this is not exactly the correct thread for it the original question was about the full definition of the cvex shader vs older context specific sop vex shader in VEXpressions of most Wrangles and other nodes you are not typing the full shader, rather snippet and rather than using pure VEX you have some extra syntax like binding operator @ that will help houdini to build the shader code properly so by binding the ptnum using @ptnum it will generate the arguments of the shader function as well as use ptnum in the code automatically so in your case the code will be @scale = set(1, random(@ptnum*321.45)*2-1, 1);

25th Anniversary of Jeff (Old School) Wagner joining SideFX!
zarti replied to Jenny's topic in Lounge/General chat
as someone who has learned Hou in forums and looking at SideFX-s early videos , I am very thankful to your precious contribute ! i can even now hear your distinctive voice in my head now .. LOL ! thank you for your first 25 years Jeff !! .cheers -
I learned so much from this one: (timestamp to jump to the for each block). I had to watch that part several times, especially the spare parameters which are so useful if not absolutely mandatory. Spare inputs at the 0:51:50 mark

i don't understand. does anyone mind showing an example of what i need to type in to get the point values to show up? i'm following an older "beginner's" tutorial that has me write the following into VEXpression of my point wrangle node: @scale = set(1, random(ptnum*321.45)*2-1, 1); but I'm using Houdini 17.5 and it's giving me the error "reference to undefined variable: ptnum" what is the newer version of the expression?

Hello everyone, This is a sample question for you about the ocean spectrum. I want to export the deepest map from my ocean (height map)... I can do that for the cusp int the ocean evaluates, but for the deep of the wave, i can't see how to do that... Thank so much guy!! :)!!

Simple jitter/sway animation on instances
dgani replied to hampuseh's topic in General Houdini Questions
To get a unique animation per instance from sops, you'll have to unpack the geometry. If you don't want to do this, you'll have to use a custom vertex shader, which is definitely not simple. Either way, the way I'd do this would be to generate some sort of stiffness attribute on the geometry, and then use that as a multiplier for some flow noise in vops. -
Transform packed fragments at render time

I never did unfortunately.. Let me know if you do! -
Open the Color Correction bar (viewport menu "Persp" > Correction) and you'll see the Display / View being used in the viewport. My guess is that it's not set to the right view.

My quarrel has ended. We found a solution, and Alexey politely took back his harsher words. That was a surprising and nice turnaround in the end.

Multiple objects VDB convert and flatten

Thanks a lot, man. -
Multiple objects VDB convert and flatten
anim replied to imoh3n's topic in General Houdini Questions
it's just the viewport limit displaying your volume as lower resolution turn it off and all your approaches will display correctly -
you can try applying your color to twisted/deformed geo and then copy back to original colorTwist_mod.hip
-
if connect adjacent points provides good enough outline for your pointcloud then you can as well just use Triangulate 2D + Divide SOP to get exact outline, which will even match outline points nr_foot_outline_alt.hiplc

Hi guys, I would like to twist my geometry color while keeping the point position intact, so it will look like a paint spill kind of effects, how would I able to achieve it? Thanks. colorTwist.hip
-
not aware of such list, but it's not all black and white, once you know what each node does, it becomes more obvious what you can combine with what depending on result you are after like your mentioned Bounds + Match Size can very well be Bounds + Transform By Attrib as that's what you are actually using in that mode

Hey, ist quite some time ago I used Mantra to do some Rendering but for a Project I'm working on atm I like the more realistic look it gives me compared to redshift. So with redshift I'm just plugging in a normal map and it renders just fine. Trying to do the same with a classic shader but I just get a corrupted Image. Cant see any place to manually plug in Utan and vtan. Something I'm missing?

I've just configured OCIO to work with Houdini 17.5 and renderman and my viewport became very dark Instead of changing gamma is there a lut available somewhere to handle wiewport display under ocio ? or another way ? Thx
-
Hi guys, I need the solution too, have anyone figure it out? Emitting flip with different color.

One way to make better use of the particles that you already have, is to increase the Surface Oversampling of the reseeding. It defaults to 1.5, but I typically raise it up to 5-9, or even higher (24-36). This will spread out the particles, that are contained within each voxel. From the look I see in your video, you do have the Influence and Drop scale set very close to one another. Try widening the gab between those two values.

Hi I've confused about converting polygon to VDB. Suppose we have about 100 geometry and we want to convert them to VDB fog, there is a huge difference in quality if you convert them directly or one by one with a loop. Direct : With loop : Another problem comes up when I want to flatten all the VDBs that come from the loop, I miss the details and the result is the same as the direct convert. Flatten VDB : I've attached the .hip file, hope anybody can help me. vdbCombine.hip

Tha't it! Thanks

Maybe you are not earning anything because of your pricing structure? You continue to ignore feedback from people who are your actual customers, who have bought the plugin from you already and have enjoyed the plugin - and now we are giving constructive criticism over your pricing structure and strategy because it is not ethical and quite honestly you just seem to be making things up as you go along. 'Closing the sale on Gumroad' is another perfect example of how you have the wrong attitude towards this situation.

Hello! I am currently instancing a few hundred bushes from speedtree. I am wondering, what would be a "simple" way to animate the instances in a small manor? Lets stay I just want the bushes to sway back and forth with some kind of noise added. Anyone have any ideas? The animation would be per instance so I dont want to deform the instance. I only want to move the whole object in a "logical" manner.
-
So I've found a much simpler solution Copy grids on the polygon so that they' re oriented normal to the polygon, then use that geometry to boolean shatter the object.

Anyone knows what does surface tension does actually? I tried reading the doc but couldn't get it.
