I'm not sure when you used it, but Houdini Indie[1] looks pretty reasonable- $200/year and you don't have to upgrade until you're doing $100k/year in revenue.

It was a long time ago. Like more than 10 years. The indie version is indeed much more reasonably priced but I don't do enough to justify 200/year. Blender hits my sweet spot :-)
