PART I: Houdini's Character Roadmap with Cristin Barghiel

Houdini is getting a wealth of new character animation, rigging and CFX tools. From the new KineFX rigging and animation toolset powered by APEX and CFX tools such as muscles, cloth, hair, fur and feathers, Houdini offers artists a growing list of dedicated character creation workflows. Learn about the progress SideFX has made over the last couple of releases and take a peek into the roadmap to learn where things are headed.

Cristin Barghiel is the VP of Product Development at SideFX where he has worked for over 30 years. He started as one of the original architects and developers of Houdini. Currently, Cristin is in charge of the product direction, which involves working with customers and industry partners to increase productivity through innovation. Still very much a software guy at heart, Cristin works with a great team of SideFX developers, TD's and artists to make all of this happen.
