Over the last few years! Blender Guru got very interested on Houdini. And that's just great. Imagine if one day he starts teaching houdini for free. Just like blender. I think he will make super cool tutorials, just like how he did to blender.
Blender: We improve our UI, remake the sculpt feature. And make a real time render engine Houdini: We improve literally everything Max: chamfer modifier? It is new guys?
3ds max has the better performance of all the DCCs and it's the king for Archviz, so there is no point in comparing it to Blender or Houdini because Houdini is mainly used for FX, Sims and Proceduralism ,most regular Artists don't use it only handful of Tech Artists & blender has the worse performance and many workflow issues...Autodesk just released indie version around the world 20$/ month, really great deal for Artists & Hobbyists :)
Nah sorry 3dmax is very slow to create something, blender with hops/bcutter is 100x more efficient, and for the heavy task just use houdini, 3dsmax is just being perpetuated by studios and cg schools that don't want to face reality @@zed5449
@@edh615 haha Blender fast don't make funny jokes, it's the slowest of them all, it can't handle anything more than 100k poly or few modifiers before it crashes and it's worse than 2.7x in edit mode performance 😂, 3ds max still the king in Archviz like i have said and also used in product design & video games no one can beat it not even Houdini which is a complete non-friendly for Artists and has a very steep learning curve...the reality will remain as it is because Studios know what they're doing and know where to put their money in, fanboyism can't change that :)
its all in your head, nothing is impossible, but I found it very easy to learn after learning blender. when your CG fundamentals and terms are clear then it will be easy to learn any software. If somebody tells you its difficult to learn then you not even try to learn you just afraid to even try. so I suggest you try first and do go with the peoples opinions try for yourself.
it sound very similar to a throw together band i saw in 2002 A.I. in santa monica, the leader was a kid from a rich family with a studio , real cool guy , ray Mazurek from the doors was there, everyone was wow your gonna blow up ,the kid was all about ,nah , not really interested.. they wrote ,bottoms up, soul rescue, there you go, and alien sex ... all really good! i have no idea how i got them . or if they are on the interweb ?
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!
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 !
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.
Depends on the use. Maya is good at some tasks and Houdini at others. I'm so very impressed by their realistic fabric movement, flames and explosions. Getting the way those things move right is difficult.
rigging and modeling I use blender, simplest unreal engine is for the environment, rendering and animations for my characters AND ist 100% free all the versions, cool for making games and vids and its even compatible with a none nvidia/AMD laptop yet it works fine i cant leave it especially when the 5th version is promising even better features, got to love the niagra
All the character stuff mekes me happy, maybe one day I won't have to get back to maya for character work :), all the retargeting and clip mixing stuff looks awesome!
Purely Personal Reaction: While not as excitement inducing as the versions that introduced stuff like Vellum, PDG and Solaris, these are all very useful improvements that will warrant upgrading. I can see many in the games industry (and others) wanting many of these features/improvements and eventually wondering how they used to survive without them.
The guitar player had as much fun playing, as I did watching this, and you did making these amazing VFX POSSIBLE! PROPS, SideFX on adding even more awesomeosity to Houdini!
One click explosions, Wow! Impressive sims, There was never a doubt anyway, after this there will never be. This is the best dynamics software on the planet. :)
Brilliant update as always!! Move everything to one context as much as you can...reduce jumping around contexts... everything at one place one glance to understand whats going on the network.
I really need to start saving up for houdini. Blender cant do simulations that well and I want to get into fluid and softbody sims more. This looks amazing!
You could use the Indie version... which is for rent scheme. Or alternatively try the Apprentice version for free, to see if it's for you. It's not an easy 1-to-1 conversion from Blender as the workflow is radically different. But there's a lot of really nice tutorials online if you look for them.
When Vellum was introduced, i've commented it looked great, but MD had a feature Vellum might never have: direct interaction with the cloth. Fast forward to today, SideFX slaps my face and delivers that feature. Madness. But i still prefer MD, my workflow has estalished, don't want to change. Then they introduce KineFX. Wow, that's what MD lacks of, it opens a lot of possibilities. "Maybe i should make everything relating to cloth in Houdini from now on, no need for another software". MADNESS. Still need to try it hand on though. But hugh respect for SideFX.
SideFX - the only big software company I know that keeps truly innovating every year, and continues to make their (already amazing) product better and better, instead of adding some gimmicky nonsense invented by the marketing department. You can rely on them to blow your mind with something amazing once per year.
Nod to all old MAX user's "instead of adding some gimmicky nonsense" what like waiting all year then only getting a "EGG SPLINE" = "I so please i Jump ship years ago from Autodesk"
Holy shit. Those fire and smoke sim updates alone are worth the update. Another impressive release guys.
Holy crap it's blender guru

