Hi guys, I am trying to get a high surface tension effect like merging two fluid drops together but in a certain area so tried to use a volume to mask but no luck, can anyone take a look at the scene? Regards flip_masked_stension.hip

Just found out the solution actually, required an extra step but can be done by exporting as alembic rope > then import as alembic in houdini then export again with "Load as: Unpack Alembic Delayed Primitives" would be nice if this setting was also in rop alembic.

Hey guys, I have scene where i emit debris geometry as RBD sim. cached out as bgeo and trying to export as alembic to both MAX and Maya for render work. Problem is debris is being created on the go like in first frame there is 10 pieces of debris then on frame 2, 30 more created etc. when i export as alembic and import in max, all the debris pieces are visible and created even in the first frame they are just staying still untill the time they being created and start moving afterwards. How can solve this? ( PS: Engine is not an option right now, alembic needed) thank you!

Here's the solution if anyone encounters the same problem and finds the post https://www.sidefx.com/forum/topic/72027/?page=1#post-305003

Hey guys, I'm trying to do multi pass rendering but diffuse filter pass seems not working, I use "Surface Unlit Diffuse Color" component but its rendering dark. What i noticed is if I use the build in texture parameter in the principled material diffuse filter shows up and working but when i wire texture nodes to principled shader it doesnt work any tips? I attached a scene which i have 2 individual spheres one with working shader the other one is the problematic one. thanks! DiffuseFilterPass_Problem.hip

Oh!! there is no single parameter left unchecked and i forgot about gravity thanks Evan

Hey guys, I have a pretty simple scene here where I emit some particles and using particles to create density + velocity in a pyro sim, two unexpected things happening; 1 - Even if I turn off the Volume source (the one brings velocity) there still some velocity exist in the pyro (showing up at guide) 2- Emitted smoke tend to go dissipiate a little bit and move downwards (i expect it to be just frozen in mid air) even tho dissipation is off and there is no low temperature or too thic heavy smoke exists. Anyone can shed some light? thanks! VelocityProb.hip

Hi Eric, there can be more elegant solutions but here a 5 minute setup might work for your case. RotationOnlyCons_Yigit.hip rotateonly.mov

Here I made the basic setup, I believe this is what you are after. Red wall simulated as "Layer 1" then sent to "Layer 2" sim as animated static object and active sphere objects are attached to it. Something important; Always set the constraints between "active" -" animated static objects" breakable otherwise solver will be confused and may cause erratic behaviour as it will be stuck between unmoveable animated objects and unbreakable constraints. Hope this helps Constraints.mov Animated_To_Active_Constraints_Yigit.hip

If you are using "glue" type constraints between a cached animated rbd object and an active rbd objects thats the problem, you can't use "Glue" try using hard or soft constraints with some basic dialing hard can act like glue good luck!

Just found about the same post thanks a lot Victor !

Hi guys, I am trying to isolate a higher velocity area so i can add turbulence only on those portions but no luck, with temperature it works i can add turbulence only high temperature voxels. Does anyone know whats i'm missing? Pyro Control Field Vel Problem.hip

Up anyone?

Sorry I dont really follow up whats constant material builder? I already have a principled shader assigned to the torus but does not work
