11/22/2023 0 Comments Houdini apprentice export moviesWhile the $200/year price being offered for Houdini is absolutely awesome, I feel they’re coming in sans that all important, generoous spirit that these two other companies have pioneered.Īs a person who has always purchased perpetual software licenses, (UE4 is actually my first ever monthly software subscription), I just find it disgusting that SideFX wants to “join in” around these parts talking “Indie friendly” but still forcing folks into an artist, hobbyist and Indie unfriendly Corporate type of licensing scheme. SideFX wants you to constantly pay (similar to Adobe Creative Cloud), for your Houdini “Indie” license if you stop paying, you lose access to all the work you may have done using the software (again similar to Adobe CC). Here with SideFX, they’re calling this an “Indie” license (while also mentioning “Unreal Engine” at certain points), to (IMO) try and join in on this amazing wave of games development, but they’re not joining in with the same spirit that Epic and has shown with their licensing for “Indies”. Hobbyists and Indies typically don’t have deep pockets, especially to the point where if they don’t pay for a software upgrade, they can afford to lose access to the software they’ve been paying for!īoth Epic and 'Alle’s licensing, lets you walk away with the last version you paid for, if for whatever reason you decide (or cannot) keep upgrading ('Alle) or stay on subscription (Epic). I was excited at first to see this as well, but then got disgusted because they’re calling this new version “Indie” to (IMO), try to tie in with the spirit that Epic and has shown by releasing their ultimately awesome software with “Human friendly” licensing that makes it accessible to hobbyists, like myself, and “Indies”, who are usually individuals ( independents) or *smallish *teams of a handful of people working together. I know that Unreal Animation and Rigging Tools are only for Maya, right? Are these tools very essential? Now that Houdini has such a great price are there any plans to support ART in Houdini? What do you think about this? How this compares to Maya workflow. Today, I’ve noticed that SideFX released an Indie version of it’s 3D package.
