This is a complete, tightly integrated and fully customisable 3D environment popular with high-end film studios around the world. Famed for it’s advanced particle and dynamics capabilities, it is a world heavy weight in all 3D disciplines, such as character rigging and animation, organic modelling, plant growth, volume rendering, hair and fur.

This software provides us with the flexibility to build customised solutions for your animation challenge where other packages would either be hitting a brick wall or require time consuming and expensive custom programming. It’s procedural approach allows us to revise our work and respond to your feedback quickly and efficiently, so we see your vision on screen before we see your deadline.

Houdini Consultation

The capabilities, feature set and pricing structure of Houdini often attract interest in studios seeking to find that extra edge, but nervous of the seeming lack of expert knowledge available, particularly in Australia.

After receiving many requests for information and advice on how Houdini might suit facilities in Australia and abroad, Kanuka is pleased to formally offer Houdini consultation services.

Bringing his experience of using Houdini at many studios in Australia, the UK and the USA, both large and small, Rangi aims to answer your questions on Houdini from a practical rather than a sales point of view.