@@rutulpatel9971 I've been using 3dsmax for the past 23 years. It takes a while to get used to something new XD
@@mannythepirate Im sure you can do it! with 23y experience, dont you want to feel like a student again? ;DD
@@mannythepirate ...and some barbed wire on top
How many new features did you make for this .5 release?
SideFX: Yes.
they are using this weird alien music because this is what aliens listen to and Houdini devs are aliens confirmed!
my thoughts exactly. this is some alien / wizard shit.
HAHAHAHA ! !!! awesome !
😅🤣
hahahahahaha! i agreed
it sound very similar to a throw together band i saw in 2002 A.I. in santa monica, the leader was a kid from a rich family with a studio , real cool guy , ray Mazurek from the doors was there, everyone was wow your gonna blow up ,the kid was all about ,nah , not really interested.. they wrote ,bottoms up, soul rescue, there you go, and alien sex ... all really good! i have no idea how i got them . or if they are on the interweb ?
My big respect to guy who has made a decision to put this soundtrack here. Its amazing!! For real! )
These Houdini People always surprise. They always come up with so many new changes and thats what I like about them.
Video: is an ad for their software.
Also video: monetized with ads.
Stonks.
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!
I heard the upper management has a grudge against Autodesk and actively wants to take them down
God that would be amazing
the music is rightfully building up and keeping us at the edge as the magician is showing us some tricks!!
Insane to think that this is all just mathematics modeling reality
I know right? Underneath all this are just bunch of 1s and 0s
😅😅 Yeah
Really excited!! Can't wait to see the full presentation!
Why is everyone fighting over programs that have pros and cons?
Being a toxic fan is not good for any industry.
@Nathan Zhang Yeah but you don't need to act like a child about it.

Houdini is one software that I'm willing to pay for. Take my money.
Blender and Houdini pog
Depends on the use. Maya is good at some tasks and Houdini at others.
I'm so very impressed by their realistic fabric movement, flames and explosions. Getting the way those things move right is difficult.
I cried when I saw "retargeting" it is been 8 months since I used my Houdini. Thanks god for answering my prayers!
Hell yeah that soundtrack is awesome.
Step 1: Uninstall Blender.
Step 2: Sell House.
Step 3: Buy Houdini
@Dindu well, it's a form of commitment, blender is just a distraction,
you must commit your whole soul to become a Houdini master
@Dindu 399 dollars/2 years is not an unreasonable price at all. I wouldn't call that "big bucks".
i would go with Unreal engine. I can sell my creations and earn 100,000 {usd} a year without losing my home
@@extendedmedia2516 then, how do you model your character & environment, rig and animate with only unreal engine?
rigging and modeling I use blender, simplest unreal engine is for the environment, rendering and animations for my characters AND ist 100% free all the versions, cool for making games and vids and its even compatible with a none nvidia/AMD laptop yet it works fine i cant leave it especially when the 5th version is promising even better features, got to love the niagra
I swear to my great grandmother, I get goosebumps over and over while times watching this!
All the character stuff mekes me happy, maybe one day I won't have to get back to maya for character work :), all the retargeting and clip mixing stuff looks awesome!
I dunno. I'd love to ditch maya but they just announced USD, vr sculpting, and enhanced mocap cleanup
@@LannasMissingLink yeah, Usd helps a lot to erase the line between apps, now I just do what I find easier in each app

