Hey guys,
I am fairly new to Houdini and as I was following the Houdini Wire and Cloth Dynamics tutorial by Andrew Lowell (in which he explains how you can simulate a tree using wires) I bumped into a deform problem. I followed the tutorial step by step but for some reason only the geometry of the tree trunk moves accordingly to the wire system. The rest of the branches seem to be following the static geo movements only. I tried finding the cause of this problem by going through the tutorial file but the same problem appears there while this was not visible in the video. Also the tutorial was made in Houdini 13 and I am using Houdini 14 (apprentice), perhaps that has something to do with it too? In the picture I included you can see how the geo gets deformed on the left, and the simulated wires on the right. I will add my hip file as well.
Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?
Many thanks in advance,
Eline
