Houdini makes modeling faster and more intuitive with powerful procedural and direct modeling tools. Create everything from hero assets to complex environments using clean topology, advanced Booleans and an artist-friendly workflow that stays fully non-destructive.
Procedural
Node-based Modeling
Houdini’s procedural modeling workflow gives artists the freedom to build complex, flexible geometry with unmatched control. By using a node-based approach, every step of the modeling process is editable, repeatable and easy to adjust at any time. From environments and props to intricate designs, Houdini lets you work smarter and make changes without starting over."
Retopology
Processing
Houdini makes it easy to create clean, production-ready topology with precision and control. Use TopoBuild for hand crafted retopology, drawing directly on high-resolution models in the viewport. Then generate smooth, evenly spaced quads with powerful quad remeshing tools that streamline your workflow and keep your models animation-ready.
Point Clouds
Lidar
Houdini lets you work with point cloud and LIDAR data directly. Import, clean and process massive point cloud datasets with ease using Houdini’s powerful procedural nodes. From environment reconstruction to set extensions and digital doubles, you can transform scanned data into high-quality geometry while maintaining full creative control.
