What is Mari?

Shifting from conventional procedural methods to intricately hand-painted textures, Mari delivers an extensive 3D painting platform. Mari® equips artists with sophisticated tools designed to handle complex assets through user-friendly 3D painting features, inspiring their creative journeys. With its support for UDIM workflows, it allows for efficient management of multiple high-resolution texture maps, complemented by a projection-based painting system that facilitates pre-commit edits, contextual previews, and 2D adjustments. This versatility frees artists from limitations regarding resolution and complexity, fostering a more imaginative process. Mari’s non-destructive layer and node graph systems empower creators to achieve their desired visuals while offering a broad spectrum of procedural choices. The Materials System streamlines the creation of simpler, high-volume assets or acts as a crucial step in developing standout hero assets, enhancing overall productivity. Additionally, Mari’s extensive Python API and robust OCIO color management capabilities make it an indispensable resource for contemporary 3D artists. Consequently, Mari serves as a seamless blend of functionality and artistic freedom, ensuring that creators can manifest their ideas into reality without any constraints. This unique combination of features helps artists explore new dimensions in their creativity.

What is Houdini?

Houdini was meticulously crafted to give artists the freedom to innovate, enabling them to generate various iterations and swiftly collaborate with their peers. Each action performed in Houdini is encapsulated within a node, which are interconnected to form networks that represent a "recipe" that can be adjusted for better results and reused to yield distinct outcomes. The procedural essence of Houdini stems from the nodes' ability to retain or transfer information (as attributes) throughout the process. The power of Houdini lies within these unique nodes, yet it also offers numerous viewport and shelf tools that facilitate an intuitive experience for artists. While users engage with the interface, Houdini automatically constructs the necessary networks and nodes in the background. This design empowers artists to venture into new creative avenues, as they can effortlessly diverge to investigate alternative solutions, making the platform both versatile and user-friendly. As a result, artists are not only able to create but can also adapt and refine their processes in real time, enhancing their overall creative journey.
