SideFX is doing what other software companies can't: -Constant innovation -Actively listening to user feedback -A community-driven approach ❤ -Exceptional licensing options: Indie license with NO restrictions! An amazing Apprentice version, and even Perpetual licenses (who offers that nowadays?!) A huge thank you to the entire SideFX team, you are the best!!
I was wondering about it too not long ago. I'm worried about the bloat though. That was what killed Maya for me. But you gotta trust the guys at Sidefx, they know what they're doing!
Amazing. Just jaw droppingly amazing. I am only a beginner in this stuff but even I can see what a huge leap this is. Everyone on the project take a bow.
@@rezo856 Not surprised, but also curious at what the future brings. Said Houdini already was the "master tool" , and that substance designer focused on material creation for a long while and has all the efficiency increasing tools that houdini might not yet have, but hes not surprised if houdini manages to fight it's way to the top in that field too.
These guys can do no wrong it seems. What an innovative company Sidefx is. An entire a-la substance procedural texture creation environment is definitely one of my favorites! Great job, once again!
@@wndr0so people wanna diss Maya just because it's so far ahead that it doesnt need to play catchup like Blender and less so, Houdini (different purposes and not even competitors with Maya)? Lmao right
unlike Substance, or Maya or Max, SideFX built their software from the start with modularity in mind. It's more like an OS than a single software really... So, adding new network types like Solaris or Copernicus feels natural.
It might not be as good as SD, but avoiding the hassle of round trips, purchasing and learning other software, and dealing with compatibility issues makes it worth.
@@pdjinne65that's a really good point. I'm sure this also effects how their dev teams can be structured. I'd imagine they can have much smaller more autonomous teams because they don't have the same interdependency concerns.
There is so much included in this update that is game changing for a variety of workflows. Truly incredible that this is being shown and it hasn't even been a year since H20.
We will wait for your Tutorial on MPM solver and XPU New features. Thank You for Your Tutorial ❤. Edit : and off course the Texturing workflow as well.
I was put off for a couple of years to pick up Houdini because i thought it's too complicated. Man oh man I'm glad i've done it and it's not that complicated and i didn't realise how powerful it is. Granted it has a bit of a learning curve but that's nothing compared to what it can do. Thank you Side FX for providing not only pros but hobbyists and indie artists such an amazing software to work with.
It has been for many years, what is interesting now is that they are developing fascinating CFX tools, I have no doubt that AD is getting nervous about Maya eventually being replaced by Houdini for CFX work!
Anticipate every sneak peak you guys put out and this one has to be one of the greatest yet. Always thought COPs had the potential to be a real comp/2d alternative - can´t wait to see how far it goes and am glad every day to have switched to Houdini around 16.5!
Seen finally some improvement in COPs is soo good, COPs has all The potential to be as good and even better as Substance Design, totally realistic procedural textures
SideFX proves again and again that they are the true pioneers of the game. Simply put, no other 3d software on the planet can even come close to the amount of control, power, and precision it gives it's users. You have control over every point of data in Houdini.
Sometimes i have nightmares that Houdini grows so good that will become a National Treasure and will not be available for public anymore. And then I wake up , all sweaty, and fortunately H. is still here...
I think someone should check on Houdini Headquarter if humans or Aliens are working on the Software.😅😂. They release things that no one expects from Houdini ❤.
@@ExacoMvm It's funny when most people call Blender a toy when they've never used it or even Houdini 😂 Blender soon or later will be part of industry. And true. Houdini is great.
@@houdini3d this right here is exactly why i have refused to quite sidefx... you guys really care about human capital development.. u dont give us a click-a-button solution, but u present us with real power to achieve anything we can think of.. i appreciate you guys for that! Thank you
I'm not even anywhere close to being anything of a vfx artist, but the soft body simulation capability of houdini is astounding. Water, sand, metal, you name it there's a way to make houdini do it with relative ease it appears. And it's destructive simulation that really interests me because of the sheer number of applications for it in the world.
While i was a little disapointed with H20, this one is massive and confirm my faith in the team and push my client to believe in the product and buy more license. Dawm, It's massive! most of the things i have been waiting are present and more. Just reading the keynote press release make feel warm and explosively exitited, cutting edge constant innovation, and in not one platform but also for window, linux, mac metal and os... What a masterclass of dev ... Just a little retreat, hey more than half of game studio still use Unity even if heavily customized... Please don't give up this part!
Suduaya is my favorite music artist… I thought my UA-cam music player was on for a minute then! Nice to see you are giving them some more exposure as their music is incredible! 💪☺️
I recently started learning Houdini, it's hard and unknowable and difficult, but just a little bit of fun is very precious. But it's hard and I feel like I'm losing my mind all the time, so I'm watching videos like this to inspire myself, I'm going to do my best!
HUGEEEEE everything looks so insanely sick so many quality of life things. so incredibly happy you guys improved the car rig I had my fingers crossed for that one! Karma improvements look amazing as well! you guys rock
wooow, just wow!!! Amazing beyond belief! Can't wait to play with this! Also I'll be in Paris for the HIVE event, looking forward to all those juicy presentations! You guys are crushing it and delivering every single time
I'm incredibly curious about this "MPM solver", but more than anything the new COPs stuff is something I've been waiting for and will for sure use in my everyday work to produce even better things! Thanks yet again SideFX ❤
MPM is sort of like FLIP but for solids instead of fluids. It lets you simulate things like clay and bendable metal sheets that are really hard to do with any existing Houdini solver.
this dot 5 release feels like a major release. what !! this is insane. great job guys !!! great job. i see that new quick material node in solaris has some uv and projection features. low key been trying to create that. glad this is here. we feast !!
Oh men, I have one leg in Blender with the new update, but every time I try to fully give the step Houdini pulls me back again. This new release is just awesome.
Fantastic new things that are beyond my wishlist of innovations. I think the next couple of years will be the time of "inverse rendering." Please don't miss this trend
So far so good. I will keep silent till the release! But promising more than 20 release. It's been a while since I used Houdini! I will be happy go back to it.
Another awesome feature packed release! congratulations!!! You put other companies to shame.So far ahead!!!hope sculpting has a screenspace move brush like Z cause it was only normal based.Cops update came out of nowhere and i am glad you made it.subscription for life! So happy to support you!
Star Citizen devs talked about using Houdini to create the volumetric gas clouds a while back....but now I really want that Avalanche effect on Microtech!!
SideFX has done what no one else could do, they literally rendered the Blender cult speechless, and I love it!!! That update looks absolutely insane, can't wait to get my hands on 20.5, these updates also leave me speechless, great work SideFX!!!
Why is this little man so insecure always trying to trash blender? Both houdini and Blender have things to learn from each other and the truth is that you don't even come close to Blender's limit, don't be like this.
@@edh615 You're insulting me, calling me a little man, just because I criticize Blender, and I am the one who's insecure, really!!! I am curious, tell us what Blender could teach SideFX and Houdini, I dare ya, Houdini 20.5 has seen way more development in 8 months, than Blender in the last 5 years, and that includes Blender 2.8, so try to be serious here!

