About Houdini
Houdini is a vector graphics software that helps businesses in filmmaking, game development, and motion graphics industry create multiple iterations, share workflows, build simulations, and create 3D models on a centralized platform. The procedural modeling tool enables staff members to maintain a construction history and create cityscapes, environments, and other surface topology models.
Houdini allows developers to utilize the built-in animation and rigging tools to create custom characters and creatures with muscles, hair, furs, clothing, and more. The terrain system enables employees to create layers and use procedural noise and mask out area tools to edit terrains according to individual preferences. The crowds tool allows graphic designers to manage crowd layouts, rag doll dynamics, steering, collision avoidance, terrain adaptation, and motion blending processes.

It also allows visual effects artists to create particle and dynamic simulations. The asset creation tool lets users encapsulate node networks into shareable custom nodes.
