Houdini 是一个特效方面非常强大的软件。

许多电影特效都是由它完成：《指环王》中“甘道夫”放的那些“魔法礼花”，还有“水马”冲垮“戒灵”的场面，后天中的龙卷风等等，a52的汽车广告，反正只要是涉及DD公司制作的好莱坞一线大片，几乎都会有Houdini参与和应用。

Houdini不光只适用于视觉特效的制作，随着HOUDINI适用于各种平台，并且出现了很多的HOUDINI培训教学，HOUDINI开始进入了动态图像设计领域。

因为其自身的流程化特性，加上其强大的动力学系统，让HOUDINI在数据可视化方面占有一席重要的地位，让图形设计师能够通过它表达自己的观点。

《Houdini初学者入门训练视频教程》中文字幕版：In this title, Senior Visual Effects Artist Robby Branham provides a thorough introduction to Side FX’s Houdini 17. It’s an exciting time when you first start working inside of a procedural 3D environment. Projects that can be difficult with traditional 3D applications often end up with road blocks that are not easily worked around. Adding Houdini to your tool belt will allow you to overcome those road blocks and iterate through the technical and creative process with less effort and more flexibility. In this title, the fundamental concepts of Houdini’s procedural environment is covered. Houdini’s nodes, parameters, groups and attributes are broadly discussed to give artists a deeper understanding on how Houdini creates and manipulates data. This introduction to Houdini gets hands-on with the basics of procedural modeling, rigid body dynamics, fracturing, pyro simulations, VEX visual scripting and more. There is also an introduction to rendering inside of Houdini using the built-in renderer Mantra. Step-by-step tutorials cover asset creation, fire effects, particle dust, expressions, materials and lights. Workflows for exporting the 3D data to other applications, like Maya, are used to enable artists to build a shot using multiple 3D packages. Robby then gives a four-part breakdown of the cover art that shows the visual effects production process from concepting and previsualizing a shot to asset creation, fx animation, rendering, and final compositing. Houdini is a must for any 3D artist looking to take their skills to a new level. Intro to Houdini 17 is designed to get you up and running quickly so that you can enable yourself with the skills needed to work procedurally.更多精彩Houdini中文教程：《Houdini腾云驾雾特效制作训练视频教程》中文字幕版：《Houdini粒子系统全面核心训练视频教程》中文字幕版：《Houdini初学者入门训练视频教程》中文字幕版：
