Blender may be free but it's a pain in the butt to get useful info on how to use it and it comes with no manual not to mention it's always obsolete when the newest version comes out which means all that time you spent to learn it becomes a useless chore! As for Houdini it's probably expensive as hell and which means it's also out of my financial reach! Sigh Houdini looks so awesome!
i'm still torn between softimage and houdini...ice reminds me of modeling inside rhino+grasshopper...but houdini is not autodesk which is good...you know what i mean
@naborghsoj08 because you're comparing a complete 3d package vs a 2d composting program...you better compare after effects with foundry nuke or eyeon fusion but AE is a baby compare to those two
lol blender?? please dont do insult of Houdini by comparing to blender!!! Houdini is they most powerful package around for fluids!!! Never seen better fire than Houdini at any point of time!!
Houdini is industry standard for 3d particles and procedural fx, max is standard for modeling, maya is standard for toonish animations, cinema 4d is standard for introduction creation (for news stations and such). ALL of these programs can produce the same material even something free such as blender. C4d is the easiest to learn (imo), max is next, houdini is normally associated with python programming and requires much more time (but art is achievable with any of the others). Hope it helps.
I started using Blender dude. Its overly complex and it works like a programmers modelling tool, not an artists. You can always 'download' better progs if you wanted.
@ultraphoennix Look I've never used Houdini, but from what I can see its a lot more complicated, and 3DS Max has got an impressive learning curve as it is. But Houdini is industry standard, and if y'know how to use it, then you should probably get it. Wait are you buying it? Or getting those "trial" versions?
@ultraphoennix Alright man, from what I've seen Houdini is much more complex. But yeah Houdini's proer and you can get tutorials pretty much anywhere. Could you tell me how it is once you get it? I might get a trial... version if I can.
Noob? Because professionals who worked in this field for who knows how long do something better than you? I'm sorry, but you are simply stupid if that makes you feel like a noob.
@TheSnIpA66 Lol no you can't. Not at all. You can get sort of close if you have a ton of experience and a very good programming background. I've used Houdini and Blender and I much prefer blender, but it isn't powerful enough for the films I do so my company has had to rewrite large portions of it to render and simulate faster and more accurately, but our best Blender work can't come close to our top Houdini or Maya artists.
@JuleusJohntheSticks yea you're right better to try them all, although I also find Max is good for symmetrical modeling and Maya better for animation but in the end if you're pro it doesn't matter which program
yes its better than 3D's max, max is a cheaper alternitive to maya and is a program that is generally used in games development, maya would be your next best thing for animation then houdini but it costs around $14,000 more than maya and like 18k more than max.
this is from 2009?? i couldnt do this in 2025....

@blameist um no you can get a beginner version for free and its just like the pro version but it can only make 30 sec animations
ToProtectAndServeABP 4 days ago
@blameist Well...
You could download the apprentice version...
There is a version for 100 dollars which lets you save animations in HD...
Also it takes a lot of time to do something in Houdini and you need to learn something new in almost every project...
