What is Houdini?

Houdini is a general-purpose 3D animation package (much in the way that Maya, 3ds Max and XSI are) and is developed by Side Effects Software. Historically, top studios from around the world have come to rely upon Houdini for creating some of the most demanding and accomplished visual-effects shots ever committed to film. Houdini's main draw is its groundbreaking procedural architecture which can be utilised to save time and money. It's now also becoming more and more an option for smaller facilities and individuals thanks to recent price restructuring and usability enhancements.

Side Effects provide a free noncommercial learning edition of Houdini called Houdini Apprentice which is ideal to learn with.
