Belle | Houdini

Belle | Houdini is a software add-on for Houdini, the 3D modeling and animation program. It introduces a broad set of improvements and additional features that make everyday work inside Houdini easier, while opening up new capabilities needed to deliver exceptional works of art.

It was developed primarily to support my own entertainment artwork and production workflows. Because of this, it places a strong emphasis on preparing assets for animation, visual effects, real-time rendering, and games. Its development is driven by real studio use, which keeps the tools practical, focused, and production-grade.

Belle is a brand I use across several creative software packages as a personal mark of quality. While each Belle tool serves a similar role — extending and strengthening its host application — every implementation is purpose-built, shaped around the strengths, limitations, and working style of the specific software it lives in.
