Another big announcement from SIGGRAPH this week, Houdini 11 hits the streets with some fantastic new rendering, lighting, and particle tools. One thing I heard a lot about was the new dynamic fracturing tools that can create amazingly realistic shattered geometry with a minimum of work. In addition, the new fluid solver “FLIP” is getting some buzz for the impressive performance boosts:
“The new FLIP fluid solver is going to make a big difference for artists in production,” says Kim Davidson, President and CEO, Side Effects Software. “Not only is it up to 70 times faster, it draws on the power of our renowned particle tools to offer an unprecedented level of directability.”
