Side Effects Software, an industry leader in 3D animation and visual effects software, is proud to announce the immediate release of Houdini 12.5 which offers a wealth of new and enhanced features including Cloud FX , Ocean FX, OpenVDB volume sculpting tools and an optimized lighting and rendering pipeline with built-in support for delayed-load Alembic primitives.

Houdini FX combines superior performance and dramatic, ease-of-use to deliver a powerful and accessible 3D experience to VFX artists creating feature films, commercials or video games. With its procedural node-based workflow, Houdini lets you create more content faster to reduce timelines and enjoy enhanced flexibility in all your creative tasks.

Side Effects Software has announced the release of Houdini 15 with onion skinning, new shader building tools, crowd ragdolls and Houdini Engine 2.0. This new version enhances modeling, rendering and animation tools to meet the needs of generalists, animators, lighters, and game makers while the VFX tools become faster, more scalable and more efficient at handling big data.

SideFX Houdini Master— the powerful program for modelling and creation of the special effects, simultaneously being a functional package 3D schedules. The program allows to make difficult shots without necessity of use of additional plug-ins or group of programmers. Film production can count on help Houdini Master in creation of tremendous video-effects and animation. Among innovations of the tenth version it is necessary to note possibility of use of the several computers united in a local network, for imitation of behaviour of the liquids, new tools Pyro FX for smoke and fire creation, technology Interactive Photorealistic Rendering (IPR) for fast viewing of changes which are brought in illumination of three-dimensional scenes, work with the three-dimensional data. Houdini Master differs presence of tools for creation of dynamics and visual effects with particles.

SideFX has released a new sneak peek for Houdini 17.5.173, the next update to its 3D animation and FX software. Version 17.5 introduces PDG which is designed to enhance SideFX’s procedural architecture to distribute tasks and manage dependencies to better scale, automate, and analyze content pipelines for Film, TV, Games, Advertising and VR.

Houdini 10 is the first commercially-available application to slice up and distribute fluid simulations over a network of computers. 3D artists will benefit from faster simulation times in addition to the ability to create simulations at a much bigger size and scale than would be possible with a single computer. Studios and boutiques can integrate these distributed fluid sims using existing pipeline tools, or work with HQueue a new python-based job manager which can also distribute Mantra renderings. HQueue jobs can be launched using a Houdini output node and then monitored using HQueue’s artist-friendly web interface. For fluid simulations, each node on the farm can be equipped with Houdini Batch to process the slices and keep your workstation licenses free for interactive work.
