System requirements : Windows 11 (64bit)
Windows 10 (64 bit)
Windows 8.1 (64 bit)
Windows 8 (64 bit)
Windows 7 is NOT supported.
Windows Server (any version) is NOT supported.
4 GB RAM required
12 GB or higher recommended and 64 GB highly recommended for fluid simulation.
Requires an Intel or AMD x64 processor with SSE 4.2. Houdini 18.0 will not run on a system with a command set below SSE 4.2.
Installation requires 4.5 GB of free disk space.
GL4.0 compatible graphics card required. GL3.3 cards will have missing features and lower versions of GL won’t run Houdini 19 at all.
Requires 4 GB VRAM or more. Less than that can result in display errors such as blank windows. High DPI (4K, 5K) displays or multiple monitors require a minimum of 4 GB.
The video card must support OpenCL version 1.2.
OptiX Denoiser requires a Kepler or later NVIDIA GPU (K, P, M, V prefixes).
Karma XPU currently only supports CPU and NVidia Optix devices, with Optix being the most optimized code path in the XPU. Future versions are expected to support CPU optimizations and more GPU hardware.
It is very important to install the latest driver for your graphics card using proprietary drivers directly from the card manufacturer and not open source versions. Failure to do so may result in display issues and/or poor performance:
Windows
– NVIDIA Quadro & GeForce GPUs: 465.84 Studio Driver or higher
– AMD: 21.Q4 or higher
– Intel 30.0.100.9955 or higher.
Description : Houdini is a 3D animation software developed by Toronto-based SideFX, which adapted it from the PRISM procedural generation software suite. Procedural tools are used to create various effects such as complex reflections, animations, and particle systems. Some of its procedural functions have been in existence since 1987.
Houdini is most often used to create visual effects in movies and games. It is used by major VFX companies such as Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar, DreamWorks Animation, Double Negative, ILM, MPC, Framestore, Sony Pictures Imageworks, Method Studios, and The Mill.
