Thanks everyone, very good tips!

[How can I deform a geometry using a curve?]

Hi guys,

As you can see here, I deformed a curve using "Full Body IK" and "RigPose" nodes.

How can I deform a geometry (Tube) with that deformed curve?

 

Thanks for helping.

Hi guys;

In a "foreach" loop, how can I retrieve “iteration” value from the "metadata", to write in a parameters tab?

[CopyStamp: How can I pass different bend values to each copy?]

Thank you Fred, very useful.

[CopyStamp: How can I pass different bend values to each copy?]

Hi;

In a Copy Stamp SOP, I would like to pass different bend values to each copy of geometry, based on a point attribute.

I don't know where should I place the "Bend SOP" ,and how to retrieve the values.

 

Thanks for helping.

Hi;

How can I create a random color for each connected piece? Is there a sop node for this purpose?

Hi;

I would like to apply taper in just one direction as you can see in the image below.

How is it possible in Houdini?

[Massive slowdown at Merge Node]

Hi;

I think: because each group of your objects in your merge node inputs are too far away from eachother, merging them you will create a huge bounding box in memory, so  Houdini have to handle  a big cluster of memory...

["GameDev Path Deform" issue with overlapping areas...]

Hi Tesan,

I think there is no way to weld those points. Maybe I should change my workflow.

["GameDev Path Deform" issue with overlapping areas...]

Hello Tesan;

Want to thank you for your quick reply, but I need to fix the penetrations (I mean not curve's "banking").

Here is what I need to fix:

["GameDev Path Deform" issue with overlapping areas...]

Hi guys;

I tried to deform a box using "GameDev Path Deform" as you can see in the image below which works fine but how can I fix the artifacts (penetrations) at the overlapping areas?

(I mean I need to fix the penetrations and make a clean topology).

 

Thanks for helping.

Hi Tesan,

Thank you for the reply, but the particles don't move in your scene, too!

[How can I add velocity to particles from a smoke (volume)?]

Any idea?

If you are happy with your particle simulation the I suggest you convert the particles to volume...

[How can I add velocity to particles from a smoke (volume)?]

Hi;

I would like to add some velocity to particles from a volume (smoke), so I tried to use "POP Attribute from volume", but it doesn't work.

How can I fix it?

Actually, "POP advect from volume" works, but I would like to ADD/Multiply the velocity to particles, not advect them.

 

Thanks for helping.

[Connecting points using ADD sop, issue...]

Hello;

I would like to connect some points (generated by a POP net), so I add an "ADD" SOP. In the "By Group" tab, I used the "id" attribute, but it doesn't work. How can I fix it?

[Surface from 2D imported (DXF) shapes, issue...]

Thanks to everyone;

Your solutions are very useful, but it seems Houdini needs some new nodes in dealing with such shapes.

[Surface from 2D imported (DXF) shapes, issue...]

Hi "Tesan";

Thank you for your reply.

Your solution is helpful in this case, but is there any solution for complex shapes with a lot of inside shapes?

[Surface from 2D imported (DXF) shapes, issue...]

Hi;

I tried to create a surface out of my imported shape (e.g. a DXF file) using a "Planar_Patch_From_Curves" SOP, but it fills the inside shapes as you can see in the image below.

How can I fix it?

 

Thanks for helping.
