Why blender artists love Houdini

[@rajendrameena150]

I think you want to make switch from blender to Houdini. We are very happy with blender and maybe some people may consider Houdini for special simulation task.

[@fameplatform4466]

Blender artists are not switching to any other 3d software for blender keep improving every day so don't lie to anyone

[@Zebra_Blender]

Regarding the price, it should be added that Blender's plug-ins are all bought out, with lifetime use and subsequent updates included in the purchase, while Houdini is an annual fee system, which requires payment every year.

[@Dyako_010]

many haters for Houdini , why ? price is a reason ? No . u can use pirated version , as i do the only reason is that people like to keep their mind/brain unused.

[@Resol-world]

To be fair, there are tons of Houdini Assets that can do many of these things. Also, if you build it once, you pretty much have an addon to generate many different variations. I also not sure the learning curve on Houdini is crazy high, it's just different and if you never learned any 3d package, not sure you would think Houdini is hard to learn. It only hard if your mental model is attached to a different way of doing something. I also think the quality you get from all the tools in Houdini are really strong, not sure any blender add-on is going to be much better.

[@blendereverything]

yeah, after i started learning houdini am agreeing with this statement even more, its actually not that hard to learn we have just been told over and over that it is so we started believing it

[@quas67]

Fanboys who have never installed Houdini and never wondered about it praise Blender. Blender cannot be Houdini's apprentice in any subject, including modeling. It is a completely professional, industrial 3D software. Those who only draw donuts in their lives and talk here should first do some research on why they continue to use Houdini after Blender came out. Don't tell them about their own special plugins etc. Houdini is a brain surgeon and Blender is a newly hired nurse.

[@ammonsingh]

Blender is good for smaller projects but anything commercial or professional is going to be done in Houdini

[@zboy303]

Define 'professional', because anything that is paid is professional work, and there are plenty of Blender users who are professionals.

[@rainbowgaming8441]

1 or 2 YEAR RENTAL we are not moving to any other software blender for life !!! we are not falling for it

[@A_Train]

Can Houdini open with a default cube? I don't think so. Not everyone wants simulations lol

[@ItsWesSmithYo]

10 point swish for the SEO title hustle 😂🖤🤙🏽 enjoy Houdini, I’ll stick with the grease pencil to vse pipeline of Blender 🤙🏽

[@donalddade5643]

Ah, at 0:52 I'm pretty sure that was the HorseFacePlant node in action. Man, Houdini sure is specific at times.

[@marsmotion]

not everyone wants to get that technical when they want to make something artistic. ive learned some procedural workflows. i still like making things manually more...craft vs industrial production i guess. different strokes

[@blendereverything]

Doing some stuff in blender is more technical than in houdini, especially of u r doing more than modeling

[@ThePianoman63]

Blender artists are not switching to Houdini. Not sure where you got your information from. Blender is free and much easier to use and in my opinion, it’s better than Houdini.

[@samk9632]

Yes they are lmfao

[@blendereverything]

artitsts change applications everytime,

[@Axiasart]

Your “biased” opinion isn’t worth much

[@stevenchilders272]

This sounds desperate... Listen no other application has as much online support than blender. Given time there is nothing that Houdini can do that blender can't.

[@WandersonItsMe]

Yes, I work in the industry and day after day I can see more Houdini artists using Blender in the workflow for modeling and Houdini for procedural, because Houdini support huge scenes, but for modeling is not the best tool for that. All are features to improve the workflow, just features.

[@jordannyambe5563]

We’re absolutely not. The addons, the community. Why would we? 😂

[@adilmughal3039]

i switched from blender to houdini and im really happy with it sure its hard as fuck but it is more logical

[@Arthur_Vilarinho]

People didn’t get that the title is just click bait

[@Arthur_Vilarinho]

blendereverything is literally talking good aspects about both softwares

[@derethreborn910]

$269 for a year rental? Uh huh.

[@blendereverything]

try maya at $800 a year

[@williamcousert]

@@williamcousert i think they do

[@FlameForgedSoul]

When you understand what it can do compared to literally every other DCC, that price ceases to bother you.

