Hello everyone) I try to make cliffs from yotube tutorial, but cant find how can i change noise scale along one axis in houdini 19. In previus versions whas option inside mountain node called scale. Where it is now?) I know what i can use attribute wrangle for some thing like this --------- float val = noise(@P * set(ch("scale"), 1, 1)); @P.y = val; --------- But i whant to use noise attribute noise or mountain and just scale it by vertical axis, for examle. ow can i do it?) I don't wanna use wrangler because i don't know how to control noise same simple as it can be done in attribute noise I try to find answer in google about 2 hours what i do wrong?))

Greetings all, I’m a relative noob in Houdini and am having a hard time trying to create a displaced noise on the mesh of a Houdini Labs Tree Trunk object. Though the Tree Trunk node is open for exploration, I don’t know enough to understand why the following is happening: I try to displace points on the trunk’s surface with procedural noise in an Attribute VOP, using a typical setup (Adding the N value to the P value), but the result appears to not push things outward, 1 to 1. (It looks like maybe things are being pushed according to a tiled UV? I can’t quite tell). I also tried using the Displace Along Normal VOP node, but can’t seem to get that working either. On the other hand, when I use an Attribute Noise SOP, I get the effect I am looking for! What is the big difference here? It appears that the noise here is working on the incoming P value, though when I change it to N, I get nothing. There are another 2 components to this I’d like to solve: With the Attribute Noise SOP, the noise displaces the entire mesh off of its center. This appears to be true no matter which range value preset I use, including ‘Zero Centered’. I would attribute this to the notion that only the points’ position values are being displaced according to the noise, and they’re not being added to their normal values for that center-outward displacement. Is there a way to do this using this node? Perhaps with an expression in one of the fields? As mentioned above, I tried to use a VOP for this, but was unable to achieve what I wanted - (I suppose that ideally someone can show me how to achieve what I need using the Attribute VOP in the first place). The other thing I’d like to achieve is some falloff, where parts of the tree mesh are or are not affected by the noise SOP. The only way I vaguely know of to do this is with an Attribute Transfer SOP and a color value run over P value, however, I hit the wall of shame when trying to figure out how to use those color values to drive the noise that drives the point position values. I imagine it can be done in a Wrangle or a VOP. I tried a few things that way, but coming up with zilch. Hoping someone can help a frustrated beginner! File is attached!

I'm following this tutorial by Entagma, which involves using an attribute noise set to periodic flow to create a tiling pattern. The settings he uses are shown at 5:20 in the video, and the resulting geo can be seen at 11:25. However, Houdini 18.5 no longer includes periodic flow noise. I've noticed that it is included in the mountain SOP now, but even when I match his settings exactly, my results look bizarre and inorganic: In the documentation for the mountain node, this is the image associated with Periodic Flow Noise, but I can't get mine to look anything like that. https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/nodes/sop/mountain.html (and here's the web page that includes a little description). Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong? How can I make my noise look more like that from the Entagma video or the documentation? Thanks very much in advance!
