SideFX recently unveiled the latest version of their flagship software, Houdini 22.
Houdini 22 introduces a significant overhaul to its application architecture, a fully integrated 3D Gaussian Splatting pipeline, a modernized user interface, and foundational enhancements to the Copernicus framework, among other features.
Here are some notable new features to anticipate: |
|
| |
|
|
Direct COP support via HDA in UE5 - This feature streams Copernicus (COPs) texture networks and maps directly into Unreal Engine 5 materials in real time via Houdini Digital Assets without requiring manual file exports |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Modern Interface - The interface features a modern Qt and QML overhaul that provides smaller uniform typography, global scaling, a searchable preferences panel, and deep theme customization tools |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
KineFX Updates - The updates introduce parallel rig evaluation across multiple CPU cores for real-time scene playback alongside automated, guided biped setup templates that accelerate skeletal character rigging |
