Any effect resolution depends on how close it is to the camera. Do your shot planning first, then add resolution as needed.

Okay. Solved! I have to spend lots of time to figure it out your second way that gets u. (Still confused me) Anyway, Cheers! And Merry Christmas!!!

There are several issues: If you look at your prim_ID attribute in "pointwrangle1" you can see, that it is always 0 (the primitive 0 is the lowest middle starting from the center -> so the values displayed are correct but probably not what you want). The reason for this (you initialize the attribute in pointwrangle1 while calling it -> to fix this you can capture the the primitive using xyzdist() as well) but on the other side, you are capturing the original geometry (overlapping) from the not overlapping geometry, which makes no sense in my opinion. What is wrong about doing the other way like in my example? @edit: here is another way capturing the position directly from carving Match_Carve_modA.hipnc

You can probably try to capture the u position of the parent prim using xyzdist() limiting to the Prim_ID you have defined. Once you have the u-parameter from the start and end point you can use the fit function (to fit them to 0-1). Match_Carve_mod.hipnc

Just ran into this same issue- if anyone else has this problem-I fixed it by going into the parameter edit menu (the gear icon)- made the parameter invisible- clicked apply- then made it visibile again- clicked apply- and I got all 3 (xyz) parameters back

Ever wondered how the Lattice SOP (or FFD in other 3D software) works under the hood? The secret lies in Bernstein polynomials—a fundamental part of Bézier curves. By understanding this math, you can push beyond the tool’s limits—like using VEX or OpenCL to overcome the 30-division cap. Special thanks to Bradley Henke at SideFX for his performance tips.

Can be done with simple noise animation without solver. particle_morph_v01.hip

If you want to avoid the the foreach (using carve) you can also use the clip node, which gives you the same result and it is also maintaining the point and the primitive attributes except the ordering of the point, which shouldn't be problem at all, because you store the old curveu attribute and it gets interpolated (by clip and carve aswell). Match_Carve_modB.hipnc

What do you mean by the image is stuck? Are you rendering with Mantra or Karma via LOPs?

Hi, Hannes. Thank you for reply. Your methods still would change those IDs when they pass another points. By the way I have solved this problem by group end points and blast it then copy their ID attribute to those points who is missing IDs.

Here are both HIP files posted on Discord. It's interesting to see the MPM solution. It seems a little too bouncy, and if you let it settle, there is volume loss there as well. ap_volloss_120224.hiplc vol_loss_mpm_dc_12_2024.hiplc

I adjusted the position of the source geometry and the reference geometry, so that no matter where the model is moving, the camera maintains the same Angle of view, and that's what I want, okay Thank you very much, ha ha!

It does, but the default mass on grain is way too high. ts_vellum_hair_grain_interaction_adjusted_mass.hipnc

@uupsayaya just search Nebula Karma Shader XPU on duckduckgo endless HDA and files.

I was looking for the same things, and after hitting all the key of my keyboard, I find that Ctrl+middle_mouse_click work for me ! Hope that help !

it says in the docs: "Scatter channel to read from the volume object. This acts as a multiplier on the scatter color, to texture the color of the volume." https://docs.arnoldrenderer.com/display/A5AFMUG/Standard+Volume What multiplication is that? 1 (colour white) * density? There is a big mess in the bottom of the cloud so I'd like to know what is the formula used? what's multiplied by what? If my volume is 9 times denser and the colour is 1 (white), does it mean the denser the brighter? I've included comparison (top: empty channel, bottom: channel is density)

Remapping an attribute so its maximum is 1.0: 1st point wrangle: setdetailattrib(0, 'height_max', f@height, "max"); 2nd point wrangle: f@height /= detail(0, 'height_max', 0);

There are so many nice example files on this website that I am often searching for. I wanted to use this page as a link page to other posts that I find useful, hopefully you will too.

Bumping this old thread in case anyone else finds themselves in a similar boat where they're drawing a blank on this technique and end up googling "Houdini noise transition". The trick is to first form your gradient using a value, in this case the x position along a grid... ...and then add noise to that value. For a deeper dive into this kind of thing, definitely check out this series of classes by Main Road Post and this brilliant page by Kiryha. Hope this helps.

Here is my re-work of your scene. I think it would be ok to scale up by 10, conduct the sim then scale down by 10 before outputting your final .bgeo.sc sequence. I basically started with one tire and prepared the white points without a FOREACH. Once I have the white points I delete the rest of the tire and add a polyextrude to create a thick patch. This tire patch is what gets fed into the fluid source, not the entire tire. I know it is not exactly the same but maybe it can help you out. You can still play with the wind tunnel, buoyancy as well as add curl noise to the velocity field. ap_OdForce_fluidSource_v01.hiplc

Thanks for the tip @acey195 and @petz thanks for the solution. Here is the quick VEX snippet that I tested, works a treat! // Get Lines vector A = point(0, "P", 0); vector B = point(0, "P", 1); vector C = point(1, "P", 0); vector D = point(1, "P", 1); // Calculate Line Vectors vector AB = B-A; vector CD = D-C; // Calculate To Vector vector toVec = A - C; // Calculate Intersection vector vecx = cross(AB, CD); float val1 = dot(vecx, cross(CD, toVec)); float val2 = dot(vecx, vecx); vector pos = A + (val1 / val2) * AB; addpoint(0, pos);

Just a drop in the bucket here. What the docs don't tell you about the output seed for the voronoise VOP is that it returns a signed 32bit int, basically a number from -2^31 to 2^31. If you want to turn that into some useful range like 0-1 all you need is to turn that int into a float (with an Inttofloat VOP) and then plug that float into a Fit VOP with the 1D Src Min and Max set to -2^31 to 2^31 respectivly. Enjoy. p.s. if you know some other voodoo about the Voronoise VOP please speak up.
