at Deck 13 one of the tech artists uses Houdini on a regular basis
both studios are in germany
Also guessing Yager (Berlin, Germany) are on UE4.
We can't publicly announce who is using Substance extensively on current projects though but I'll be able to give you more details by PM if needed.
How you see adoption of Modo beside games industry in your countries? In my country I see many smaller companies that before would jump on 3dsmax instead goind to Modo/Cinema4D now.
I do have topic on odForce where I also ask this question once on 2 months, to see how the Houdini Engine adoption is going. I doesn't look like if there was to big change yet. I asked SideEffects about this but they didn't wanted to answer because of NDA's. But I think that it will take another year or more to see any change. The plugins for HEngine are in experimental stage right now and the documentation/pricing was just barely posted.
I don't know how it's where you are, but in my country there is couple days free now, so I will not bother you now and send you PM next week. Have fun if you also have work free time now.
I will probably follow the same route with this topic, like with the one I have on odForce, and bump it once on 2 months to see is there a change.
There is still no Houdini Engine implementation for UE4, but you can export FBX from Houdini. And with source code for it, it wouldn't be a problem to create custom exporter or reader for Houdini native file format. There is also Alembic in plans for UE4 that is already in Houdini.
I'm looking at possibility to develop Houdini Engine implementation myself, but
right now you cannot develop your own implementation with Free version of Houdini and since I don't own Houdini I need to prepare some plan before I will talk to Side Effects. If my plan will be interesting enough for them, they could prepare some licensing possibility for me to allow development.
But I'm waiting with this till I update my computer, because for the first time in 5 years, thanks to heavy UE4 editor, I feel that I need to upgrade my machine to have possibility to work comfortably
Do you know about any new companies that switched, added any of those products to their portfolio? I'm still interested in European companies only.
One modification to my question, lets not focus on game companies only. I know for example that ESRI (GIS mapping company) looked into using Houdini for procedural usage. So if you know companies that use any of those programs (or all at once) for other things (realtime things) I would love to hear about it.
