Or maybe you wanted this? if (@P.y > 0) { v@Cd = set(0,1,0); }else { v@Cd = set(1,0,1); } if (v@Cd == set(0,1,0)) { v@N *= 5; // this line changed }

Hi Gabor, it seems to work as expected. You can assign v@N = 5, but when doing so, you are abusing the syntax a bit. Houdini casts that 5 into a vector {5,5,5} Did you want something like this? if (@P.y > 0) { v@Cd = set(0,1,0); }else { v@Cd = set(1,0,1); } if (v@Cd == set(0,1,0)) { v@N = {0,5,0}; // I changed this line }

I believe, that you could send particles along the surface (or smoothed expanded surface by SDF functions). A particle would act as a head of snake. As in this tutorial, you need two vectors ... tangent and cross: https://vimeo.com/162213251 At first, those particles will read the tangent direction of the circle (or the line) and you can add a bit of cross vector. Later, they will read mainly the cross vector (and swirl more and more around the surface). At the very end, you could let the "heads" go far from the surface. To make the snakes "pack up" over each other, you will probably need a sop solver and feed the polywired trail into the SDF. Depends on how much realism is needed.

Max/Min and Noamlization of Attribute Values?
ikoon replied to shawn_kearney's topic in General Houdini Questions
Animatrix thank you very much for the OTL! Five years passed and I am thinking ... now that we have many new Attribute nodes, is this feature inbuilt in Houdini somewhere? -
[Python] .asCode() function and the SOP level solver node
ikoon replied to BWoods's topic in Scripting
Hi Brandon, what code do you use? I tried this and it prints the contents of the sop solver. Important thing is, that the editable part of the sop solver is in the /d/s sub network. I am on version 18.5.408 node = hou.node('/obj/geo1/solver1/d/s') node.asCode(recurse = True, brief = True) -
Table Import Sop might help: https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/nodes/sop/tableimport.html

Hi HIroki, you have to cast v@tangent like this: @N = v@tangentv; Without v@, Houdini considers only first float of @tangent and casts it into other components. For example tangent {-0.520081 , 2.20691e-08 , 0.854117} becomes N {-0.520081, -0.520081, -0.520081} You may check the Geometry Spreadsheet. By the way @N or @v or other common attributes work without v@, just because they are so common that SideFX saved our time so we don't have to type it EDIT: You may read more about the "Non-float attributes with known types" here in the docs: https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/vex/snippets.html

Hi, I haven't used HQueue for a very long time, so I am not able to help now unfortunately. But you should probably do the tests from the docs ... to see, if the services are running well and computers see each other: https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/hqueue/gettingstarted.html Or try to describe the issue here https://www.sidefx.com/bugs/submit/ and the Support team should be able to help you.

This might help, in some cases. Divide SOP, Remove Shared Edges, and then Fuse with original. At least Divide SOP might expose to you, where the holes are, and take care of them separately?

Hi, you may try different approach: Use the Polyframe SOP to create N as a tangent: And then the Group Create SOP to group by N: And then Dissolve:

Making function for returning array doesn't work
ikoon replied to amin.khormaei's topic in Scripting
Hi amin, this works, I just added the "function" function int[] amin() { return {1,2,3,4,5,6}; } i[]@test = amin(); EDIT: I am just adding link to the docs: https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/vex/lang.html#notes -
Update mode from “Always” to “Never.”
ikoon replied to cudarsjanis's topic in General Houdini Questions
Hi, if you would like only one key to toggle the states, you might want this script. I will copypaste it from the sidefx forum, original by Archie is linked below You can create the simple script for toggle between “Auto Update” and “Manual update”, for example: mode = hou.updateModeSetting().name() if mode == 'AutoUpdate': hou.setUpdateMode(hou.updateMode.Manual) if mode == 'Manual': hou.setUpdateMode(hou.updateMode.AutoUpdate) https://www.sidefx.com/forum/topic/21292/?page=1#post-99649 -
Hi Dominic, you probably accidentally created a New Take. You can go back to the Main Take and delete the new one in a Take List (image below).
