Undoubtedly houdini will give you a plus in your art concepts, for the freedom of creation at an unsuspected level. But it is also true that you have to see houdini as a professional athlete you have to train every day to reach the goal. If you leave it for a while you lose status quickly as a professional athlete. In abstract concepts Houdini is the best, but it is also painful to master fluently and the help is an Egyptian hieroglyph.

Sorry for my bad English. Greetings to all.

Thank you so much for your message. It really motivates and inspires me alot. Houdini is good for everything. It is a wonder which you can create anything you want with. No, Im not a professional athlete, they have to throw me out of the house to get some fresh air. Kidding aside my spanish friend. I think Houdini is easy to get in once you understand the framework. (Your English is fine.) Its not the language, its the ideas!!!!

I just got Houdini Indie. A step I wanted to take for awhile, but were relactant because Learning a new tool in the middle of my Little portfolio building is sort of a “new grab”. But, I did it because of many reasons..Just after seeing the modeling capabilities, I´m so suprised that Houdini isn´t a natural choice “yet” for concepting. Im really excited because as a freelance artist, I can get a tool that is a fraction of a cost of for example Maya or Modo, and use its powerful node based system for pretty much everything I can Think of, and then I just stepped on the tip of the cake. I will be doing everything from fur and hair on a character, pyro, animation,modeling, game assets with the Houdini Engine that translates extremely well into Maya in a pipeline where you can customize parameters and do for example a poly reduce, which is the best in its class right in Maya thanks to HOudini.

I just got it, so I can´t say much, but I will be gathering some real facts in order to make a good Review.

Thank you all in this great thread for your thoughts and different perspectives, which almost all of them speaks for this phenomenal tool.
