Houdini’s Game Development Toolset is a collection of high-level tools that can speed up game development workflows in Side FX Houdini. There are over 30 tools that range from UVing to generating Motion Vectors from simulations. The Game Tools are not part of the regular development cycle for Houdini but instead issued when they are complete.
