Hi, I just wanted to try arnold, but when I try to render it seems to not find "driver_houdini.so" , altough it is in the arnold plugin directory. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

Ok thanks, are u using it? I installed it, but how do I use vex with it?

Hi, Is someone here writing vex code with vim? I want to get started with vim and houdini (vim noob). But I have no idea on how to use autocompletion. I've seen those two gits: https://github.com/find/vim-vex-lang and https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi-vim . I've installed vim-vex-lang, but don't know how to activate it / trigger the completion. Maybe someone can give me a hint, any help is appreciated.

Hey! is there someone who tried Arch linux? Are things breaking because of the rolling release distribution?

Ah, thats it! Thank you!!

Hi! With the RBD-Solver how to edit velocities? I want to use vdb collisions and changing topology thats why I want to use RBDs not Bullet. With bullet I would use a wrangle and do something like v@v += curlnoise(v@P); How to achieve the same with rbds? RBD_DYNAMIC_FRACTURE_005.hiplc

Now i get it. thanks again! Highly appreciated!

ah, thanks!

If you want to give it a try. Here is a simple file. Sparse_Upres_001.hip

Hey, can someone help me upres a sparse sim? With pyro would be awesome!

Thanks Alejandro! But I'm not sure if you still be able to cook a frame range with each frame as an individual process this way?

Honestly I don't know why they are different, but you shouldn't have this kind of problem if you use materials. The quickshade is just for preview. Why would you want to match it? Even for previews you should consider using materials: https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/shade/opengl.html

Henry!!! Consider reading the help or at least watch a tutorial. You lost your way. What you need are materials!

Hi! I have a question regarding Tops (File attached). You have 3 Caches: first cache is a Sim; next cache only one frame, but dependent on the first frame of the sim; and a final cache dependent on both. If I try to do this somehow it fails always. Only after a 2nd try it works if the inital sim is allready cached. Odforce_Tops_001.hiplc

Hey @mrWolf, have you found a way?
