SideFX added Arm Linux support to Houdini 22 as a 'Technology Preview'. It's not meant for full production workflows quite yet.

But I'm guessing people will flock to Arm pretty quickly if they can realize time and cost savings for compute!

Thanks to SideFX for reaching out and letting me play with early preview builds before launching Houdini 22; if you're interested, read more here: sidefx.com

The video also has a brief clip from this neat VFX reel from Outpost VFX, worth a watch if you want to see a modern compositing/rendering workflow: youtube.com/watch?v=gHsHgDMeYwc