-Constant innovation
-Actively listening to user feedback

-Exceptional licensing options: Indie license with NO restrictions! An amazing Apprentice version, and even Perpetual licenses (who offers that nowadays?!)
A huge thank you to the entire SideFX team, you are the best!!
what are you talking about Maya just fixed their bevel tool after 20 years. And they changed the splash screen. Dont hate. 😭😭
@@halfMTstudios 😂👌
True and real.
What they can't do: software, that can be understand by the average Joe.
@@haasekopp1614 this 💀💀, it's still alien to me most of the nodes
you guys make stuff quicker, than I manage to learn them.
Ain't that the truth!!
😂😂😂 like yoh
There are stuff in H19 that I haven't had the time to even look at
I think that is the case for most of us
damn true
Simply THE most innovative and creative software company on planet earth.
UE crying seeing this comment
Blender Foundation!!
I lived to the day to see new COPs! Love to see it!
Was just about to say the same!
Yaaaaaaas
COPs got update that no one expected. 🎉
And I was complaining about this a few weeks ago. Such a mouth I have 😂😂
I was wondering about it too not long ago.
I'm worried about the bloat though. That was what killed Maya for me.
But you gotta trust the guys at Sidefx, they know what they're doing!
So cool to have our music featured with your awesome work ! 🎉
Switched to Hou two years ago. I'm never looking back LOL love you guys!!!
Just going to say, thank you for constantly innovating and pushing the limit each update.
20.5 makes 20 feel like a toy. Super excited about every single feeaure. Truly jawdropping.
everything from the past year that i've been trying to learn or seen multi hundred dollar tutorials for was just made easy with this!
Amazing. Just jaw droppingly amazing. I am only a beginner in this stuff but even I can see what a huge leap this is. Everyone on the project take a bow.
NEW COPs!!! Houdini substance designer killer! WOW! Love SideFX!!!
Sent this specifically to a substance designer friend of mine to see their reaction.
@@yarugatyger1603And what was their reaction? xd
@@rezo856 Not surprised, but also curious at what the future brings.

