SideFX Houdini Master
— мощная программа для моделирования и создания специальных эффектов,
одновременно являющаяся функциональным пакетом 3D графики. Программа
позволяет производить сложные кадры без необходимости использования
дополнительных плагинов или группы программистов. Кинопроизводство
может рассчитывать на помощь Houdini Master в создании потрясающих
видео-эффектов и анимации. Среди нововведений десятой версии стоит
отметить возможность использования нескольких компьютеров, объединенных
в локальную сеть, для имитации поведения жидкостей, новые инструменты
Pyro FX для создания дыма и огня, технологию Interactive Photorealistic
Rendering (IPR) для быстрого просмотра изменений, которые вносятся в
освещение трехмерных сцен, работу со стереоскопическими данными.
Houdini Master отличается наличием инструментов для создания динамики и
визуальных эффектов с частицами.
SideFX Houdini Master— the powerful program for modelling and
creation of the special effects, simultaneously being a functional
package 3D schedules. The program allows to make difficult shots
without necessity of use of additional plug-ins or group of
programmers. Film production can count on help Houdini Master in
creation of tremendous video-effects and animation. Among innovations
of the tenth version it is necessary to note possibility of use of the
several computers united in a local network, for imitation of behaviour
of the liquids, new tools Pyro FX for smoke and fire creation,
technology Interactive Photorealistic Rendering (IPR) for fast viewing
of changes which are brought in illumination of three-dimensional
scenes, work with the three-dimensional data. Houdini Master differs
presence of tools for creation of dynamics and visual effects with
particles.
VFX artists can create high quality smoke
and fire in Houdini 10 with the new Pyro FX tools. Utilizing cutting
edge up-resing technology, Pyro FX makes it possible to create a low
resolution simulation in planning out a shot, then increase the
resolution on subsequent passes to add higher level of details and
refinement. Pyro FX comes with several pre-made Pyro FX such as Billowy
smoke and Fireball to give artists a head start when setting up a
simulation.
Lighting artists can take advantage of the progressive Interactive
Photorealistic Rendering (IPR) feature in Houdini 10. This IPR workflow
supports both raytracing and Physically Based Rendering (PBR),
providing feedback whenever a scene changes. An update will be
triggered when shader and light parameters are tweaked or when objects,
cameras and lights are added, moved or even removed. Artists can drag
and drop materials into the IPR window and can "control click” to
access shader parameters for any part of an image. Snap shots can be
taken to compare with other iterations of a shot using features such as
"diffing”.
Houdini 10 also includes support for Stereoscopic 3D in both the
viewport and Houdini’s image viewer. The Houdini stereo camera supports
both anaglyph and horizontal interlaced stereo and includes control for
parallax and inter-axial distance. Studios can preview their 3D work
from within Houdini and can generate stereo images at render time.
Houdini 10 includes many more features such as:
* Motion FX which gives artist-friendly access to the procedural power of Houdini’s channel operators (CHOPS).
* Improvements to Network Usability including new align tools, and the
ability to quickly connect and disconnect nodes using fewer clicks.
* Physically Based Rendering (PBR) is now fully supported in Houdini’s multi-threaded shading language.
* Deep Camera Maps which make it possible to render volumes and objects into separate passes then combine them perfectly.
* The Rigid Body Solver now supports ODE for faster simulations.
* Houdini’s cloth solver can be used to simulate the Crumpling and Tearing of dentable and elastic surfaces.
* The wire solver now supports Parting and is much faster when simulating longer wires.
* New Knife and Edge Loop modeling tools.
* And much more
