It looks like your collision velocities are the problem. New particles in the front immediately collides and gets pushed forward with that velocity. You can test this by setting Volume Motion -> Velocity Scale to zero and it should only collide and flow along, ignoring the collision velocity.

Yeah why not, try it. edit: I mean if you want different materials like that you probably have to do it another way.. But just different textures with different uvs it should be fine. Maybe need some way to mask between them though if they're overlapping. Sorry maybe I was too fast to answer

New Entagma Video: Volume Rasterize Attributes Node
Skybar replied to MilesS1's topic in General Houdini Questions
No, just the node called ”VDB”. That will essentially just create an empty VDB volume, our ”base” volume. Plug that into the first input, and then the particles in the second. -
New Entagma Video: Volume Rasterize Attributes Node
Skybar replied to MilesS1's topic in General Houdini Questions
Haven't used H17 yet and I dont particularly know what that coverage means, but yeah it uses Rasterize Particles internally: http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/nodes/sop/volumerasterizeattributes.html Rasterize Particles needs a base volume as you say, so just put down a VDB SOP in the first input and particles in the second. This is probably what Rasterize Attributes does internally too, just neatly packed up. If you are curious why not download the apprentice of H17 and take a look inside it -
New Entagma Video: Volume Rasterize Attributes Node

Not in front of Houdini atm but you have Rasterize Points/Particles, VDB from points and Volume from attribute. Any of those should be able to do what you want. -

How to create a custom colour attribute in the format of Cd[rgb] rather than Cd[012]
Skybar replied to Spamuel91's topic in General Houdini Questions
You can also use Attribute Create SOP to edit. Set it to the same as the attribute you want to edit, un-tick "write values" and you can change the float type to color/vector etc. edit: Also it actually does matter for Houdini what type it is, sometimes. If you set it to "position", and then put down a Transform SOP and move the geo - you will notice the attribute will translate too. The same applies for "vector"/"normal" and rotations etc.- 6 replies

Houdini Terrains exports heightfield with ugly pixelated lines
Skybar replied to anicg's topic in General Houdini Questions
Try export higher than 8-bit. -
Dunno how you are generating it, but you could do something like this: wall.hipnc

Delete SOP making particles go crazy
Skybar replied to Fireandsmoke's topic in General Houdini Questions
Delete by id instead of point number. -
This could be improved upon but it works for this case (mostly, the intersecting tubes are a problem): volume_to_particle_dv.hip
-
If it works then its fine. If you do the UVs before the boolean that should work fine too.

Kinda depends doesnt it? If you know zero about any 3d application, I guess the learning curves is similar. Might even be easier in Houdini because you know what happens at all times. However if you first learn the maya way of thinking, Houdini will be harder because you already have a different mindset - and vice versa. Learning new stuff isnt the hard part, changing what you already know is.
-
It probably thinks it can skip the Cd.z because you have "Two Dimensional" turned on, so it will only "need" two dimensions even for a custom field. I dunno. If you uncheck that and limit the box manually to be 1 voxel thick it works.

Are you running it with OpenCL? That usually happens when the graphics card runs out of memory.
