Houdini Master is a full-featured 3D animation and visual effects software renowned for its particle and dynamics tools. Houdini Master is perfect for visual effects artists, technical directors and CG supervisors who want to experience total control over their pipeline.

From dust to debris to flocks of birds, particles offer a strong foundation on which you can build any effect. Houdini is most famous for its node-based particle workflow that lets you define a set of rules using interactive tools.

To build up complex particle systems, Houdini gives you access to a rules-based approach that offers unlimited control. Define the behaviour of the system or each individual particle using a network of nodes that set up a series of operations and conditions. By defining the rules, you can create particle simulations that behave the way you need them to no matter how many particles are involved.

The most impressive particle effects involve interaction between the other parts of your scene. In Houdini, particles can react to and influence geometry, dynamics, and even materials. This creates a shot that is alive with interconnections that would be impossible to manage with keyframes.

While particles are just points in space, their final rendered look will be quite different. From sprites to volumetrics to instanced geometry, there are a number of ways in Houdini for you to make your particles more realistic.

Create realistic motion that meets the creative needs of your director using Houdini's integrated dynamics tools. Built so that different solvers can talk to each other, you can simulate using any combination of Rigid Body, Fluid, Cloth and Wire solvers to create boundary-busting effects.

At the back-end of any CG project is where you render all your lights, geometry, and effects. With Houdini, you can rely on a robust built-in rendering solution called Mantra or full support for a wide variety of third party rendering options. Whatever route you choose, Houdini is the ideal environment for bringing together your render layers and reliably feeding the farm.

While you likely rely on an outside team of compositors to layer effects onto live action plates or tweak render passes, it does not hurt to do a little compositing as part of the lighting and rendering of your shots. With node-based compositors offering the most robust solution when working in production, Houdini’s approach carries over well to this area of production.

Scripting and programming play an important role in setting up production pipelines and tools. With Houdini’s node-based workflow and Digital Asset technology many tasks normally reserved for the programming team can now be handled by artists. Beyond that there are a number of robust scripting and programming tools available in Houdini with Python playing a key role.
