In large productions, the development of a procedural network to solve a specific element creation challenge makes automation trivial. The overhead involved in acquiring this repertoire of algorithms is offset by the artistic and algorithmic flexibility afforded by access to lower level building blocks with which to configure shot element creation routines. Successful users are generally familiar with a large repertoire of networks (algorithms) which achieve standard creative outcomes.

It is one thing to know what all the nodes do – but the key to success with Houdini is understanding how to represent a desired creative outcome as a network of nodes. This has led to a higher learning curve than other comparable tools. Houdini's set of tools are mostly implemented as operators. Plugin Development – development libraries for user extensibility.Compositing – full compositor of floating-point deep (layered) images.Volumetrics – With its native CloudFx and PyroFx toolsets, Houdini can create clouds, smoke and fire simulations.Rendering – Houdini ships with its native and powerful rending engine Mantra, but the Houdini Indie licence (Houdini version for indie developers) supports other 3rd party rendering engines such as: Renderman, Octane, Arnold, Redshift, V-ray, Maxwell(soon).

This whole process takes place in the background with extremely low overheads, is non-intrusive and the user sees the result, just as with any standard Generator in Cinema 4D.
