Today, Side Effects Software announced the Houdini Engine which allows for deep integration of Houdini technology into a wide variety of Digital Content Creation tools. The Houdini Engine is a compact API which extracts Houdini's core technologies into a powerful procedural engine for film and game studios to integrate into proprietary applications.
Experimental plug-ins for popular DCC apps such as Autodesk® Maya® and the Unity® game engine are under development at SideFX Labs.
