Houdini 是一个特效方面非常强大的软件。许多电影特效都是由它完成：指环王中“甘道夫”放的那些“魔法礼花”，还有“水马”冲垮“戒灵”的场面，后天中的龙卷风等等，a52的汽车广告，反正只要是涉及DD公司制作的好莱坞一线大片，几乎都会有Houdini参与和应用。
Houdini不光只适用于视觉特效的制作，随着HOUDINI适用于各种平台，并且出现了很多的HOUDINI培训教学，HOUDINI开始进入了动态图像设计领域。因为其自身的流程化特性，加上其强大的动力学系统，让HOUDINI在数据可视化方面占有一席重要的地位，让图形设计师能够通过它表达自己的观点。

cmiVFX Houdini Procedural UV Editing
Make UV mapping much faster and easier for yourself with this new tool and training video. cmiVFX has just released “Houdini Procedural UV Mapping” with Twan de Graaf. In computer graphics, you are likely to use textures to define the shape and color of an object. However, most of the time this will require a transformation from 2D to 3D when you want to apply a 2D texture to a 3D model. UV mapping, as this is called, can be a tedious process, so this series will look at ways to make this process easier in Houdini, specifically by using a plug-in or digital asset created by the author of this video. This digital asset has the capability to automatically create UV maps according to parameters set by the user and it will help with the texturing process itself as well. NOTICE TO VIEWERS: A first party plug-in and some third party models are required to follow along with this lesson. The plug-in can be downloaded as a trial and will work with the free apprentice version of Houdini and the example models can be downloaded for free.
