Game Development

GAME TOOLS

SideFX Labs is a testing ground for over 150 tools designed to help you get up and running quicker. The SideFX Labs tools wrap up and release common workflows and create tight integrations with software you use everyday. The tools are developed outside the regular Houdini development cycle which makes them more accessible for testing and feedback. Many of these tools address specific gamedev workflows for creating realtime FX, modeling, mesh processing, setting up UVs and much more.
