action for the values outside the find attribute value array

thank you -
Thank you Haggi, I was looking for the trail sop but forget the name.. Nems.
-
I suppose that's because the optransform() returns identity matrices only in your case. What about using a trail sop to calculate the velocity automatically? Or use a timeshift to calculate the previous point position.

Thanks man this works great! Yeah the problem was my UVs It was too small. Anyway thanks a bunch!

Can't we apply materials to point groups using the material SOP?

I think now Mantra does, Arnold doesnt work with shop_materialpath on points -
load NodeGraphCommon.inc from custom location
martinkindl83 posted a topic in General Houdini Questions
Hello guys. Im doing some changes to NodeGraphCommon.inc and NodeGraphDark.inc to change my colors and some extra bits. Is there any chance to avoid changing them in the install directory and use my user directory? Not always i have rights to edit those two files inside the install directory. Putting them into userDir/Houdini xx/config doesnt help. M -

anim replied to KavinduMathish's topic in General Houdini Questions
If you switch Attributes drop-down to Point attributes it should work for point groups In the past I think Mantra didn't work with point based shop_materialpath so there is a chance it still doesn't, but if I remember correctly Redshift did, I haven't tried for a while though -

Started to get some cool things myself for a project, using my own ways, still feel a limited to code my own subdivision rules Obviously how not to mention master Michael Hansmeyer here? _______________________________________________________________ Vincent Thomas (VFX and Art since 1998) Senior Env and Lighting artist & Houdini generalist & Creative Concepts http://fr.linkedin.com/in/vincentthomas (Available soon, feel free to contact for reel and resume=

Really interesting thread here. Recently, our brilliant friend Akira Saito came out with the generation of some splendid forms. I though it wirth a share My assumption is he is using fractal and recursive subdivision iterations using nonstationary weights based on custom division patterns. Found it was worth to share

maintain scattered points based on curvature
vinyvince replied to demoan666's topic in General Houdini Questions
Here is a quick capture example using attribfade (and point deform) , you could apply the same method, and even if your cavity map is changing, it will react hopefully smoothly enough. I havent used it for this kind of effect, but You could also eventually used Chop to smooth the anim ________________________________________________________________ Vincent Thomas (VFX and Art since 1998, Available soon) Senior Env and Lighting artist & Houdini generalist & Creative Concepts http://fr.linkedin.com/in/vincentthomas ballnoiseanimatedpscalefading.mp4 -

Hi, I would like to ask how to export instanced geometry using Instance Node to FBX? I would like to get the instanced geometry out to work with it in Maya LT (that's why FBX) Thank you in advance!

action for the values outside the find attribute value array
amin.khormaei replied to amin.khormaei's topic in Scripting
thank you but your code doesn't work, I want to scale the point with random_number attribute that equal with 3 by specific_pscale slider and the rest of the points with the rest slider. I'm tested the find, find returns the index of certain value in the array -
maintain scattered points based on curvature
vinyvince replied to demoan666's topic in General Houdini Questions
Tesan pointed you to the most common method to sticks your scatter points to your deformed geo. Now well dont expect miracle. If your curvature is changing quite importantly, your density distribution will also be and off course your scatter point can't stick. - Try first to see if you could find a frame where the curvature could be a decent compromise for all the animation. - If not other ideas will be play with pscale to fadeoff the point instead of brutal disappearing and do a linear interpolation with different timeshift value offset in time. Or morph between then, so the scatter point could "slide" on the surface and change scalling up and down. - Finally a brutal force solution, scatter point all around , stick in place, and link your curvature to pscale using a ramp to fine tune control. Can't see other solution for now, hope it helps! ________________________________________________________________ Vincent Thomas (VFX and Art since 1998) (Available soon) Senior Env and Lighting artist & Houdini generalist & Creative Concepts http://fr.linkedin.com/in/vincentthomas -

you have to use prim groups instead. -

anim replied to amin.khormaei's topic in Scripting
Not by Houdini right now, but I think you may want something like this int values[] = findattribval(0,"point","random_number",3); @pscale = find(values, @ptnum) >= 0 ? chf('specific_pscale') : chf('rest'); - Last week

Did you check the UV View (Space+5 in the Viewer)? Depending on your scale you might need to decrease the spacing on the UV Unwrap by a lot. Anyways, heres a file: frac_uv.hiplc

as you can see the code below: i[]@values = findattribval(0,"point","random_number",3); for(int i = 0 ; i < len(@values) ; i++) { if(@ptnum == @values[i]) { @pscale = ch('specific_pscale'); } else { if(@ptnum != @values[i]) @pscale = ch('rest'); } } the second if inside the else doesn't work properly.