"See the rest on October 15"
THERE'S MORE??
Waiting on the render farm to catch up.
I’ve been watching this many times already. Just like a kid would, cheering for a new toy.! Abrakadabra! ;)
"Michael Bay wants to know your location"
Those explosions were very satisfying. Such beautiful lighting!
The rigging tools look insane! I'm very excited
Looks like my favorite programs all have improved cloth brushes now!
Beautiful fire effects
Amazing release guys!!! The explosions look incredible and the pyro trail path is very handy! Well done!
Those explosions were very realistic and beautiful, good job !

wow... closely reaching that realm of doing what you could only envision. now possible. wow. respect.
1:44 I didn't knew until now that Houdini is supported on Linux as well. Now I'm gonna be trying it out.
actually its originally written under linux platform
@@priyeshpv Close enough for government work? :p
That would be considered as alien technology 10 years ago
This video makes me the happiest person on earth
Brilliant update as always!! Move everything to one context as much as you can...reduce jumping around contexts... everything at one place one glance to understand whats going on the network.
I just create pretty much everything in the obj context, and USD is pretty much that, everything in the same context!
I'm hyped for kinefx! This really makes me want to buy houdini perpetual when i have the money
i think that was the coolest sneak peek music ive heard
I don't know how I got to his part of RUclips, but I'm liking it.
besides the AMAZING new features, your soundtracks are always on point. thanks guys
Me looking at my PC..
My PC: Haha nope, don't even think about it!!
This looks impressive and insanely complex at the same time!
I like the music! Nice Halloween theme. Can't wait!
R.I.P. Houdini
Those pyro needs a beast of system.
Houdini pyro really can't be matched. It's so good.
My intelligent got higher after watching this promote.
😂
By your grammar, obviously not.
@The Lavian Don't mind the fool, he thinks everybody on earth is a native English speaker. Can he speak Chinese and English?
@@yestermonth Yes, I can, including russian as well.
@The Lavian I didn’t delete any comments, however RUclips by default does if the channel hasn’t changed their settings.
Jaw dropping, as always.
Oh man!1...That explosions were so cool. Houdini is totally in another league from the rest.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's so amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blender + Houdini forever 😊
woah the music is really cool
Omg the reveal is on my birthday
Happy happy birthday to you then...
My birthday is the day after 🥳🥳
happy birthday
Thank you all!!
@Xubse thank you! I appreciate it.🙂
I really like this "music" - It feels very alien to me
too bad it turns kinda normal after a few minutes :(
the first part is real alien stuff :D
Lorn's *ZeroBounce Album* or *A/D* is very similar if you're curious. I also love this kind of music to death.
Yes, the first few minutes is nice
epic ! thanks for the hardwork !!!
Whoa that fire right at 0:01!!!!!
time to master houdini to its limitless potienal
Amazing. Love HOUDINI so much!!!
I like this music.
Best software ever made
knocking it out of the park Sidefx.
Ima download it thanks for sharing!!
Thank You So Much For This, This is INCREDIBLE
Damn I love those Houdini videos.
SideFX never fails to impress! Look forward to Oct 15
thx for the free explosion stock footage houdini
Stayed for the Music
Amazing as always!!!
BROTHER, YOU ARE THE BEST!!! You oooh really helped me!! THANK YOU VERY
my computer contemplated its life during this video
Only thing I would ask are better modeling tools, but this update is so goooooood. I love the PDG new nodes.
I need those pyro sims in my life
great demo reel
FLAWLESS VICTORY
this is exciting! i was waiting for direct 19 release. 😉
I hope there is something new for Universal Scene Description (USD)! :-)
Just Amazing!

Closest thing to magic you'll ever get
yo bro, really thankya. Big respect
Awesome! (As always guys..... Well done!). 🤯
Incredibly intense and projects this melancholic cosmic nostalgia of sorts … or is just the AI waking up
perfect alien soundtrack
