Side Effects, developers of Houdini, have released a beta of their professional 3D software. The beta versions of the 9.5 release oare available for OS X, Windows and Linux. The beta marks the first release available for Mac OS X. The company says that Houdini “brings the 3D industry’s first node-based workflow to the Mac, ensuring that 3D artists can collaborate seamlessly in a multi-platform environment.“ The professional 3D software has been used in such projects such as Spiderman 3 and Resident Evil: Extinction, notes TUAW.

From TUAW:

Houdini will come in four editions:

  • a free Apprentice edition for learning the software, but that includes watermarks
  • a non-watermarked Apprentice HD for $99
  • Houdini Escape “with modeling, animation, characters, lighting, rendering and compositing” for $1995
  • Houdini Master “with all of Escape’s features plus particles and integrated dynamics such as rigid bodies, wire, cloth and fluids” for $7995.

Users can download the Apprentice and Apprentice HD versions right now, with the other versions expected for release on July 15. Houdini is exclusive to 64-bit Leopard versions of the Mac OS.
