Hi All Talented Houdini Users !

I am little confused about for what to use houdini and why?
We are just planing here to develop out future and our brand new pipeline
after 20 years of working in commercial business.. Sadly!
Is is the right software to do general ( not the hardest one ) commercials ?
Please make me strong in this. I like houdini and I wouldn'n like to use maya.

THANKS,
Szabolcs

Hey Welcome!
what kind of commercials do you do?cg character animation heavy?broadcast and packaging heavy?hyper-real cg live action integration?
If you are character heavy , you will want maya/xsi with zbrush/mudbox for character builds/animation and
let the Houdini handle for the rest .Houdini can do it but it's a question of how fast and efficient.
I am a Houdini user day in and out and i wouldn't want to touch Houdini for hero model building with today demands for character quality.
You are in for a treat if you need is just for Broadcast and cg live action integration.
Houdini will take care of lookdev,shading,lighting, fx and rendering needed.
