Houdini is an open environment which can interface with any major scripting programming language which supports socket communication. However, Python is increasingly the language being used for the package, making it easier for developers as Python is an easy-to-learn language when compared to other major languages. Houdini also covers the major areas of 3D production, such as modeling, animation, dynamics, particles, composting, rendering, and volumetrics. In addition, one of the most prominent features of Houdini is its flexible nature. In Houdini, each and every action is stored in a node, which can be wired together and create a project to alter the outcome as required, giving it a practical and procedural nature.
