30 years of hard working, didn't give up to Autodesk to make us pray to Houdini at the end. Congratulations from heart.

nice car rig) steering wheel turns right - car turns left 😄 1:14:11

The passion you all pour into this software is so apparent and makes me so incredibly proud to be apart of the community. We love you for it! Please never change! ❤

Houdini is probably the single most amazing 3D software in this world and the next. Most Amazing!

SideFX are just good humans. Thanks for all you do. ML done ethically is the the way. I’d caught that when you’d said it in the room at SIGGRAPH, and you stand by it. The true Adults in the room, and some of the best strategic moves in every area of the industry.

One of the only 3D programs that I can see where my money is going when I pay for it every year!

The SIDEFX team are simply the best people in the industry. Please, never sell.

houdini is one of the softwares that WOWs me with every release. look at all these new stuff being released, amazing work .

The new animation / rigging system is like a dream come true. They’ve basically made animbot a native feature, added auto rigging tools to kinefx which was already revolutionary, but they’ve gone so much further. Being able to update trig’s on the fly, transfer rigs, the ease of applying mocap data while retaining all of your animation controls…. I can’t even look at other softwares now. Side fx wins.

You guys are geniuses. This is the only software that has really meaningful releases with well thought out features. Seems like you guys actually listen to what your users want! I actually see where my money is going. Why would I ever use another software? Please never change!

31:12 Completely blew my bind. This is sorcery.

I switched to solaris as a lookdev/lighting artist a year and a half ago. I'm pretty confident in my sops skills, having the remaining tools available at that level makes me so happy. Thank you so much.

I don't know what do u think about other arcs, but this new animation environment is insane! I mean, that's how it should be done everywhere.

Agents walking around obstacles but also avoiding each other is a lowkey time saver.

not sure what to say other than you're the best, holy duck that was great

So exited after maniacally reloading the sideFX site :D

watched for the complete two hour video without stopping/ amazing tools Thank you Sidefx

Amazing as usual! So much new content to dive into! Thanks for all the hard work, and thanks for involving, helping and updating the community in all the ways you do

Thank you very much SESI for this release, you guys nailed with every release but this one is HUGE!!!!

We need detailed tutorials about APEX and thanks so much for releasing the scenes with the Content Library.

Holy Crud!!!! The animation tools are simply god level!!! You beautiful minds at sidefx are definitely something else... 🤗🤗🤗🧡🧡🧡

i m glad they are adding a feather tool built in houdini

You all are incredible at what you do. The rapid integration of technological advancements into this software is truly commendable. Congratulations on the release of H20, SideFX.

Insane!!!! Cant wait to try it! Thank you so much for your hardwork. Please share tutorials for the demos in the keynote! Especially the cave example, and whitewater...

Wow, just wow! A lot to take in ... I'm ready!!! Can't wait for this release 👌

THANKS A LOT SIDEFX. The character world is change with this updates

I feel like this is the only company that treats major version releases seriously and not just as a half baked cash grab.

very exciting update. Can't wait for the release.

The Houdini Ocean System is just incredible, isn't it? Whoever crafted the procedural node code behind it must be a real genius.

Mind has been completely blown away.

Awesome, and thank you all🙏🙏

you guys deserve a name the King!

That's amazing guys! Congrats!

As a hair groomer, the feather tool looks promising like nothing I've ever seen. I just wish a tool for braids and dreadlocks comes next. Great job SideFX

oh boy, when they say kinefx is not for production back in 18.5, they really meant it.

Insane awesome Work ! Congratulations SideFx !

Putting graphs in the sop context is genius, something like animation curve resampling is basically already there in sops so you just push data around. They follow their own principles to logical conclusion

Please, never stop developing tools for animation! iam jumping to Houdini train now! :D

what a beautiful software. Congrats to the SideFx team, another amazing release! cant wait to test it! :DDDDD

Love it! The underlying power of the apex system will be tremendous! 😀 I also really feel like creating clouds right now... and testing Karma xpu. Great work!

Houdini it's not a Software. Our life ❤️ very very emotionally connected this software

Amazing release, can't wait!

SideFX is a gift that keeps giving ...the feather system is looking awesome! Also cant wait to test out the Karma Render!

17:28 What a fast result 😮

Massive release! Congratulations SideFX!

Fantastic updates to Solaris and Karma.

insane, good job sideeffects love yall

I love everything about Houdini. If I could marry a piece of code, that would be it.

Great work SideFX, really great work :)

This is a godly release.

The Animation Bookmark function is trivial but what I have really wanted for a long time. SideFX never disappoints.

so amazing, cant wait to get into Apex and really exciting news about the Vulcan viewport!