.5 version with more features than most apps get in 3 versions
This seems a legit diss against Maya
Maybe 5 versions
yes :D
*in their lifetime
@@wndr0so people wanna diss Maya just because it's so far ahead that it doesnt need to play catchup like Blender and less so, Houdini (different purposes and not even competitors with Maya)?
Lmao right
Call the COPs you guys are murdering the competition. So excited for copernicus. Textures are fast and fun to use. Opens up lots of possibilities.
I'm not a Houdini user, but this really puts the updates from Maxon and Adesk into perspective.
Only that fast sculpting was enough for .5 release. You guys are amazing!
Goodbye Substance Designer, Hello Houdini 20.5
i hope!!!! i believe in Houdini. Substance Designer degrades very much and does not develop after Adobe was bought out.
unlike Substance, or Maya or Max, SideFX built their software from the start with modularity in mind.
It's more like an OS than a single software really...
So, adding new network types like Solaris or Copernicus feels natural.
It might not be as good as SD, but avoiding the hassle of round trips, purchasing and learning other software, and dealing with compatibility issues makes it worth.
@@pdjinne65that's a really good point. I'm sure this also effects how their dev teams can be structured. I'd imagine they can have much smaller more autonomous teams because they don't have the same interdependency concerns.
Good luck with making any compatible resource for Substance Painter like generator, dynamic brush or procedural pattern in Houdini lol
Best dev team on the planet! Seriously you guys are incredible 😍
There is so much included in this update that is game changing for a variety of workflows. Truly incredible that this is being shown and it hasn't even been a year since H20.
Yeah i wonder if at this pace we get H21 by end of December 😊
We will wait for your Tutorial on MPM solver and XPU New features.
Thank You for Your Tutorial ❤.

Wow!. Sidefx you guys are God sent. Thanks for this ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. Houdini is now the greatest VFX Software on earth.👍🏽👍🏽keep it up guys. I can't wait.
Is now??????... hahah, u probably just started cgi
even before this h was the greatest
It has been for many years, what is interesting now is that they are developing fascinating CFX tools, I have no doubt that AD is getting nervous about Maya eventually being replaced by Houdini for CFX work!
The new COPs... a dream come true.
Autodesk: Hey!!! Look over here... We got new Icons and re arrange the menus (again)!!!!!
😂😂😂😂
...they add 1 tiny feature while sideFx add 15...
Real SideFX users dont see Icons at all... Its all in TAB Search..😂😝
Also, check how bad Blender development is compared to this. Blender truly is worst 3d program.
@@amigarulez spoken like someone who hasn't used Maya without addons. lol
i have no idea why youtube recommended me this but i love the groovy music
ua-cam.com/video/ZwTE8DKbon8/v-deo.html
You might like the Houdini 17 Banshee vid too
Glad you enjoy our music
@@AerysBat thank you, watched it, is pre groovy

"Vulkan viewport enabled by default, supports some Karma Material Builder shaders" this is the most exciting part for me.
Sometimes i have nightmares that Houdini grows so good that will become a National Treasure and will not be available for public anymore. And then I wake up , all sweaty, and fortunately H. is still here...
Get back to sleep you need it lol
Incredible. Awesome work - so much to explore. 👏 Bravo!
The music always goes so well with these presentations! Luv it! looking forward to more Houdini
I love the slow but sure decent into Psytrance with the music 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 keep it up 🌀

