Does anyone know if there's any possible way to clip an object in Maya. Like Houdini does in this following video. Would be super helpful.

Hi!

There is an older tool that you still can activate with MEL.

Select the object and then execute:

polyCut

Other options would be to use Mirror and then delete on half or use Arnold (aiClipGeo) as suggested by @damaggio , but the Arnold node only works with Arnold and when rendering.