[@JayceAllanGuitar]

I can't imagine anything more difficult than blender. I find it very difficult to use. I ended up using Fusion 360 for guitar designs. Blender isn't really for product design in my opinion, definitely an effects and animation product. My goal is to learn it this year and make a few short movies. They need to make a 3D system for dummies like me! LOL

[@blendereverything]

most of the functions are under menus of short carts, instead of easy to understand icons, so it can be hard to learn

[@Zamundani]

the price if a bought all the famous addon in blender market i will be way less than Houdini price.

[@willseverson3219]

not really, houdini is extremely affordable. If you buy the indie version 2 years at a time it averages to like $16/month which is the same as a netflix subscription

[@blendereverything]

if you are buying one, yes, but you need more than one

[@Zamundani]

@@blendereverything my dude, Houdini indie license is almost 270$ a year. all addons in blender only offer the same functions in blender with less clicks. if you're experienced in blender, you can live without them. also the only advantage Houdini have over blender is simulations and the most expensive simulations addon in blender market is almost 80$ one time pay and updates are free. also most of them are GPL. If only simulations you're after then go for it but, its hell of a waste of time that you could spend on creativity to go for Houdini for anything else. i talk out of experience. why complicate an already simplified process?

[@DesignWithToni7]

Blender is becoming like houdini slowly

[@Dyako_010]

hahahah , in your dream

[@SaiRaghavuluBodicharla]

i want to make 30 secs shorts by using animation Blender Could you Please tell me How much vram we need and ram and RTX type

[@rainbowgaming8441]

i have a 4090 and its fast at rendering

[@woodie228]

lol, I switched from Houdini to Blender. Still use Houdini to make VDBs and particle sims. But then just bring it back to blender.

[@maxxxmodelz4061]

I don't know too many people, or studios for that matter, who use houdini exclusively in their pipeline. Most people use it with either Maya or Blender or some other professional level application to accomplish specific tasks in a high level production. For almost everything else, their pipeline is driven by Maya, for example.

[@blendereverything]

try studios making ads or commercials, which are more than movie companies, and likely do more jobs than movie companies,

[@batucenk3997]

No company uses Blender as an industry standard. Instead, they utilize software like Maya, 3ds Max, Houdini, Katana, and others. Nowadays, almost all high-end films use Houdini for simulations. Blender still has many problems to solve. However, its being free and easy to use makes it attractive for hobby artists.

[@clivies5008]

​@@batucenk3997 Blender already has a significant share of new job postings. It's delusional to still talk about 'industry standard' nowadays. Only a few big studios are stuck restricting software packages for their workers. Most studios combine various packages to maximize profit while minimizing license costs

[@anuplonkar2198]

No we are not

[@Mr.Indiyaah]

Houdini or C4D?

[@radityasans]

Blender artist who? I'm still using Blender btw

[@Grass_rock-kb7gi]

Blender artist aren't switching Don't do meth

[@crystalparticle7349]

Blender only relying on add ons. Can’t do things alone And no scripting and coding in houdini isn’t necessary

[@Dante66894]

You can't compare $200 worth of add ons you own permanently to a $200 annual license. Unless youre making good money off houdini, it makes absolutely no sense to switch

[@blendereverything]

true, the hope is that at some point every blender artist is making enough money from there art

[@patino851]

In a way blender for "beginners" and generalist houdini for Pro's. Blender is exponentially getting better. At some point houdini will be an enthusiast blender relic add on.😊

[@blendereverything]

hehehee, i admire your enthusiasm but houdini is also growing exponentially, like 3 times more than blender

[@batucenk3997]

Houdini's growth rate is much higher than you think. Studios that used Biofrost just over 10 years ago have now switched to Houdini. Blender will stay out of this race unless it offers a full-time support system and changes the render engine, which is bootnet.

[@rajendrameena150]

Houdini is only worth if you are making simulation type things but it is not the case always because we have to do complete project that need modelling and other 3D task in which Blender excels.

[@blendereverything]

thats why you need blender and houdini not blender only or houdini only

[@nvadgonemind3566]

dude you didnt just compare houdini with blenderlmfao. wtf fuck dude houdini is in another league

[@LeandroSaleia]

No, we are not 😊

[@Ciao_Bambino]

Should i use houdini ? The question is more, can blender's users afford it.

[@Zamundani]

stick to blender. soon they will work on the simulation aspect of it which is the only advantage Houdini have. houdini will face 3ds max fate. only indians and old timy artists will still be using it. 😂

You can try it as see if you like it, I do like it. Blender fangirls are dreaming if they think blender will ever compare lol
