hi, thank you very much.. i will try.. but it's really complicated, no? why houdini can't extrude a simple line? it seem me that older versions can do!?!

hi everyone, first, sorry for my english, i hope you will understand me. i want extrude a line for creating animation.. my lines come from an object, but for this demo, it's ony simple line node. when i extrude this simple line, extrude are not possible only if i rotate my line with a transform node.. if my lines are totaly in my axis, i can't extrude him. it seem me that it's not right.. please, someone have an idea for change this? my goal is each line are extruded in same orientation. you will find my file in attachement. you can change switch node for see what i say.. If someone can help me, it will good for me be. i thank you for read me. demo_line_XYZaxis.hiplc

Hi everyone, sorry again for my english.. i posted this topic into sidefx forum, but i don't have answer. I'm really stressed because i need to finish this work. I hope someone can help me here. i try to use hair system. But i have a problem with guidegroom, if i apply a hairclump node into guidgroom node, i can see that my guide are not stable, they are not fixed on my point, he turn around his axis when i start my animation. I attach an example for show you. There is a solution for stabilize my guide and he turn never on himself? I want my guide don't rotate on himself if i transforme my geometry, i want he stay stable.

Hi, first, sorry for my english, i have a problem and don’t find a solution.. i created tracker on pfmatchit and want export this tracker into houdini with all motion.. but i seem that it’s not possible to export 1 tracker with his motion.. I seen that it’s possible to export motion from my tracker in « ascii » format. and pfmatchit generate a .txt file. Now, i want know if it’s possible to import this format into houdini and read frame per frame the motion of my tracker? or past this list and create a script (simple) where my value from line 1 = frame1, line 2 = frame 2, line 3 = frame3 … i can separate easily value X and Y with a python script out of houdini, but for this moment, i don’t know write python into houdini.. anyone have an idea? For this moment, i don’t know use python.. i have a little experience.. But if anyone can put me on good way, it would be great.. Thank you very much..

hello all, i searched on forum but found nothing.. i created a city with foreach node. Actually, it's only simple cube with different hight. Now i want break with "make breakable" node each building. When i play my timeline, logically, my city is one block and to the first collide with 1 building, all my other building are brocken. Someone can explain me how i can separate each building easily please? I'm novice with Houdini, i don't again all.. Thank you very much.. (and sorry for my english)

hello, wow.. thank you very much for your help.. For me it's not a simple script... it's perfect.. very very very thank you.. I have an other question: I learned Python since 3 month.. now, i don't understand well python onto Houdini .. i can only write few line script.. can you tell me please if i must learn very well python and after it will easy to write code onto houdini? Or if "Houdini Python" is enough different some "python" and i must learn a new language "Houdini-Python"? this will help me to choose the best way, while now i'm a little lost.. i don't recognize python.. perhaps while i'm not enough experienced with python?! again thank you. See you Best regard Aurélien

hello all, I learn again and again Python on Houdini... i have a big problem.. i created "group node" and selected only some points.. i named my group "lineD" Now, i want take points from "lineD".. and convert in edge.. in fact, i want retrieve my points from my group node, and change it: "0-28" become "p0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16...." Because if i apply a bevel to my group "lineD", this is "point's bevel" and not "edge's bevel"... Please, i'm beginner, can you explain me a simple solution? if there is... or put me on good "way" And ... Sorry for my english.. tell me if it's not understandable thank a lot Best regard i searched a solution with points(), but i don't know how use this... i get always an error
