My big respect to guy who has made a decision to put this soundtrack here. Its amazing!! For real! )

[eliasmckee]

I dont think SideFX ever “intends” on taking a steaming shit on everyone else’s doorstep, thats just how good their team is. Amazing work as always guys!

These Houdini People always surprise. They always come up with so many new changes and thats what I like about them.

[nileshrajput]

the music is rightfully building up and keeping us at the edge as the magician is showing us some tricks!!

[alexamos]

This is fantastic ! I love new Houdini releases, I still have a ton to learn for 18.5, but all the new tools that's close to what I do for work is going to be a major benefit.

Thanks to all who worked on this, love you all !

Why is everyone fighting over programs that have pros and cons?
Being a toxic fan is not good for any industry.

[KOJOJO]

I cried when I saw "retargeting" it is been 8 months since I used my Houdini. Thanks god for answering my prayers!

Amazing release guys!!! The explosions look incredible and the pyro trail path is very handy! Well done!

Houdini is one software that I'm willing to pay for. Take my money.

Blender and Houdini pog

even as a none professional with little to no knowledge I understand that Houdini is shaping the future of film making and game design. although i will never be able to use this it is extremely exciting to imagine what workflows will be accessible in the future.
