Side Effects Software, an industry leader in 3D animation and visual effects software, is excited to announce the immediate release of Houdini 11. With a focus on productivity, Houdini 11 meets the needs of artists and studios who are looking for ways to accomplish more and work faster. From the new FLIP fluids solver, which offers amazing speed and control, to automatic fracturing of RBD objects, to a re-architected shader building workflow, artists will be able to work much more effectively with Houdini 11.
Operating System
Windows: Tested on Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit)
Mac OS X: Requires 64-bit Intel-based Mac with OS X v10.5 Leopard or 10.6 Snow Leopard.
Linux:
Ubuntu 9.04
Debian 5.0 (32 and 64-bit)
RHEL 5
Fedora Core 6
Requires administrator privileges to install.
GL-enabled desktops are not currently supported.
Memory
2 GB required
2-4 GB+ recommended
4-6 GB+ and 64bit strongly recommended for fluid simulations
Multiprocessor systems should be configured with additional RAM
Houdini supports multiprocessor compositing and rendering
Processor
Recent generation 32 or 64-bit AMD or Intel processor (requires SSE or higher)
Houdini supports MMX and Streaming SIMD (SSE2) where present
Disk Space
500 MB required for installation
Input Devices
3 Button mouse required
Scroll wheel used where present

Graphics Card
Workstation-class OpenGL graphics card, such as NVidia Quadro and ATI Fire Pro, are required for professional use in production.
Non-workstation cards, such as GeForce and Radeon, can be used at your own risk. They may be used for learning and personal use but they are not supported as you may experience display problems, slow performance, and the software exiting unexpectedly.
Graphic Card drivers: NVidia: 185 or higher, ATI: 8.683 or higher.
Minimum resolution: 1024 x 768; Recommended resolution: 1920 x 1200 (widescreen)
512MB VRAM required for single 1920x1080 display or lower
1GB VRAM required for dual displays or single displays greater than 1920x1080
Minimum OpenGL version of 2.0; recommended OpenGL version 3.0
Color depth of 16-bit+ required with 32-bit+ (“true color”) recommended
Hardware-accelerated OpenGL required for optimum performance
Performance may suffer with complex scenes on non-workstation graphics cards and on laptops
Integrated Intel graphic cards are not supported
Houdini does not require support for Direct3D (all viewports and interfaces use OpenGL)
We don't recommend any specific computer manufacturer. As long as your machine meets the recommended ram, cpu, and graphics card, it's good to go.
Other
Sound card and speakers/headset required for audio
Class C network (TCP/IP) recommended for floating licenses
Network support required for offline simulation, batch processing and rendering
Internet browser required for connection to www.sidefx.com (Houdini Exchange and Forum)
Video encoder required for creating AVI/QT/etc.
