Side Effects Software released Houdini 9, which includes a new artist-friendly user interface that makes the software easier to use, as well as python support, fluid dynamics, rendering enhancements, and new character tools.

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

Pricing for Houdini 9 starts at $1999 for Houdini Escape, which brings Houdini's node-based workflow to modelers, lighters, animators, and character riggers. Meanwhile, Houdini Master, which costs $7999 and is targeted at VFX artists and TDs, includes the software's particle and dynamic tools.

The new pricing structure, along with the move to an industry-standard user interface, makes Houdini 9 more accessible to CG artists, particularly for those working in boutique effects houses.
