Description

FurryBall merges the rapid rendering capabilities of GPUs with the high quality and extensive features typically found in CPU rendering systems. This rendering solution is notably swift, leveraging GPU power to achieve remarkable speed unlike traditional CPU-based systems. However, it is important to note that FurryBall was discontinued in 2018, and as such, no support or maintenance is available for users. The software offers standalone versions and plugins compatible with Autodesk Maya, 3DS Max, and Cinema 4D. Additionally, FurryBall employs UNBIASED Monte Carlo raytracing (a path tracing method akin to the CPU-based Arnold renderer) while providing real-time progressive previews directly in the viewport. The system supports final frame rendering in various file formats, along with the ability to handle layers and passes efficiently. Originally designed for CGI animated films, visual effects, and feature movie production, FurryBall RT is particularly user-friendly, allowing artists to adjust the overall image quality with just a single parameter if desired. This combination of features made FurryBall a unique tool in the rendering landscape before its discontinuation.

Description

Houdini was designed from the ground up to empower artists to work freely, create multiple iterations, and quickly share workflows with their colleagues. Houdini stores every action in a node. These nodes are "wired" into networks that define a "recipe", which can be tweaked to improve the outcome, then repeated to create unique results. Houdini's procedural nature is due to the ability of nodes to be saved or to pass information (in the form of attributes) down the chain. Houdini's unique nodes are what make it powerful. However, there are many viewport and shelf tools which allow for artist-friendly interaction. Behind the scenes, Houdini creates the networks and nodes for you. Houdini allows artists to explore new creative paths, as it is easy for them to branch off to explore other solutions.
