS that I got into my dream studio, Industrial Light & Magic, right at the beginning of my career. What really stood out to me was their way of teaching Houdini. They make it simple to create high-quality FX shots without getting lost in VEX or too many technical details. The explanations are clear, practical, and easy to apply, which made learning Houdini feel exciting instead of overwhelming. I genuinely believe IVS had a big part in building my career and giving me the confidence to step into the VFX industry. I'll always be grateful for that."

"Completing the Houdini FX course at Indian VFX School was a transformative experience for me. The hands-on training, expert instructors and well-structured curriculum helped me develop a solid foundation in visual effects, particularly in Houdini. Thanks to this course, I was able to build an impressive showreel that showcased my skills. The knowledge and confidence I gained ultimately led to landing a job at DNEG, one of the leading VFX studios."
