About This App

Houdini Apprentice is the free, non-commercial version of SideFX's Houdini, a procedural 3D software suite used for modeling, animation, simulation, rendering, and visual effects. It is widely used in professional VFX pipelines at studios like Disney, ILM, and MPC, and is also popular among students, hobbyists, and indie creators learning 3D procedural workflows. Houdini Apprentice supports the full procedural toolset of the commercial version but with restrictions on commercial use and rendering output resolution. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
