Today we have some major news to share. First, GeoTracker for Houdini is finally out of open beta and moving to a stable release!
Along with this update, we are introducing significant changes to our licensing: we’re launching the new FullBundle, transitioning to per-host licensing, and updating our pricing.
Let’s go through all the details step by step.
After a great open beta and invaluable feedback from you, GeoTracker for Houdini is now finally ready for production pipelines.
As a native SOP node inside both OBJ and Solaris contexts, it brings geometry-based object and camera tracking directly into Houdini, allowing VFX artists, motion designers, and generalists to matchmove and capture animation from 2D footage with zero app switching.
With the stable release, GeoTracker for Houdini now becomes a paid tool, with a 15-day fully-featured trial for everyone!
Let’s keep it short: we are moving away from multi-host licenses. Up until now, any product subscription covered the plugin across all available host platforms.
The reality is, developing and supporting our tools for completely different software is a massive, separate effort for each platform – sometimes it's basically like building separate products. So, with this in mind, we are shifting to host-specific subscriptions.
This means from now on each new subscription is tied to a specific host (for example, GeoTracker for Houdini, FaceBuilder for Blender, FaceBundle for Nuke, and so on).
Many of you have been asking for this for a while, now it’s finally here!
We are adding a new subscription tier – FullBundle. It combines all three of our products (GeoTracker, FaceBuilder, and FaceTracker) into a single bundle within one platform – either Nuke or Blender. The offer comes with a 33% discount (basically, you get the third product for free). Just in case, our classic FaceBundle (FaceBuilder + FaceTracker) remains available as well.
Let’s be direct (one more time): we are increasing our prices.
We are fully aware that this is never welcome news. Unfortunately, we’ve reached the point where we can no longer keep prices at the same level. This is our first price increase since December 2022, and only the second one in the history of KeenTools. We’ve maintained our old pricing for as long as we could, but now it is simply time for us to do this.
Please check the updated prices for all products on our Buying Page.
For all our current users subscribed through the KeenTools website or User Portal:
If you have an active subscription, nothing changes for you right now.
We are grandfathering in your current price, and the license will continue to work across Nuke, Blender, and After Effects just as it did before.
Honestly, we just felt this was the right thing to do.
Please keep in mind that all new subscription keys will ONLY work with plugin versions 2026.3 and higher.
Also, if your studio uses our floating License Server, you will need to update both the plugins and the License Server to the latest version to run the new keys.
The new plugin versions are ready. You can update your tools or grab the new Houdini stable release here:
