  5. Hello everyone, I have just published a new shot on my Vimeo channel! In this episode I tried to explore the creation of CG environments and new techniques such as matte painting and 3D projection. It is based on a course taught by Emilis Baltrusaitis available on Yiihuu.cc. Houdini was mainly used here for details assets and atmospheric. Feel free to subscribe to my Vimeo channel if you liked it! Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!
  6. Hello, I was wondering if anyone has dabbled with building a custom environment for Python development in Houdini. My goal is to simulate the hython shell in visual studio code and run my script with corresponding feedback in a Houdini session. The SideFx documentation on Command-Line Scripting is a great start. I understand bash scripting and setting $PATH variables but with that said I am a noob for creating this kind of interwoven setup and could use some guidance.
  7. Hi This is my First Complete Project in Houdini. Render Time: 7.30 Hr in RTX 2060 Supper and Core i7 pc Nature environment - Houdini 17.5 & Redshift Final_1.mp4
  8. Hey all, I'm trying to set the environment variable HOUDINI_USER_PREF_DIR - to a specific folder. I have other environment variables working perfectly, but I cannot get this one to work regardless of whether I use a windows environment variable or place this inside the Houdini.env, Everytime I open Houdini and check the shell using hconfig, it says my temp directory is set to the default directory, does anyone have any ideas? My only guess is this is being set elsewhere and their fore overriding my manually created env varaibles. (Ive checked spelling etc. and this is what my windows env variable looks like; name = ‘HOUDINI_USER_PREF_DIR’, value = ‘D:\Houdiniprefs’ ) Thanks Chris.
  9. Good day ladies and gentlemen, This student project is a Houdini tool aimed at generating game-ready rooms using predefined asset libraries, developed by myself and Mihnea Stoica, over the course of five months, at Breda University of Applied Sciences. We developed this tool, as part of an outsource group, for a student game project, called Captain Starshot, developed by Double Door Games. We wanted to see how flexible and adaptable the tool was with different asset libraries, therefore, by courtesy of team Morbid, a student game team at Breda University of Applied Sciences, in one week we were able to make a new test case, where the results of the generated rooms looked very promising. All kind of feedback and suggestions are welcome ----------------- Developers: · Gonzalo A.

  12. Hello all, So ive been customing the Houdini env variables within the Houdini docs folder. All working correctly with my job and hip file paths set as I wish. I was wondering is it possible to reference a system environment variable within the Houdini env variables script? (So set a environment variable called HOME to a certain path in the systems env variables) (Then call HOME within the Houdini env variables to set JOB or whatever). Any guidance or help appreciated as always Thanks C.
  13. I've always been fascinated by procedural set modeling, so I figured I'd try my hand at modeling some tropical marine life in Houdini. I'll be posting my progress here! I have started hashing out a few basic types of coral, anemone, etc. Hoping to eventually get this all into a large scene. Anemone motion test: I apologize, but I cannot currently share hip files of these scenes since they may be used in a contract.

  16. Let me start by saying that I am not a smart man... (and thus shouldn't be using Houdini for a living but hey, here I am). I'm trying to render a latlong image from camera for re-use as an HDR -what beyond setting the projection to panoramic is required? Is there any relationship to focal length or is it ignored with a polar render?
  17. Hi, we're looking into hqueue and noticed that hqueue clients don't inherit the environment or the otl paths. i.e. otls stored on ~/houdini14.0/otl are not made available to the client. (I'm having a look at the hqueue docs but can't find anything regarding this. Also manually adding the otl_scan_path variable in the hqueue rop and submitting a job doesn't seem to pass the variable to the client on the farm.) Is there a way to configure hqueue so that clients would launch a specific wrapper? or simply inherit the current environment including otl_scan_path? Thanks for your help L

    Help with CloudFX

    Hi guys, I am currently trying to do a cloudscape with Houdini's CloudFX and was hoping that you guys can give me some advice. I am trying to form clouds like this reference image But using following the cloudfx tutorials only gives me spherical clouds as the image below: Here is some hero cloud stillframe renders: So, my question is how do I go about doing those elongated shape clouds? Do I need to model out a similar shape and copy to a template or is playing with the cloud node settings enough. Thanks!
  21. Over the course of my graduation project I looked into how a procedural system could be established that would generate a unique deathmatch map that would require as little need of user input as possible. I researched the structural elements of classic deathmatch maps and applied these to construct organic environments. The procedure goes through several steps to establish rooms and paths. Once all rooms and paths have been established a volumetric approach is used to create the mesh. The uv mapping and and polygonal optimization are also completely automized allowing the user to generate a unique map by only pressing a button. Next to having a tool that generates maps without the need for user input, several features for user control were implemented, this does require some knowledge of how Houdini works. The user can manually adjust paths (adding removing etc.) and sculpt additional cover objects. Once exported the map can be imported directly into UDK and be played against bots.
  22. Greetings How to edit code of environment light? I guess gi_light shader is core of env light [from shelf menu], am I right? Still, environment light has more options than gi_light and seems to behave more accurate. I wanted to see if there's easy way to get angular or cubic projection of environment map. Right now in environment light [and gi_light] there's only sphere projection which is by default. I know there's isixpack utility, but I am not looking for such methods . I was looking for answer for about month, so: geometry light: too noisy, too slow constant shader: too noisy, 0 control about source samples Any tips&tricks?
