Unleash the full power of Houdini — without being tied to hardware

Houdini is powerful 3D software for modeling, animation, and visual effects created by SideFX. Widely used in game development, the film industry, and advertising, Houdini software 3D stands out for its procedural generation capabilities, simulation of physical effects (such as explosions, smoke, and water), and the flexible Houdini 3D node-based approach to scene creation.

Houdini program is available forthe following operating systems:

  • Windows (usually Windows 10 and newer versions are supported)
  • macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel, starting with macOS 11 Big Sur, depending on the version of Houdini for Mac)
  • Linux (distributions such as CentOS, Rocky Linux, Ubuntu LTS are officially supported for Houdini Linux)

Important: Houdini’s performance can vary significantly depending on the OS and hardware configuration, especially in Houdini VFX rendering or simulations.

Why do users choose cloud services, and what is Aristeem?

Cloud platforms allow Houdini OS X and Windows users to run Houdini without the limits of a local machine — quickly, scalably, and economically. This benefits studios, freelancers, and VFX teams who value performance and mobility.

Reasons:

  1. High system requirements
    Houdini 3D modelling needs a powerful processor, large RAM, and high-performance GPU. Cloud solutions provide these resources instantly, without investing in hardware.
  2. Simulations and rendering
    Physically accurate effects like fluids or smoke consume time and power. Cloud environments accelerate Houdini apprentice simulations through parallel processing.
  3. Access from any device
    Users can run Houdini for Mac or other systems via the cloud — calculations happen remotely.
  4. Teamwork
    VFX artists collaborate in shared setups, avoiding compatibility issues with Houdini program versions or OS types.
  5. Flexible payment
    Aristeem enables hourly billing or project-based pricing — perfect for studios or Houdini apprentice.
  6. Security and reliability
    Cloud saves and backs up projects, ensuring safe use of Houdini software 3D even if local failures occur.

Aristeem provides GPU-powered stations optimized for Houdini 3D, letting you simulate, render, and work remotely, securely, and OS-independently.
