C4D ten times easier, Houdini ten times more powerful

[gotinspired]

I use cinema 4d, I find it easy and better to use of realistic physical motion graphics

[rezo]

Cinema 4D = Motion Graphics.
Houdini = Simulation/VFX.

[JoshMay]

Houdini is the best software in the world at simulating reality accuratley, its just overkill for most studios unless its feature film or very high budget advertising

[tanishk]

Freelancers be using aftereffects saying they "know" VFX

[kamaur]

Great video. The one thing I would correct you on is that C4D doesn't have a great particle system.
That's why many switched to Houdini. When the x-particles plugin came out that helped.

[miriades]

Houdini is not difficult to learn. People tend to say that because they heard that and just repeat. It’s some confirmation bias. Houdini is like every other softwares. You learn it and that’s good, with some difficulties because of old habits, like other softwares nothing less. It’s very powerful but not difficult as most people seems to repeat. Sometimes, I think people like to say something is difficult because in our mind, more difficult/complicated equals more value in mastering 🤷‍♂️ but Houdini is not harder than the others.

I can predict next 7 videos from this channel - 
History Of Houdini
History of Cinema 4D
History of Zbrush
ZBrush vs Mudbox Which is better
Mari vs Substance Designer which is better
3ds MAX vs Maya which is better
Blender vs Nuke which is better

[Christophersarts]

I choose Cinema 4D, Because is so compatible with Adobe After Effects. Good for VFX artists. 😉👍

[rdrdrd]

Houdini compliments Cinema 4d via plug-in. Best of both worlds.

[DN]

Amazing what you can create. Now I want to be an artist!

[pawelvg]

Please do similar video about render engines :)

[stubblestudios]

History of blender, maya, max have done. Is houdini's coming?

[nosliwyelir]

Very helpful, gonna take the plunge and learn Houdini

[gencthaci]

Man this channel used to be a 3d modeling channel now its a comparison channel

[biswanathghosh]

Can someone tell me HOUDINI FX software which version have to download.. please send me the details it will helpful

[DN]

What’s the learning curve on these ? Months, years?

[sixxmahmud]

Pls do a maya vs c4d video too... would love to know my stance as a Maya user

[indranilray]

I use 3DS Max and After Effects for my projects, for product demonstrations I use Element 3D as well, want to jump to the next level, which one should I learn, C4D or Houdini ?

[IlkinKarachay]

Your accent makes me wonder about your nationality. Where are you from and I also would like to know where you get these knowledge from. You have made dozens of videos comparing application which makes me wondering how did you learn so many applications.
