Houdini 是一个特效方面非常强大的软件，主要面对的是电影工业的特效制作与合成。与其他如3DS Max/After Effects等三维动画、特效合成软件不同的是，Houdini是一个节点软件，节点的操作具有非常强的逻辑性，同时它也是一个动态的建模软件，通过一个个节点和命令将各种对象组合在一起，在应对含有非常多的视觉元素的影视特效合成时通过节点的操作更加容易管理成千上万的视觉元素，而其它通过层来操作视觉元素的特效合成软件如After Effects在面对成千上万个视觉元素时显然是不现实的。许多电影特效都是由它完成:指环王中“甘道夫”放的那些“魔法礼花”还有“水马”冲垮“戒灵”的场面......后天中的龙卷风的场面等等，a52的汽车广告.反正只要是涉及DD公司制作的好莱坞一线大片，几乎都会有Houdini参与和应用.

Side Effects Software, an industry leader in 3D animation and visual effects software, is proud to announce new prices for Houdini designed to facilitate growth within the Houdini global community, simplified branding for the two Houdini workstation products and integration with the Orbolt Smart Asset Store to give Houdini artists access to the combined knowledge of the whole community.
To keep the focus on the Houdini brand and better describe the roles each product plays, Side Effects has rebranded its two workstation products as Houdini and Houdini FX. Houdini FX, formerly known as Houdini Master, includes all Houdini features with a focus on particles, fluids, Pyro FX, cloth, wire and rigid body dynamics. Houdini, formerly known as Houdini Escape, has become a popular choice for many studios with its comprehensive set of procedural modeling, rendering, and animation tools and its ability to open up and render scenes and assets created in Houdini FX.
At SIGGRAPH, Side Effects is releasing Houdini 12.1 which is the first version to integrate the Orbolt Smart Asset Store where members of the global Houdini community combine their knowledge and expertise to create customizable 3D assets. Being launched in beta, the Orbolt store offers assets which are thoroughly reviewed and tested before being offered for sale. The assets will work with both Houdini and Houdini FX and will provide production-ready solutions for VFX artists facing tight deadlines and rising costs.
Other features in Houdini 12.1 include the ability to create edge groups, a feature long coveted by Houdini artists, along with optimizations to FLIP fluids, Mantra rendering and Pyro FX.
