ok, try now. Some of the user groups had them turned off.

lol... that'll learn ya! I'll dig again, that's super weird.

So you still can't change your signature? Do you get an error when you go to this: https://forums.odforce.net/settings/signature/

They're turned on, and should be available. Certainly nothing has changed in the forum version recently.

Hey For all who have gone through this, how long does it take to get up to speed with redshift? Is it a smooth transition, or are there a bunch of gotchas that need to be learned? I've used a bunch of offline renderers, but the GPU world is new to me :). M

I'm busy working through this one and just converting it to mantra: https://renderman.pixar.com/louise I'm not sure how far I'll get, but it's an interesting experiment.

As far as I know the "cloth object" in DOPs is the FEM solver and the "vellum object" is PBD, so you can setup a sim with whichever solver you need.

I started explaining, but then realized I couldn't do as good of a job as SideFX already has :). http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/finiteelements/about.html The old cloth solver was FEM based and the Vellum solver is PBD which is a particle based solver.

This is interesting. Sound design is definitely something difficult to source if you don't know where to look. M

Hey. I haven't seen any skin shading tutorials specifically for Houdini, but for your other question I find the 'render view' tab to be quite stable to use. The only problem is if your shader changed dramatically then you'll need to stop and restart the renderer. M

It would be helpful to post a hipfile of what you've tried, or a gif of your results so far. Otherwise it's a difficult thing to know what you're trying to achieve

Try using an add SOP and removing the geo but keeping the points. That way whatever your incoming geo looks like will be the point layout.

ok there were some cached things and some hardcoded things, but I've flushed them all. I'm getting a 'secure' status on all pages now. Let me know if it's working for you. M

I think it's done? I'm getting https on all my links anyway. Let me know if it's all good on your end. M

Hey. Thanks for that link, I'll change it over this morning.
