My very first time with Houdini. I'm not a FX artist so I would like to see if it's a good software for modeling and rendering: so yes it's good for hardsurface modeling but I'm not sure it is a good choice for modeling complex stuffs. But rendering is very nice with it!
I will continue to explore it because is a very powerfull software and after couple of days of use I admit : I like it very much!
