Blender 4.4 stabilized its Vulkan backend and shipped a production VSE, Houdini 21 polished Karma XPU and KineFX, Maya 2026 elevated USD to a first-class citizen, ZBrush 2026 moved inside Maxon One, Substance Painter 11 is experimenting with AI textures, and Nuke 16 added USD lights and ML nodes. Meanwhile Move.AI · Rokoko Vision · Plask · Cascadeur made markerless AI mocap and AI-assisted animation the new normal, and Meshy · Tripo · Trellis · Rodin generate game assets from a single text line. This article walks through the entire 2026 VFX stack in one breath: modeling, sculpting, texturing, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing, tracking, and pipeline.

Blender 4.4가 Vulkan 백엔드를 안정화하고 프로덕션 VSE를 들고 오고, Houdini 21이 Karma XPU와 KineFX를 다듬고, Maya 2026이 USD를 1급 시민으로 끌어올리고, ZBrush 2026이 Maxon One 안으로 들어오고, Substance Painter 11이 AI 텍스처를 시험하고, Nuke 16이 USD 라이트와 ML 노드를 추가한다. 한편 Move.AI·Rokoko Vision·Plask·Cascadeur는 마커리스 AI 모캡과 AI 보조 애니메이션을 새 표준으로 만들고, Meshy·Tripo·Trellis·Rodin은 텍스트 한 줄로 게임 자산을 뽑는다. 이 글은 모델링·스컬프팅·텍스처링·리깅·애니메이션·시뮬레이션·렌더링·합성·트래킹·파이프라인까지 — 2026년의 전체 VFX 스택을 한 호흡으로 정리한다.
