Description

Houdini was designed from the ground up to empower artists to work freely, create multiple iterations, and quickly share workflows with their colleagues. Houdini stores every action in a node. These nodes are "wired" into networks that define a "recipe", which can be tweaked to improve the outcome, then repeated to create unique results. Houdini's procedural nature is due to the ability of nodes to be saved or to pass information (in the form of attributes) down the chain. Houdini's unique nodes are what make it powerful. However, there are many viewport and shelf tools which allow for artist-friendly interaction. Behind the scenes, Houdini creates the networks and nodes for you. Houdini allows artists to explore new creative paths, as it is easy for them to branch off to explore other solutions.

Description

Shade 3D has reached over 500,000 active users globally and finds applications across various sectors of the 3D industry. Recently, a new Subdivision technique has been introduced, enhancing the well-known Catmull-Clark subdivision approach; this is called OpenSubdiv, which allows for precise control over edge sharpness and targeted subdivision application. This innovative tool effectively reduces the polygon count of objects while maintaining their original form, making it ideal for gaming and models sourced from 3D scanners. Additionally, the Wrapping Mesh tool can merge multiple complex objects into a single watertight shape, which is particularly beneficial for 3D printing. To further assist users, a newly developed 3D Printing Assistant is now available, providing features to check and repair models, ensuring they are fully prepared for 3D printing in STL and OBJ formats. This comprehensive suite of tools enhances the user's ability to create, modify, and finalize 3D models with greater efficiency and precision.
