Description

AIR represents a cutting-edge 3D graphics rendering solution, characterized by its innovative architecture and a comprehensive suite of features aimed at swiftly generating high-quality visuals. As a hybrid renderer, AIR blends the rapid rendering capabilities of scanline techniques—efficiently handling complex scenes, motion blur, and depth of field—with the adaptive precision of on-demand ray tracing, allowing for realistic reflections, soft shadows, global illumination, and caustics. This advanced renderer accommodates a wide variety of geometric shapes, such as polygon meshes, trimmed NURBs, subdivision surfaces, curves, particles, and implicit surfaces, all supported in their original form—eliminating the need for pre-meshing. Additionally, AIR facilitates true sub-pixel displacement and supports both high-dynamic range (HDR) input and output. A hallmark of AIR is its highly customizable shading and procedural modeling capabilities, enabling users to enhance the shading language by implementing new functions through any programming language of their choice. This adaptability empowers artists to push the boundaries of their creativity and achieve unprecedented levels of detail and realism in their projects.

Description

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.
