SideFX Houdini FX 16.0.557 WinMacLnx - 纳金网

Houdini是一款三维计算机图形软件，由加拿大Side Effects Software Inc.（简称SESI）公司开发，SESI公司由Kim Davidson和Greg Hermanovic创建于1987年。Houdini是在Prisms基础上重新开发而来，可运行于Linux, Windows, Mac OS等操作系统，是完全基于节点模式设计的产物，其结构、操作方式等和其它的三维软件有很大的差异。Houdini自带的渲染器是Mantra，基于 Reyes渲染架构，因此也能够快速的渲染运动模糊、景深和置换效果。Mantra是经过产品验证的成熟渲染器，可以满足电影级别的渲染要求。当然，Houdini也有第三方渲染器的接口，比如：RenderMan、Mental ray、Vray和Torque等，可以把场景导出到这些渲染引擎进行渲染。

Side Effects Software, an industry leader in 3D animation and visual effects software, is proud to announce the immediate release of experimental Houdini Engine plug-ins for public preview. These plug-ins allow for deep integration of Houdini technology into Autodesk Maya and the Unity editor and will be available freely to CG artists during the experimental testing period.

The Houdini Engine now includes access to all of the new Houdini 13 features such as finite elements, enhanced Bullet, new particle tools and a feature-rich Find Shortest Path tool. The plug-ins were written with the recently updated Houdini Engine API 1.5 which adds texture baking, volume support, and more. Volume support is especially notable because it lets artists work with assets built using Pyro and Cloud FX tools in the Houdini Engine.
