The release will bring a bunch of powerful new tools.
SideFX has just concluded the Houdini 19 reveal presentation. Previously, SideFX has shared a Houdini 19 sneak peek, teasing new features and improvements, including improvements to KineFX, Muscles & Tissue, Crowds, Solaris, Karma, Modeling, Pyro FX, FLIP Fluids, Vellum, RBD Destruction, FEM, Grooming, PDG, and more.
The new two-hour presentation shared an extended look at the new tools coming with the next update and revealed the date we were waiting for. First things first, Houdini 19 will be available on October 27 so we're just a week away from the long-awaited launch.
Here is a list of some improvements in the new version:
Solaris for Layout and Environments
Solaris for Lighting and Rendering
Karma
KineFX
Grooming
Muscles, Tissue & Skin
Pyro and destruction tools have always been awesome in Houdini but what stands out is how they start putting more effort into other tools like grooming and rigging. What got you excited? Share your thoughts on the presentation in the comments below.
