    Houdini Reviews
    Houdini was designed from the ground up to empower artists to work freely, create multiple iterations, and quickly share workflows with their colleagues. Houdini stores every action in a node. These nodes are "wired" into networks that define a "recipe", which can be tweaked to improve the outcome, then repeated to create unique results. Houdini's procedural nature is due to the ability of nodes to be saved or to pass information (in the form of attributes) down the chain. Houdini's unique nodes are what make it powerful. However, there are many viewport and shelf tools which allow for artist-friendly interaction. Behind the scenes, Houdini creates the networks and nodes for you. Houdini allows artists to explore new creative paths, as it is easy for them to branch off to explore other solutions.

    NVIDIA Omniverse Reviews
    NVIDIA Omniverse™, a hub that connects your existing 3D workflow, replaces linear pipelines with live sync creation. This allows you to create like never before and at speeds you have never experienced. GeForce RTX 3D creators create an animated short together with Omniverse Cloud. They bring in 3D assets from their favorite design tools like Autodesk Maya and Adobe Substance Painter. Sir Wade Neistadt, a multi-tasking artist, can create without bottlenecks with NVIDIA Omniverse. He can use the Omniverse Platform in conjunction with NVIDIA RTX™, A6000 running on NVIDIA Studios Drivers. This allows him to, as he says, "put everything together, light it and render it. All this without ever exporting any data to or from applications."
