Houdini 13
Houdini 13
Is out.
As always, very strong on the FX side (no pun intended).

The Finite Element Solver looks awesome. Overall, I think it looks like a really solid release, I am just not too big of a fan of their marketing direction this time.

You mean their focus on the FX rather than the other branches of 3d (modeling, animation, etc)? Not sure that's what a marketing direction is, but I get what you mean if that's what you're referring to.

Agreed. I think if it was not for the step learning curve and being less good at character work it kicks everyone else.The Finite Element Solver looks awesome. Overall, I think it looks like a really solid release.

Re: Houdini 13
I was thinking the other way around.
If Autodesk were to re-release XSI 6.5, sans ICE, it might just make a "perfect companion to Houdini".

Re: Houdini 13
Companion to Houdini ??
Theres nothing Houdini can't do as well or even better then Ice, is there ??
Sure Ice is a bit faster in some examples but except of that ?

Re: Houdini 13
Did you even bother to read my post?
Take away ICE (hence XSI 6.5) and Softimage still offers some of the things Houdini lacks.
Modeling and Character Animation aren't Houdini's strong points IIRC.

Re: Houdini 13
And they just don't seem to bother apparently. That's a shame ... with a little more tweaks on this, I think Houdini could take Maya place as the central platform of pipelines.Hirazi Blue wrote:Modeling and Character Animation aren't Houdini's strong points IIRC.
Re: Houdini 13
Not exactly, for their "Marketing Direction" I was actually referring to the darker theme they went with this time around. I understand they released on Halloween, I am just not a fan of the route they decided to market their new release. To your point though, it would have been neat to see some more modeling and animation enhancements. I see why they focused on FX though, as that is already one of their strong suits and if they want to show to users that Houdini is a better choice than ICE or BiFrost it seems like they added some really nice additions.McNistor wrote:Which is what?Rez007 wrote:I am just not too big of a fan of their marketing direction

Regardless, the bullet points that they put into this release seems like a lot, at least compared to what we have been getting over the years.
