Houdini

Creative software

주석: It's great software, I specifically used it to model playground terrain, and it's amazing.

장점:

It is a very intuitive and powerful software, it has many payment plans, even if you are an indie studio you can use it for free up to a certain amount of income, and it has specific plans according to what you need and the income you have.

단점:

I really have nothing against this program, maybe render optimization, but the whole program overcomes that problem.

Houdini: One of the best software for VFX.

주석: Houdini is my favorite tool to use for VFX. It's powerful and ultra realistic. There are a ton of tools and features to help me create whatever I want. Houdini is a paid software but very worth it. I will take a little while to learn. Overall I love using Houdini and it has helped me make some incredible creations.

장점:

Houdini is an incredibly powerful tool. It works really great as a 3D modeling tool and I can create highly detailed models and characters. But where Houdini really shines is its particle effects system and physics system to create beautiful VFX. I love using Houdini to create visually stunning VFX for character animations. Its particle system is packed full of tools that allow me to create almost any kind of effect I can imagine. The physics system is incredibly realistic and I can apply forces to my effects. Houdini is one of the best for VFX.

단점:

The only real con I have with Houdini is that it is very confusing to use. It doesn't have the most user-friendly UIs. So it will take you a while to learn everything and get used to it all. But once you do then you have access to a very powerful tool.

Houdini best for Fx and simulation FX

주석: Its the best software i have ever experienced for FX

장점:

Interface is easy node based Like nuke which is east and simple to use for any new user

단점:

Complicated Render optimisation, Render timing should be noticed

A humbling experience

주석: Overall, Houdini's experience has been a humbling one. I can't see myself ever moving away from it.

장점:

Houdini is probably one of the hardest pieces of VFX software out there, but if you give it time and patience it's also going to be the most rewarding and flexible to your needs. They spend an incredible amount of time on R&D, so you know the money that is being spent on the product itself is reinvested in the software. SideFX continues to change the game with every release and it's super exciting looking to the next major version to see what they come up with.

단점:

There are tons of reasons why Houdini is an amazing piece of software, but there are also a number of crucial reasons why its not for everyone. Some of these are: the learning curve it takes to get into the software, the cost associated with purchasing the software, the additional render token cost is really high, and some parts of the software feel a little dated or entirely unused by a lot of artists.

Creates

주석: Works great with data. The Houdini+Mantra combination creates stunning imagery. I use it for cinematic scientific visualization. I've used Maya, 3DS Max, and Blender to some extent, but Houdini is really the best tool for this sort of work.

장점:

It is a very powerful tool and creates absolutely beautiful effects and imagery. The fact that it's procedural makes life much easier for certain tasks than some competing software products. I do a lot of scripting and coding in/around Houdini, and it's very developer-friendly. You can do just about anything either visually with the node editor or programmatically.

단점:

As is true for all other visual effects / animation software - this has a steep learning curve. I've been using it for 7 years now, and I'm still discovering new features and better ways to do things. It's a very powerful tool but is quite complicated and you never can really know all that it's capable of!

mi experiencia usando Houdini

주석: me gusta mucho pero me llevo tiempo aprender el programa por que no es facil al principio teiene una curva de aprendizaje algo complicada si no has ulitizado otros programas similares

장점:

tienes muchas posibilidades de hacer muchas cosas con este programa respecto a efectos especiales y animacion .

단점:

tienes que tener un alto conocimiento de otros porgamas de modelado 3d y un poco de fisica para que logres unos efectos muy realistas si no es asi salen medio regulares

Professional VFX software I liked to use

장점:

It's important to say that Houdini is really powerful VFX software that is as capable as its user. I used it in trial to try and do some work for myself and I was amazed as of how much is this software capable.

단점:

Steep learning curve and you really need some time, experience and dedication. But that is probably a good thing.
