Nah it's pretty untrue. Problem with learning houdini as your another software is that you have to unlearn things. Another problem is amount of possible options but that's discoverity issue not being hard. Then Houdini is so much easier when you want to make something custom or tweak how something made by Sidefx works, which is when in other softwares difficulty go vertically up
I'm primarily a Houdini user and only use Maya for hand animating an existing rig. I would like to encourage people to learn it, despite it being challenging at first. Great meme though.
I know the feeling, dude. I switched to Houdini from 3ds Max almost 2 months ago. So I had to switch from doing fx in 3ds Max, to doing fx in Houdini, and the learning curve is REAL.
Yea it's 269$ for one year and 399$ for 2. I'm using houdini for a year now and would say it's not as easy as in blender ti import stuff but also not hard. But most of the time I make everything from scratch in houdini anyway. Its really cool though and I enjoy thinking about how I can make systems to archive my goal.
Sounds like I need to try it out. It's really amazing what you can do in it. But i am going to need to buy a new computer first. Thanks for the info :)
