Houdini is a 3D animation application software developed by Side Effects Software of Toronto. Side Effects adapted Houdini from the PRISMS suite of procedural generation software tools. Its exclusive attention to procedural generation distinguishes it from other 3D computer graphics software. Houdini has been used in various feature animation productions, including these: the Disney feature films ''Chicken Little'' and ''Frozen''; ''Rio'', a Blue Sky Studios film; the feature animation ''Ant Bully''. Side Effects also publishes a version called Houdini Apprentice, which is free of charge for non-commercial use. ==Features== Houdini covers all the major areas of 3D production, including these: * Modeling - All standard geometry entities including Polygons, (Hierarchical) NURBs/Bézier Curves/Patches & Trims, Metaballs * Animation - Keyframed animation and raw channel manipulation (CHOPs), motion capture support * Particles * Dynamics - Rigid Body Dynamics, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Wire (Curve) Dynamics, Cloth Simulation * Lighting - node-based shader authoring, lighting and re-lighting in an IPR viewer * Rendering - supporting a variety of renderers; besides Mantra: Renderman, mental ray and various 3rd party support * Volumetrics - generations/population/manipulation/rendering of scalar- and vectorfields * Compositing - full compositor of floating-point deep (layered) images * Plugin Development - development libraries for user extensibility Houdini is an open environment and supports a variety of scripting APIs. Python is increasingly the scripting language of choice for the package, and is intended to substitute its original CShell-like scripting language, Hscript. However, any major scripting languages which support socket communication can interface with Houdini. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Houdini (software)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