Great update!

Mind blown! 🤯

Holy moly the animation tools are sooooo good!! lol

Thank you !!!!

Awesome!!!! Like it!

That's all cool as ever. But someone please explain to me why these guys are so diligently neglecting to show users how Houdini tools work? There is already an update of the muscle system and there is no video material about how this system works at all. Who are they doing this for? For fifty users who know Houdini perfectly, so they can read the documentation and understand everything? Why put so much effort and resources into the development of all these amazing tools and yet so neglect the video tutorials? Let's take a look at the Houdini community. Compared to other programs like blender and 3d max, it's a small community. Because there is no way to learn this program consistently and systematically. Not everyone can read and understand the documentation correctly. For this you need to be already an expert in Houdini! What should people who decide to start learning Houdini do? They should be prepared for an incredibly painful search for answers to the various questions that arise as they learn this program. But why can't the developers provide their users with enough video tutorials? What is the reason for this? Don't they realize that the Houdini community will never grow at this rate? You've spent a year developing all these tools. But who are you doing it for? Why don't you spend one week making a tutorial video for these new tools?

Looking forward to it!

dope !! based on this, i can tell h20.5 and h21 will have alien powers

Awesome

Daaam, so many great things. Did i hear cinematic realtime vulkan render coming 🤘

Love all the KineFX and Animation features!!!!!!!!!

Excellent release! I can’t believe it, but it will be possible to write in OpenCL almost the same way as in VEX? Or is it just a thin wrapper over the current OpenCL? Will there be appropriate documentation for OpenCL Snippet?

houdini is a magical swiss knife

When will these items be on the content library? I LOVE every single update given! Super excited for car controller!

Love this❤❤❤❤❤❤

Congratulations SideFX!

Really impressive!

This is awesome! Some great new features, I'm especially excited about the AI terrain tool, looks really cool. Also happy to see UE5 integration get's some love!

Amazing, now I can be an animator

Finally new animation tools🎉

Best 3D devs!

Flippen awesome.

love it

Wow! the animation tools look very very promising. I'm a big fan of KineFX so I really look forward to playing around with this.

Very excited to try out the new conetwist SOP!!! I've been studying this for months and months now and still it was difficult to wrap my head around it. Sometimes it works but then other times it wouldn't work. Hopefully using this node, checking documentation and dissecting the asset will free me from this pain

SideFX is in da house 👏 Epic release and presentation 🤗 Shout out to the black magic wizard level devs making all of this possible ❤

HOUDINI FOR LIFE

Very impressive new features, those tech from side FX should have found a time portal. it defines the futur of CG animations.

Oui !!!!

Hope to see the final volume integration into XPU, with full shader, depth AOV and so on. Thanks SideFX!

I had know idea that feathers were in such high demand. I hope the new groom tools also help with long hair grooms :)

HOUDINIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

My mind is blown away, pushed back, and melted down. Insane. But this is still not enough to argue with blender users.

Oh yes. Yes and yes :)

This is big-brain software as always. I would love to see a game engine made by the Houdini team.

I've pondered many many years what 3D Software I want to learn in addition to my years of professional software development experience and (as a hobby) music production and video editing. I want to create artistic effects and models for games, 3D printing and visual animations. After reading and looking more and more into Houdini it surpasses the competition in many regards and by now I'm certain, that I'll invest myself into Houdini. First with the Indie license and when I manage to make any relevant money with it I'll gladly update to the full perpetual license.

Nice！！！

Congrats SideFX, awesome release! Now I wait for another Alpha! 😊

love this so much, what a piece of software! would love to see a bit more love for houdini apprentice, some limitations don't make a lot of sense when learning houdini if I want to fill a houdini-based role in a company, would even pay for it if I'm just learning, something between apprentice and indie.

lets go

is there a preview build? the karma clone control would help me this weekend 😅

Meanwhile Autodesk: "In our latest release we invented brand new, extraordinary, tremendous...ICONS"

We cannot add our own materials to Material Catalog, right? Please modify it and let us add our own materials, to use it as a material library. Also, what happens when GPU runs out of memory? Is there 'out of core' support for XPU? Like in Redshift or Octane? Amazing release! Love you guys!

wow

Houdini is the only program that gets better with use instead of worse like with other general 3d packages. I tried them all... they all pale in comparison. I'm an old school modeler from the 90's & use Houdini to design machine tools just to let you know how much power and versatility this program has. Never change SideFX!!!

❤‍🔥

Wooow

fantastic sidefx, thank you for the hard work!, there will be updaates on the weight paintings on the rigging side? I tried to use the biharmonic capture and fix some of with with bone paint but it was all clunky :(
