🎉 Did you know nodes are turning 40?! 🕺 While everyone’s raving about “new” node-based interfaces, they’ve been around longer than some of us! Houdini has a pretty cool backstory. It all started with Prisms, which was developed for the biggest CG studio of its time—Omnibus—before it went bust in '87. 😬 But no worries! Kim Davidson and Greg Hermanovic scooped up the rights, launched Side Effects, and transformed Prisms into Houdini. For a hot minute, both were on the market as separate packages. ✨ Fun fact: Inside Prisms was ICE (Interactive Compositing Environment), the OG that kicked off node interfaces! Curious about Houdini's epic journey? Check it out here: https://www.fxguide.com/fxfeatured/side-effects-software-25-years-on/ 🚀 #CGI #Houdini #NodePower
