Houdini is a Windows utility that offers you to manage 3D models. This program can help you create animations as well as configure object interaction parameters. There are numerous functions and effects, as well as tools for animation. You may use the application for game development and real-world physics simulation.

Graphic Editor

Upon launching this utility, it is possible to begin working on a new 3D model. You can edit the project within the constructor mode, where objects are dragged onto the workspace to set all required parameters. Users may add various shapes, including spheres, cylinders, and cubes. Furthermore, there is a polygonal modeling mode as well as drawing tools available.

Houdini supports working with particle systems and creating effects like fire, snow, fog, and rain. It is possible to edit all scenes and combine frames.

Physical Simulation

This application offers you to simulate interactions between objects based on their physical properties. In particular, you can model object dissolution and visualize the behavior of gasses and liquids.

Programming

There is an option to represent all effects and operations as a programming code. Each operator is separated into different classes for handling text or graphic data. Additionally, you can support script and scenario creation.
