ENGINE PLUG-INS
For Host Applications
Houdini Engine brings a procedural node-based approach to some of your favorite apps. In Houdini, build nodes networks that define a recipe that can be applied over and over, then wrap them up to create custom smart assets. Share these assets with colleagues who can load them directly into 3D apps such as Autodesk® Maya,® Autodesk® 3ds Max,® or Cinema 4D® or into game editors such as Unity® or Unreal Engine.®
SIDEFX PLUG-INS
Four of the Engine plug-ins are developed and supported by SideFX. These are available when you download and install Houdini and work with Houdini Core, Houdini FX or Houdini Engine licenses. There are also Indie and Engine Indie licenses for users who qualify for our Indie program.
