I am new to the video game industry. But I recently found the Xbox360 and the PS3 games are in very high quality in terms of modelling and texturing and real time rendering. I wonder if sideFx is going to expand Houdini's capacity of its function for game developers!
Also, could anyone recommend any good game magazine to me? SInce I only read 3D world now. Do you have any infomative game magazine's name in mind?
thanks for your attention!

I'm guessing there's tons of potential there already. I can see that Houdini would be excellent for replacing cheap custom scripts written into existing game studios pipelines.
Specifically in the areas of random character attribute generation through copy-stamping, enviornment generation through procedural geometry, and also procedural texture baking with animated COP textures and high quality ambient occlusion etc.