COP reworked is the most hyped I've been for any new Houdini update. Can't wait. A thank you to the wonderful folks at sidefx!
OMG ! The list of new features at the end blew my mind ....🔥🔥🔥🔥
Houdini is setting out to replace Maya, ZBrush, Substance Painter, Substance Designer, Bifrost, Redshift, Pencil+, Katana, Golaem, ComfyUI... simply insane!
I think someone should check on Houdini Headquarter if humans or Aliens are working on the Software.😅😂. They release things that no one expects from Houdini ❤.
I love that they are expanding more out towards being an allrounder tool. Like Blender on steroids.
they are crazy ;)
Houdini, Blender and Unreal is the future.
Blender might still be a joke but it's also making rapid progress.
@@ExacoMvm
It's funny when most people call Blender a toy when they've never used it or even Houdini 😂

Nothing Can Beat Houdini..... Amazing....

Today! Today I’ll start my learning path with you for real. Stoping this toxic relationship of 1 week studying and 6 months out 😅

Great update!
I wish we got updates on the HAIR and Fur grooming department, especially BRAIDS, DREADLOCKS, and more.
I was excited like a 9 years old child, Thanks you Side FX !
Amazing update, now I want to learn the grains 😅. Thanks sidefx
Haven't yet explored half of the the new features of 20.0 and now 20.5 looks to have even more. SIDEFX PLEASE

i see that new quick material node in solaris has some uv and projection features. low key been trying to create that. glad this is here. we feast !!
Can we please get progress bars / loading circles next to nodes when they calculate? that would be really great to visualize whats going on
This is the best 3D program ever in the world and it just got even better 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Amazing sneak peek as always with amazing music ❤
I still miss Softimage, but yeah, Houdini rocks!
Love to see what can be done with houdini and this update looks amazing 👍
Oh men, I have one leg in Blender with the new update, but every time I try to fully give the step Houdini pulls me back again. This new release is just awesome.
This is great! New COPS opens up so much more possibilities!
Omg. Genius of side fx
I feel like I need years to catch up on what we already have, but I take it - looks absolutely amazing, best programm out there for me!
Thank you SideFx!!!
SESI did it again 😇 This release packs a lot of firepower just like the others that come before.
BTW, I am in the middle of your pragmatic vex vol1 course. I just wanted to say thanks, and great work!
@@HoudiniGameArtist Thanks so much! It means a lot 🙏
Great music choice as well! Amazing updates guys and gals!!! ❤

Fantastic new things that are beyond my wishlist of innovations. I think the next couple of years will be the time of "inverse rendering." Please don't miss this trend
absolut mad! hole universe of several software packages are combined in houdini!
Amazing work as usual! I would love see if the following update will have a GEO light as an actual light but not a emissive shader...
mpm solver and procedural texture creation is my fav beside of all the other great features!
what a tease! looking very much forward to this release
So far so good. I will keep silent till the release! But promising more than 20 release. It's been a while since I used Houdini! I will be happy go back to it.
Those new features looks really gooooood! Excited to start to work with all of this haha
Wow, that’s a nice update. Got it love Houdini. Great job team.
Insane. Speachless, mind blowing, incredible, amazing.......etc. loooks words have gotten to be shorten infront of updates.
Insane progress in every flipping sub-version!
Finally , projected tiled texture without any software trans damage.
This update is colossal, can't wait for the full reveal!
Houdini just levelled up all their usual toolsets, knocked Substance Designer off the stack, and became one of the top ML tools
Man! Looks like I need to start learning COPS! The new sculpting improvements are looking good as well.
2:00 I want those crash physics in GTA 6!
The whole team of SideFX always delivers amazing work! Keep it up!
Great!!! Looking forward for a new update!
This looks so amazing!!
Incredible 😍 i love it. Want to see more about karma xpu but its ok. Sidefx never disappoint
MPM solver looks incredible, question: can it simulate buoyancy/ floating objects on fluid surface?
Always a huge a step ahead from other softwares ... so excellent and so fascinating
Love you side fx
Mind blowing once again 😮
Amazing ! the new cop system woa !!! save node preset so easy !!
Another awesome feature packed release! congratulations!!! You put other companies to shame.So far ahead!!!hope sculpting has a screenspace move brush like Z cause it was only normal based.Cops update came out of nowhere and i am glad you made it.subscription for life! So happy to support you!
