15 Best Maya Alternatives
3D Modeling and Rendering with Houdini isn’t very different from what you get on Maya. However, Houdini follows a node-based workflow. Every action in Houdini is a node and these nodes are linked together to form networks.

  • Book or courses recomendations?
    Otherwise, Unity (3D) has tutorials for Unity, Houdini (vfx) has tutorials on their site (sidefx.com). Blender (3D) has a good community on reddit. For 2D animation the book "The Animator’s Survival Kit" is a common book people read in this reddit. Also lots of youtube tutorials. Search for whatever you want to learn ("how to paint grass in photoshop", "how to use animation in Blender", "how to animate... Source: over 1 year ago
  • Coming from Cinema4D + octane
    Houdini is (a little) hard to learn, so the best you can do is focus on one area at the same time: Modeling, Vellum, Fluids, Particles, KineFx ... You can find a lot of free tutorials on sidefx.com. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Newbie question: Which software would I use to create the interactive, animated 3D model project I have in mind?
    It sounds like you would need a lot of procedural geometry, which is done best with Houdini. But it does not do interactive web. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Unable to Start Houdini - License Server Issue?
    I also checked my license status from sidefx.com and it said everything was correct, but of course now I cant even login to the website and it just throws me a 500 Error Code when I login, asking me to login again. Ive emailed support but figured I might check here too while I'm at it. Source: about 3 years ago

  • Returning my Thinkpad P1Gen5 for an X1 Carbon Gen9/10?
    I don’t have specific experience with it. Maybe try a demo of Lumion https://lumion.com/free-trial.html and or Enscape https://enscape3d.com/ and see how it does. VRay GPU will not run since it doesn’t support CUDA. If you already have your Edu email address you can also get Revit and 3DS Max https://www.autodesk.com/education/edu-software/overview and some demo files... Source: almost 2 years ago
  • I do small residential construction projects and would like to learn a few Sketchup basics with 2017. Dumb idea?
    Only when we need those realistic looking pictures then we need to use rendering applications like Vray, Thea, Lumion, Enscape, etc etc there are billions of them. Some of them are just hard to use & learn, spending too much time fiddling with settings instead of spending your time in actual creative process. They are getting better today though, rendering application like Enscape really isn't that much different... Source: about 2 years ago
  • A project I worked on during the fall as a HS Junior. Please Critique!
    Revit to make the building, Enscape for the rendering, and InDesign and Photoshop for touching up images and making the pdfs. Source: almost 3 years ago
