Hi, thought I'd share this in this section too: I wrote an article for the german “Digital Production” magazine about my free LYNX VFX toolset. For the article I made a couple of renderings using the LYNX fabric tools. Luckily it even made the cover Here are my personal favorites, the rest of the images can be found on Artstation. You can also find the complete scene on GitHub under the Demo Files. So now anyone can design an ugly Christmas Sweater;) Looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with, enjoy!

Hello, I am creating an digital asset for a personal project that I am working on. As soon as I saved the digital asset, all the parameters are locked and I cannot change it. Can someone please tell me how to edit those parameters? I have attached a screenshot of edit parameter interface, in parameter description, you can see all of the fields are locked except for a few. Thanks for your help

I created a rather complex Digital Asset. It consticts of ~2000 nodes, and also there is ~60 instances of another asset inside this asset. I optimized it thought cleaning nodes throught performance monitor, and now It computes rather fast after loading, but LOADING takes nearly 10 seconds. It's became a real problem because in my hip file I need to use it rapidly many times. Is there any way to speed up loading of asset? And after creating every instance of this asset Houdini increases ram usage at ~500 mb, it's also a problem...

Hello, I thought that I would share a side-project I started this last month because I lost a bit of steam (no pun) and thought that it would be curious to receive some feedback. The Digisoup began as an idea to create a procedural recipe that creates and fills a bowl of soup with various ingredients. The initial to do: bowl, stock, dumplings, veg, seasoning, steam, etc. The bowl or vessel was modelled independently but used as a source object for the other ingredients. Spring onion, spices, chilli, dumplings, eggs and noodles have all been drawn within a procedural framework - I intend to do posts explaining each ingredient if anyone is interested. The stock (liquid of the soup) is primarily a shading exercise, and on that note all of the shaders are also procedural and do not utilise bitmaps or external references. The intention with that was to be able to control 'fattiness' or 'richness' of the soup we are about to enjoy. I haven't yet documented the entire process but here are some of the shots I've managed to salvage while working in progress. At some point the project began to evolve into figuring out the context around the bowl with some embedded procedural tricks - I will expand on this later! Would love to hear your thoughts! Cheers.

Hey Guys! I have a pretty newbie question about some Python and HDA interaction. So in a nutshell I'm trying to create an HDA with implemented Python script which does the following: 1. I have an Original Geo, which is object merged in my HDA. 2. I select some primitives on my original geo (or on the HDA). 3. After I selected my primitives, with a press of a button on my HDA, the selected primitives will be added to a group's pattern parameter inside my HDA. 4. And of course it would be great if this could work with a relative reference, so if I copy my HDA multiple times it'll update the groups within the correct HDA. I have this code so far: import toolutils viewer = toolutils.sceneViewer() geo = viewer.selectGeometry() s = geo.mergedSelectionString() # How can I make THIS PATH relative reference? n = hou.parm('/obj/Colorzied_Geo_Asset_1/Colorized_GEO/group1/pattern') n.set(s) I put together a pretty simple example file and the hda, which will hopefully help you guys understand what I'm trying to achieve. In case my explanation is a little confusing. selectedPrims_python_problem_v001.hip colorzied_geo_asset.hda Any help or nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! Best, Laszlo

Hi, when creating channel defaults inside digital asset I can set it as a value or hscript expression. Is it possible to set it to python expression? A way would be to create OnCreated script which will assign expression to a channel, or use some hscript for executing python command. But I am curious if there is another - better way Juraj
