Why Houdini Has No Rivals in Simulation
Рет қаралды 42,140
7 күн бұрынIf you ask any 3D artist about the best tool for simulation, they'll universally agree about one software, as if there is no competition at all. That software in question is Houdini, a name that has always been the best.

I've used Modo, Blender, Maya, ZBrush, and now Houdini. Even from a modeling perspective, Houdini gives you the most control and is superior to the other packages, IMO. Once you understand how to use attributes and occasionally a little bit of VEX, alongside it's procedural workflow, no other modeling DCC comes close. It also comes with HoudiniEngine, which is invaluable in game dev pipelines and last I checked none of the other software have a bridging application as advanced as HoudiniEngine.

Rigid bodies voxel based has no rival in thinking particles. If you add phoenix+tyflow+ max its still cheaper than houdini.

@@zatlanibrahim5438 Other simulation packages don't require you to learn how to program code line by line, such as the plugins mentioned in this video for Maya and 3ds Max. Chaos Pheonix FD Autodesk Bifrost Thinking Particles Realflow Turbulence FD ZivaVFX ...and many more. There are separate applications like Embergen and Liquigen and Realflow that are offered, amongst many others. You can get fantastic results without ever opening Houdini and you don't need to have a programmer mindset to use them either. Houdini really only makes sense if you need a project with totally nondestructive workflow as that allows you to independently change things without negatively impacting other things up and down the chain of a desired outcome. Technical artists that actually need to change thousands of primitives in a scene by changing one variable, would definitely be less of a hassle in Houdini, compared to using other software that isn't as non-destructive in workflow; for anything else where that isn't required, the other software suffices and can produce very similar or better quality results in similar or less timeframe without any programmer or technical know-how, which is what we should be pushing in the industry anyway. Not everyone wants to program, nor is it necessary, outside of those who are making the apps. The artist just wants to make stuff at the end of the day.
@zedeon6299 5 күн бұрын
It's good but the lack of guide on the internet is bad, the hardest part of Houdini is basically figuring out a problem that you can't google search, which happens quite often for me, Houdini community is quite small compared to other 3d programs so if you have a problem you have to solve it on your own or paid expensive course....
@zurasaur 5 күн бұрын
You do genuinely get better results out of the box in most areas within Houdini. Not only does it look better, but it can handle a massive amount of geometry, you can combine solvers to make pretty much any type of simulations interact with each other. Houdini gives the ultimate control and the ultimate set of tools to do literally anything. This amount of control comes with a crazy learning curve, and it can feel very difficult to do simple tasks, and sometimes very simple to do very challenging tasks. The biggest selling point is that everything is procedural. You can go back and tweak settings at the start of your project, without having to start again from scratch. Imagine a client needed a change, this can be very helpful.

But Still can’t compete with built-in Maya advanced skeleton characters. And the decrepid blender NLA will thankfully be killed off when “Baclava” arrives with a new animation layer system ..in 2025. And there are no Blender cloth or hair addons that can compete with Maya’s Ncloth or Xgen hair Blender with My Flip Fluids(or RDB labs) addons, still can’t compete with Houdini’s procedural workflows or even Bifrost & Aero in Maya because Blender CORE is took weak to handle the data flows such as cached rig evaluation for real time viewport performance which is also why geometry nodes will hit a hard limit that even high specced hardware can’t overcome.

I've tried it to learn when i was beginner but it has very high learning curve. This software much more suitable for intermadiate and advanced artists. I think the only downside of houdini is modeling. I prefer to model in 3dsMax because it's much easier. However, if you model repetitive models, in that case it can come in handy.

I have a feeling that software like Houdini are going to become truly unlocked through AI -not as a form of generative substitution to human ingenuity, but rather as a language interface. The node based system only works if you understand exactly how the different nodes interact with each other, the limitations, the possibilities, etc. This makes a very steep learning curve, and it also makes simple tasks very complicated (tho complicated tasks easier, as said by another commenter). If AI is introduced at the language interface level, instead of working with nodes directly, you could instead communicate in regular speech with an AI model that then builds the node system to your specifications. This can allow you to generate very complex simulations in a very short amount of time because the tedious labor is taken care of by the AI following your instructions -and at any time if you wish to fine-tune and tweak a specific aspect of the node system the AI has built, you can simply go into manual override and change the things you want, after the AI has built the main blueprint for it. When we think of how AI can assist in workflow, this is the kind of stuff I'm most excited for. Not the generic generative social media type stuff everyone gets mad about. Not the stuff that replaces jobs. Rather, the stuff that creates jobs, by minimizing the tedious aspects of things like simulation physics -removes a large part of the learning curve, adapts the software to our benefit rather than us having to spend a ton of effort to work on the software's terms. The famous saying of "most people don't want to understand computer language. They want computers to understand human language", this is where AI truly has its main benefits in this industry.

No, Bifrost has no real meaningful market-share, Houdini is dominating. The ratio of both is 97 to 3. I am being very nice here, I pulled these numbers out of my arse (the truth is probably much worse). Also Bifrost is NOT Naiad, doesn't matter if it was technically its predecessor, they are not comparable. Autodesk fucked up (to nobodies surprise), crippled Naiad while not providing a proper replacement, development went at snails pace for years. All while Houdini was trailblazing fast and consistently. Naiad was great back then, Bifrost is still meh. I've tested it myself (superficially I admit). What stood out was the lack of performance while showing an incredible high demand for hardware resources. Houdini simply runs circles around Bifrost - effortlessly. Lack of educational resources doesn't really help the adoption rate. There is a reason for why people and studios avoid it and it has a lot to do with Autodesk's reputation.

@@businessmanager7670 You AI-bros don't really think that through to its logical conclusion. If AI-software will eventually outperform and destroy these traditional tools (which isn't guaranteed), what do you think will happen? Trained and experienced artists will use these AI tools and they will outperform and destroy non-artists. Creative people with experience in creating art themself will ALWAYS create better results than people that can't express themselves artistically and are dependent on an external tool to create something. If the tools are making everyone equal the one with more knowledge and experience will have an advantage over those who don't. Always has been the case, always will be.
