HOUDINI INDIE
As an independent filmmaker or indie game developer, your goal is to create professional-quality work with a small team and tight budget. Houdini Indie helps you accomplish this by making all the features of Houdini FX affordable for indies.
Houdini Indie provides you with a procedural pipeline-in-a-box where all the steps needed to set up a shot are represented by networks of nodes. These nodes can be maintained deep into production which makes it easy to make last minute creative decisions that empower you and your team to achieve great things
MODELING
Interactive & Procedural
Whether you are modeling by hand or working procedurally, Houdini Indie helps you create large models faster than ever before. The modeling tools in Houdini Indie make it easier to create good surface topology for use in Film, TV, Games and VR, and can be used interactively in the viewport or procedurally in the Network editor. Choose from a wide variety of polygon, NURBS and Subdivision Surface modeling tools while procedural techniques can be used to maintain a robust construction history and to create highly detailed models.
CHARACTER
Rigging & Animation
Houdini Indie offers a complete solution for rigging and animating characters and creatures. These tools include Auto-rigging, Muscle and Flesh, Vellum Cloth, Hair and Fur and more. The new Biharmonic skin capturing will save riggers valuable time while the FEM-based muscles produces high-realism results.
The node-based approach fits perfectly with the working methodology of a typical character rigging TD. Characters can be easily wrapped up into a pipeline-friendly Digital Asset node to be animated using invisible rigs, the character picker and the pose library. Houdini Indie also includes a full Crowd solution to handle mid-background characters.
