Terrain heightfields enable the creation of realistic, large-scale landscapes with procedural tools for sculpting, erosion, and texturing, giving artists precise control, flexibility, and production-ready environment workflows.
Houdini 21 introduces major updates across the pipeline, including enhancements to KineFX with a new motion mixer, animation catalog, Autorig Builder, and improved muscle system. Copernicus gains a sparse GPU Pyro FX solver, reaction diffusion effects, texture baking, while Solaris adds Shot Builder, Live Rendering, and Karma support for Hydra 2 and Gaussian Splats.
KEY FEATURES
KineFX Animation
Houdini KineFX simplifies character animation with a procedural, non-destructive workflow that blends rigging, motion editing, and dynamics for faster, more flexible, and production-ready results.
KineFX Rigging
These tools empower riggers to design scalable, procedural character rigs that adapt seamlessly to evolving animation demands, while APEX ensures high-quality, reusable setups for complex productions.
CFX
Muscle systems play a critical role in character FX by driving realistic skin deformation and tissue movement, adding believable motion, volume, and anatomical detail beneath the character’s surface.
VFX
The latest VFX tools bring advanced capabilities for high-end simulations, featuring enhanced Pyro FX workflows, MPM-driven destruction systems, and AI-powered fluid surfacing tools for faster, more realistic results.
Lookdev
Solaris and Karma enhance look development with a unified, USD-based workflow that enables artists to build, light, render, and refine assets with complete creative control and production-ready precision.
Copernicus
Copernicus enhances 2D image generation with advanced layering, scattering, and solver-based workflows, enabling artists to create highly detailed, customizable textures and fast slap comps directly within the pipeline.
Modeling & Baking
Modeling is fundamental to building detailed, production-ready assets with clean topology and optimized geometry, ensuring efficient performance and seamless integration across animation, VFX, and rendering pipelines.
Mediasys, a leading provider of creative technology solutions, is proud to partner with SideFX, the creators of Houdini, to empower artists and studios with cutting-edge 3D tools. Together, we deliver world-class solutions for modeling, animation, VFX, and rendering—helping creators in film, television, advertising, and gaming bring their visions to life with unmatched flexibility and innovation.
