[@screamsso2790]

houdini is in my opinion the best 3D software,tho normal poly modeling is fairly poor in it ,i think that unreal and blender with houdini is the best combination

[@InspirationTuts]

thats why we have many software to choose from.

[@mikeben9587]

don´t undersestimate the modelingcapacities in Houdini. On the first look it looks very slow and unintuitive, but the combination of direct and procedual modeling makes it very fast to the end of a modelingstate. Sure, in the beginning of a modeling project its slower than for example blender, but when you setup a few procedual tasks then its getting faster and faster, becaus, if you must change something, all other stuff is changing as well. And then the possibility to built your own tools it unique. You need a wheel in different looks every time? Built your own procedual wheeltool and in future with a few setups you have every kind of wheel you need. In the past i also modeled my stuff in Blender and do the other things in Houdini, but now i do more and more only in Houdini.

[@risnandarmultimedia5296]

agree.. blender for simple modelling/animation, houdini for dynamics, unreal for render engine

[@dxordon]

Mike Ben hey , I’m a video editor and I’ve been using after effects for nearly 2 years. I’m starting to get into vfx and started learning blender for around a month? Should I continue to learn blender or move to Houdini?

Thank you so much for this video houdini is the best and most difficult software in the industry.Thats why there is less competition in houdini.

[@csmemarketing]

This is some great insight into Houdini, especially since it's becoming the king of 3D content creation and vfx. I won't be using Houdini at all, but I will give credit where it's due. This video about Houdini is very high quality. Can you make a video on " *Is Houdini really difficult to Learn?* " I've heard it has a steep learning curve, like all 3d software, but higher. I've also heard that Houdini is designed more in line for Teams to use, rather than for individual Artists.

[@InspirationTuts]

thanks man, more videos about Houdini coming soon.

[@SlayPlenty]

ok so its not a modelling software and its not for animating, its more effects simulation? and scaling environments? is it like an engine?

[@arubani-7592]

Kind of yeah. I assume it’s similar to Marvelous Studio which is a fabric physics simulation engine except Houdini is a particles/atmospheric fog kind of engine?

[@izvarzone]

There are modelling tools and you can do animation.

[@digitalconsciousness]

You have always been able to do modeling and animation in Houdini. 20 years ago, it was always said that if you want to do special effects right, use Houdini. Only the best oceans and smoke plumes were found from using Houdini back then. imo, Maya has been lagging behind in particle effects for a long time. It's only recently that they came out with Bifrost to have some sort of competitive edge. We're at the age where modeling and animation are such common and expected features that even a game engine like Unity provides basic modeling tools to their users, so it would be expected that a program like Houdini absolutely would have them. Houdini has always been the best and probably will continue to be the best when it comes to the hard to do special effects like fluids, particles, smoke, fire, oceans, etc. That is how I view it at least. I started with Maya 4.0 back in the year 2000, so I've been observing for quite a while.

Hello! Informative video. At around 10:30, you mentioned that Houdini might not be the best app for developing VR and AR. Can you expand on that? Are you referring to Houdini not being a game engine? Are there other packages you would recommend? I am researching tools for creating VR and AR environments and experiences. I am curious as to the top contenders for creating environmental and interface assets. Thanks

When getting started with visual effects at home, which is better, an Imac or windows based system? And which models and programs are used besides houdini?

both could do fine however windows is often more preferred since you could easily add more RAM if you want (if you are buying a desktop) and that is not possible with a mac. Both work fine on it. I personally use Cinema4D and maya next to it but that's just because I know them very well.

What about blender?

[@csmemarketing]

As a Blender-head myself, Blender is nowhere near the efficiency of Houdini when it comes to procedural modeling. No 3D software comes close to it. Houdini is unique. In the future plans of Blender, they are looking into making some features similar to Houdini. We'll have to wait on that. With so much new stuff to learn in Blender like Animation Nodes, Everything Nodes and Grease Pencil...I think we'll be good not trying to nail Houdini features on in the meantime.

[@MuhammadUmar-cy3od]

@@csmemarketing but the cost matters alot as a student

[@csmemarketing]

@@MuhammadUmar-cy3od I can understand that. That's why you should use Blender instead. Until you learn the fundamentals of 3D Workflow. Market yourself as a freelance 3D Artist, get paid, and then buy Houdini.

@@csmemarketing if i learn blender professionaly then can i use houdini?

[@csmemarketing]

@@MuhammadUmar-cy3od They're not the same types of programs, but Blender used to be hard to learn, not anymore. Houdini is still tough to learn according to what I hear from experts. It will be up to you and if you persevere. If you plan on working for Film Studios in the future, they say you should definitely learn 3DS Max, Maya and Houdini. If you want to work in the Game Design Industry, you want to learn 3DS Max, Maya, Substance Painter and always have Blender knowledge as your backup. If you're planning on going Independent in Game Design, Blender is your main choice.
