How can I add Handles to a digital asset using python? Is it even possible?

There is also http://cgru.info/afanasy/afanasy wich is free and open source.

You need a parameter for this. MaterialChange_fix.hipnc

Found the solution. Its done by setting the pretransforms.

I'm trying to make my own python mirror tool for rigging purpose. I want to mirror on the zy plane. What I've tried to far: transform = node.worldTransform() mirror_matrix = hou.Matrix4([[-1, 0, 0, 0], [0, 1, 0, 0], [0, 0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 0, 1]]) mirrored = transform * mirror_matrix node.setWorldTransform(mirrored) Is leading to this: Y and X axis are great, but the z Axis is oriented in the wrong direction. Can anyone help?

Ok, solved it myself. Just found out about the blend node

What is the best (fastest, cleanest) way of placing a null in the center of 2 other nulls? Doing it in sops is easy. But applying it back is a bit of a weird workflow to me. Would prefer a script to make it more clean. Need the transformation only for now, but knowing how it would work with a rotation Matrix would be also cool.

I've seen a syntax of getting matrix components in the recent entagma tutorial "polyfolding". he writes: matrix xform = set(bitangent, normal, tangent, origin); xform.xa = 0; xform.ya = 0; xform.za = 0; Now I'm wondering how is the syntax for the other values in a matrix (xa, ya, ...). Maybe someone can post a list of all of them? I know there is the getcomponent command, but I think this way is more elegant.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is the best way to mesh this for rendering?

The fit range node for example has this option to choose between float and uniform float. What does it mean? Whats the difference?

you can pack everything:

the ray sop either shoots a ray in some direction (default is normal) or chooses the closest point on a surface. extrudesop_002.hipnc

like that? ray.hipnc

Having the same Question. . Some how for string attributes this seems not to be the case.

Not really. The best way is to make your own radial menu. You also can use scripts in radial menus.
