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.

Description

Ziva VFX is revolutionizing the creation of 3D characters for films, video games, and interactive media. By providing an intuitive set of tools, artists can easily mimic realistic physics and simulate various soft-tissue materials such as muscles, fat, and skin, resulting in assets that are of blockbuster caliber. The platform allows for the simulation of soft tissue materiality through user-friendly parameters and real-world measurements, all specifically designed for creature design. One of the standout features is the Ziva Anatomy Transfer tools, which enable users to quickly replicate, warp, and retarget creatures, facilitating the adaptation and multiplication of existing designs into countless high-quality characters. Additionally, modifications to character anatomy can be made retroactively, enabling creators to swiftly respond to changes and last-minute adjustments. Users can employ a range of material types, ensuring dynamic motion even with significant deformations, including StVK, NeoHookean, co-rotational, and anisotropic materials, enhancing the overall realism of their projects. This innovative approach not only streamlines the character creation process but also opens up new possibilities for storytelling in visual media.
