Houdini's procedural technology is used directly where the artist needs it, without the need of a complex file based import / export pipeline, saving us valuable time. It also enables us to experiment with new ideas that normally require tech and tool code support. We have the full set of Houdini algorithms available to us, reducing iteration times and improving the quality of the assets produced. The Houdini Engine merged well with our existing code-base, enabling us to add support for our own internal geometry formats and engine specific features.' (c) 2014 Euclid Infotech Pvt. Ltd.
