AFAIK, yes
I'm sure there are some Sony people around who might be able to say more…
and I'm sure there will be a bazillion web articles and a cinefx out soon…
in the time being you might want to check this out LINK [amazon.com]

Arriving at this thread a bit late … but, yes, Houdini was used extensively on Spider-Man 3. The majority of the Sandman and Goblin effects were carried out in Houdini (sand, mud, glider thrusters, etc). Spider-Man's webs are Houdini. The Symbiote/Venom goo was mostly Maya (although Houdini was used here too).

jestaThat doesn't mean the methods used weren't done 6 months ago.
Interesting, considering they were probably working on it until 2 weeks ago.
Anyhow, there are 3 articles on vfxworld.com that focus on the effects in spider-man. Naturally, nothing's too specific, but I liked it:
Spider-Man 3: Creating a Bigger Arsenal at Sony Pictures Imageworks [vfxworld.com]
Spider-Man 3: Breaking Down Sandman [vfxworld.com]
Spider-Man 3: Going Deeper into Goo/Venom [vfxworld.com]

there is a video called technical overview of the birth of sandman this is just really nice… For those of u thinking what is the relevance to a houdini forum you get a glimpse of the houdini interface on the right monitor as he is animating sandman ….
once again i hope you enjoy…
