a few thing you need to do to render -Make sure you have the lights contributing to the volume -Be sure that you have a volume shader connected to an output -Make sure that you are using the correct channels from the pyro output -Play with the advanced tab and remap your values if you need to -If you are using the pyropostprocess delete the shop_material (however I can remember if that was introduced in 18 or 18.5) That should do it theoracally Other than that upload a .hip would be easier to see what is happening.

drop an AOV node or use the AOV from the ROP then you choose the aovs that you want or use the custom to grab stuff from RSusercolordata, make sure that the names match in the rop and customaov
-
Make sure you are using a fog vdb instead.

What do you mean by activating? do you want to use falloff to drive forces or constraints? Depending on what you want you need to use the falloff in pts or primitives. Here is a simple example of animating the falloff to drive a force. falloffDrivingForce.hip

All handles work great except the missing Scale hande
Sepu replied to anbt's topic in General Houdini Questions
That's just a limitation of RS, you gotta use the area size inside the light properties. Another option is to create your own python state for it. -
Like this. normaldirection.hipnc

[SOLVED] Copy To Point failed even had Normal vector on points
Sepu replied to Max_Steven's topic in Modeling
promote your normals from vertex to point, that should do it. CopyToPoint_Normal.hip -
Vellum + RBD do not talk to each other by default. You can "fake" it and make it work there is a thread here in odforce about it. Or you could try the shapematch constraint that mimics/similar an RBD behavior, you have to .499 to use it. https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/nodes/sop/vellumconstraints.html

How do I transfer normals from my base object to copy to points?
Sepu replied to carl45456's topic in General Houdini Questions
Here is way centroidpts.hip -
use setpointgroup function

What you could do is explore Bifrost, which will read attributes coming from Houdini then you will need to transfer those into something that BF understands. However you will have to export and abc if you are using redshift as render engine, but you will have control in Maya. If use Arnold you can keep everything procedural.

Here is one way sample_test.hipnc

Alembic export to Maya--color set not read
Sepu replied to bentway23's topic in General Houdini Questions
without looking at the file is tough to say. But I would suggest bringing the alembic into Bifrost and render from there. BF should be able to read data. -
export points as maya locators (with transforms)
Sepu replied to catchyid's topic in General Houdini Questions
Another option is to bring the data/pts into Maya through Bifrost Graph and convert the pts into locators there. -
How to set a specific color on an attribute or group
Sepu replied to anbt's topic in Lighting & Rendering
The material SOP allows you to apply different materials to different groups. The user_color_data or point_Attribute allows you to use attributes to materials such as Cd, etc.
