@@TheLizardKing752 why? I vastly prefer Maya and Unreal Engine 5 over Houdini, I hate its procedural/node based approach, though I know it makes it a beast for simulation/VFX but that isn't my area of interest at all (for that I would rather wait for Embergen to mature)
@@wallacesousuke1433 Hmm, I think with creative software there's always that gap between what we want to accomplish and how to use the software to accomplish it, and it feels very intuitive for me in Houdini. I love the node-based procedural approach, I don't think I've ever had to use the undo button in 2+ years with that software. Also an indie license is like $250/yr, there aren't any features locked behind higher tier subscriptions. I also don't have to pay extra for essential plugins. It's definitely lacking in some areas like sculpting or texture painting, but I'm a motion graphics person professionally so I'm not usually needing those tools often anyways.
for those who are thinking the entire shots were only done in houdini its not the case here , weta used houdini for fx simulations , katana for lighting , mari for texturing and nuke for compositing and yes of course their inhouse tool render engine manuka
Some people loves practical effects too much to the point that they are hating CGI. Practical effects have its place. But i want to see them make something like Avatar 1 & 2, Avengers movies, Aquaman and Transformers without using CGI lol.
0:40 - I'm not overly happy with that shot, the integration of the Na'vi character with the rest is anything but convincing, even at 480p youtube crap.
@@metaturnalIt is already despite all the attempts to ignore it 😂 FX already, lighting is coming, animation. I have no doubts about them. But it would be great to see Houdini performing as well on the compositing front. One day.
A tight fucking slap to those liars who use Vfx and CGI and say it's all practical... meanwhile avatar is almost fully CGI and the director proudly presents his movies without taking away VFX artist's credit
Sadly, you have no idea what woke means and you somehow think its an insult. Also- 3rd highest grossing film of all time so I guess people must like it. Guess that flies in the face of that whole go woke go broke thing you idiots like to use.
just what a film, gorgeous
Houdini is build different from other softwares really worthy and incredible ❤
Discovering Houdini years after Softimage was discontinued was such a breath of fresh air.

@@wallacesousuke1433 lol. your difficulty doesnt make it gabage. and it isnt just for simulation/vfx. but how would you know.
lol
@@PalmwineStudio dont care, no reason to use Houdini when Maya and UE5 exist

Great with some more in-depth view of what you created for Avatar.
Cheers from a Houdini FX artist
Weta suppose to release there houdini version right, Hweta few years ago
Yeah, WetaH and WetaM were canned when unity bought them I asked about it at Siggraph last year
Great video! will there be a longer version?
Would love to know how to achieve this kind of small scal water sim and wetness maps at 1:58
I love Houdini but my pc hates Houdini
Same same bud different 🤣🤣🥲🥲🥲..ussss
@@Invisible123d 🤣
Me too 😂
hahahahaha i want you
I'm really Curious to know what hardware they used

ill learn all of that, i promise!
Col. Quaritch : "James Cameron and houdini... that's a potent mix! Gives me the goosebumps!" lol

Another reason to learn houdini
What? A garbage movie? lol
Incredible!
Which render is used to render these shots??
That's the secret they use native render?
It’s their proprietary engine called Manuka
It's called Manuka, their proprietary spectral renderer
one day, one day!
I started following Houdini before it became mainstream
Common everyone, let's clap for him! Sorry for breathing the same air as you good sir!
@@Rodutchi you are welcome peasant

I thought unity destroyed weta
They bought WetaDigital, WetaFX continued as a seperate entity.
more like WATER FX aoyoyyooooooooooo
Heh, wetter, because water? Get it?
Avatar 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
blender could do all that with 1000 crashes
Blender could do none of that with a trillion crashes.
Sadly the movie was Woke.
Isn't it past your bedtime?
sadly you think you're opinion means anything
Sadly, you have no idea what woke means and you somehow think its an insult.

How ??? 😂😂
what isnt these days but fyi this is a technical video not related to the story
