Why blender artists love Houdini

I think you want to make switch from blender to Houdini. We are very happy with blender and maybe some people may consider Houdini for special simulation task.

[fameplatform]

Blender artists are not switching to any other 3d software for blender keep improving every day so don't lie to anyone

Regarding the price, it should be added that Blender's plug-ins are all bought out, with lifetime use and subsequent updates included in the purchase, while Houdini is an annual fee system, which requires payment every year.

10 point swish for the SEO title hustle 😂🖤🤙🏽 enjoy Houdini, I’ll stick with the grease pencil to vse pipeline of Blender 🤙🏽

[rajendrameena]

Houdini is only worth if you are making simulation type things but it is not the case always because we have to do complete project that need modelling and other 3D task in which Blender excels.

Ah, at 0:52 I'm pretty sure that was the HorseFacePlant node in action. Man, Houdini sure is specific at times.

To be fair, there are tons of Houdini Assets that can do many of these things. Also, if you build it once, you pretty much have an addon to generate many different variations. I also not sure the learning curve on Houdini is crazy high, it's just different and if you never learned any 3d package, not sure you would think Houdini is hard to learn. It only hard if your mental model is attached to a different way of doing something. I also think the quality you get from all the tools in Houdini are really strong, not sure any blender add-on is going to be much better.

Can Houdini open with a default cube? I don't think so. Not everyone wants simulations lol

Fanboys who have never installed Houdini and never wondered about it praise Blender. Blender cannot be Houdini's apprentice in any subject, including modeling. It is a completely professional, industrial 3D software. Those who only draw donuts in their lives and talk here should first do some research on why they continue to use Houdini after Blender came out. Don't tell them about their own special plugins etc. Houdini is a brain surgeon and Blender is a newly hired nurse.

Blender artists are not switching to Houdini. Not sure where you got your information from. Blender is free and much easier to use and in my opinion, it’s better than Houdini.

i want to make 30 secs shorts by using animation Blender Could you Please tell me How much vram we need and ram and RTX type

[Zamundani]

the price if a bought all the famous addon in blender market i will be way less than Houdini price.

[DesignWithToni]

Blender is becoming like houdini slowly

[JayceAllanGuitar]

I can't imagine anything more difficult than blender. I find it very difficult to use. I ended up using Fusion 360 for guitar designs. Blender isn't really for product design in my opinion, definitely an effects and animation product. My goal is to learn it this year and make a few short movies. They need to make a 3D system for dummies like me! LOL

I don't know too many people, or studios for that matter, who use houdini exclusively in their pipeline. Most people use it with either Maya or Blender or some other professional level application to accomplish specific tasks in a high level production. For almost everything else, their pipeline is driven by Maya, for example.

[radityasans]

Blender artist who? I'm still using Blender btw

[woodie]

lol, I switched from Houdini to Blender. Still use Houdini to make VDBs and particle sims. But then just bring it back to blender.

[patino]

In a way blender for "beginners" and generalist houdini for Pro's. Blender is exponentially getting better. At some point houdini will be an enthusiast blender relic add on.😊

[Dante]

You can't compare $200 worth of add ons you own permanently to a $200 annual license. Unless youre making good money off houdini, it makes absolutely no sense to switch

[crystalparticle]

Blender only relying on add ons.
Can’t do things alone
And no scripting and coding in houdini isn’t necessary
