How to read from primitive groups in point or pop wrangles?
anbt posted a topic in General Houdini Questions
Hello guys, I have this pop wrangle inside a vellum solver and I am trying to read from a primitive group and it doesn't work. Do I have to convert those groups into point group first or is my code just wrong? Cheers -
How to create a mesh between a curve and a collision surface
anbt replied to anbt's topic in General Houdini Questions
created my collision group > blast > sort point > fuse point > add Then used a polybridge and that did the trick -
Attribute paint causing FileCache to error

a timeshift set to $FEND in my case and an attribute copy fixed my issue. But I don't get why -
How to create a mesh between a curve and a collision surface
anbt posted a topic in General Houdini Questions
Hello guys, I hope my drawing is helpful. I would like to create some sort of membrane/wing. I have an animated plant geometry (represented by the cube) and I would like to create wings on each side. I thought of starting by creating a curve and meshing what is in between that curve and the collision surface but I don’t know how to make it work. Any clues? Thanks -
Attribute paint causing FileCache to error
anbt replied to anbt's topic in General Houdini Questions
I noticed it was the attribute paint fucking up my File Cache. Does anyone understand this? Thanks -
I am not sure what is happening, but whether it is set on explicit File Path ($HIP/cache/$OS/$OS.bgeo.sc) or constructed (Base Name: $OS, Base Folder: $HIP/cache/$OS/$OS.bgeo.sc), the new File Cache keeps erroring, whether I use 'Save to Disk' or '...in Background'. It is driving me mad!!! Weirdly it worked somewhere upstream in my network, but that one I am talking about has a merge node feeding into it but I don't think that is an issue, at least it wasn't before. Is there a bug with the node? Cheers

How to convert points scattered on a surface back to that surface
anbt replied to anbt's topic in Modeling
Thank you all for the answers. I thought it was a trivial issue and a simple wrangle would solve the pb but I was wrong hehe. I will experiment with what you all replied. -

I want to do what AntoineSfx tried to find out. Just recreate a geometry from points only. -
Houdini won't let me tick the Minimal Solver check box
anbt replied to anbt's topic in General Houdini Questions
I noticed this afterwards, thank you. And also, if I am not wrong, the option is only present on the Pyro Solver Sop, not in Dop anymore (in houdini19) -
Houdini won't let me tick the Minimal Solver check box
anbt posted a topic in General Houdini Questions
Hi guys, As per the title, I can't even check that box. My GPU supports it for sure... Is this a bug or am I missing something? Thanks -
I have selected the first points of some lines scattered around a tube like shape. I get what is on the image. I'd like to convert this into a polygon. You will tell me to just get the shape I used to scatter the line around, but to make it short, this is animated and the original tube shape doesn't move the same as the one you see in the picture (this comes out of a vellum solver) Hope I am clear. I could for example use a VDB from particles, but is there a node to just link all the points into a surface. A bit like a skin sop. Cheers

How to dynamically toggle 'invert sign' of static object in DOPs?
anbt replied to anbt's topic in Effects
@Dweeble yes indeed, just once, and potentially later again at another frame. But I have no clue if this is gonna fix my problem, this is just an idea to try -
How to dynamically toggle 'invert sign' of static object in DOPs?
anbt replied to anbt's topic in Effects
Here is the full description of my issue with the hip file. I am generating a flip sim within a hollow VDB collider. That same VDB opens up at the top (ideally, I'd like the liquid to overflow from the top at some point), but for some unknown reason (possibly this VDB sign), the sim starts to get slow, and it stops filling up. https://www.sidefx.com/forum/topic/80058/?page=1#post-343937 I am baffled by this issue. And couldn't get any clue as to what's not working so far. -
How to dynamically toggle 'invert sign' of static object in DOPs?
anbt replied to anbt's topic in Effects
I am silly, I have to use a volume wrangle, but in the end, it doesn't do what I expected so whatever, this is not the way -

anbt replied to anbt's topic in Effects
Thanks for your answer, I tried but it doesn't change anything. Is my attribute wrangle placed correctly? I tried 'run over points' and primitive in the wrangle) Where can I see the sign value in the geometry spreadsheet of my static object VDB collider, so I can see if anything changes? Cheers
