This is probably a dumb question but I'm trying to follow a course to learn Houdini and I'm stuck. I can't get an attribute with Bind node in Attribvop, the attribute I am trying to get is a vertex attribute, I can get the P attr though which is a point attribute. Geometry is imported alembic with vertex maps but it doesn't matter I guess And I have one more question. Seems like the Bind Export node creates points attributes, but in the video I'm trying to follow it creates vertex attributes. So am I missing something, Is it just a difference in houdini versions? Or can you choose what attribute to create? tutor-cubes.hip

Hello, I have a sim set up using flip objects with geo copied to points. I want to be able to delete 5% of my points every frame after a specific frame, so there is a gradual deletion. I referenced this post which triggers from frame 1. https://forums.odforce.net/topic/29024-delete-5-of-points-every-frame/ Can I achieve that same setup, but trigger it from a specific frame number, rather than from frame 1? I'm a beginner and still getting my head around vex. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hello, Simple question I suppose. I have this Cd attribute coming from a measure SOP. But I can't find the way to combine him with a noise VOP. What am I doing wrong ? Thanks combine-cd-attribute.hip

Hi all, Another Noob question here: I'd like create a setup that takes my object A (in this case, a Line SOP) and constrains its pivot position and vector angle to the pos and N of a given point on object B (in this case a mesh object). I'd like to include in the setup, an integer slider that lets me choose the point number. I have to imagine this is a fairly simple thing to do and have been searching for the right tutorial but haven't found it yet. Can anyone out there share a tutorial link, or maybe a VEX snippet? BTW, I'd welcome a VOP solution just as well. Preemptive thanks to any responders! NpF

Hello all, I have a simple question after trying hard and also looking into the web and SFX help cards with no success... I have a simple quad mesh with unshared edges, then I connect that to a rest sop, pipe that into a bend sop for deformation and connect that to an attribute vop where I use an anti-alias noise to create displacement on the model. After the part is bent and with displacement applied, I would like to have it back to its original shape before the bend but keeping the displacement intact. I'm doing that as a way to have more control over the noise transformation. Tried using a wrangle sop with @P = @rest; but "duh" enough.... the part comes back to the rest position and the displacement is gone. If I try that same procedure with Cd instead of displacement, it works. Does anyone knows how to get the mesh back to its original shape after the deformation and displacement were applied to it? @mestela mentioned this in his amazing cgwiki page, something like this: Measure deformation Can measure the distance between @P and rest with a wrangle like @d = distance(@P, @rest); And use that to colour the surface, or enable a displacement map to drive wrinkles, or push points along their normal to do hacky squash and stretch. However, I don't have a clue on how to keep the displacement after the deformation and back to its original shape. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Odforcers, does anyone know how to wire the 'fake caustics' VOP inside mat builder? (apart from using the principled shader, tx)

i am working on the firework effect. i emitted some particle by pop locate and they replicate some particles when dead. Each original particle has orginal id and the id is inherited to replicated particles. What i want to do is assign the normal vector of Geometry( sphere) to the velocity of replicated particles and adjust them along the each original id. so i decided to iterate over original id with For loop inside popnet. I made array list of original id and each id inside the array is taken by Find attribute value count and again loop over with the count of point number that has each id on the array list. The point number that has certain id is bringing into the list called "plis" but the list is updating and deleting,adding new pointnumber. It is not accumulating. how can i fix this ? - my array isn't accumulating but adding one point number and updating the others repeatedly. and Do i complicate the process to make little bit simple effect ?

does anyone know how the add primitive workflow is inside the attribueVOP?

as you can see in image below , I want make the i1 (index) incremenal with VOP for loop . how's the workflow , please show me with another simple sample.

Hi have been trying to flat bottom or top a sphere with min max bounds in vops with a ramp and a fit. Its not working as want it to. I'm not being able to interpret to Houdini how to interpolate between top bulge and a bottom bulge. I aim to execute this in a procedural way. I need help!

How to add color gradient through velocity plus collision to influence color velocity? to influence the color such as this one here: https://vimeo.com/59024762 how did he do, but he used xsi softimage. if possible to make a Houdini? -
How to add noise to animated curveu attribute?
Apurba Haldar posted a topic in General Houdini Questions
Hi, I'm trying to add noise to this curve falloff animation. Currently it's just going straight to the bottom. I want to add a little bit of noise to it. I have used resample node to generate curveu attribute. Can anyone please help me? I've attached the scene file. curveu_noise.hip -
In the file I try to create the custom velocity with noise over time using normals. At first I did it with AttributeNoise, things go smoothly. Then I try to recreate it with Vop node, I can't have the normal distribute equally in all the direction like how I did with AttrNoise. Plus it move very fast over time, how do I reduce the movement of it. Also, can anyone show me how to do it in vex too. I add @Frame in vex, everything move in super speed. Thanks in advance. customVelocity.hip

Hello, I have a few questions about vop nodes in mat context. I have no trouble with vops in sop, but things seem to fall apart in /mat (FYI I am working inside a material builder). 1. Is it possible to access @ptnum and @primnum? It doesn't seem to work 2. Some binds just don't seem to work. If I do the same bind in /obj vop context, it works perfectly, but binding it in /mat material builder doesn't. Why would it not work in the /mat context when the nodes are the same? 3. If the vop asks for a file and I use op: to get data from a node in /obj, it does not work and says error finding geometry. But if I do the same thing in /obj in a vop network, it works perfectly fine 4. In /obj in a vopnetwork, you can access the input from the geometry vop global parameter node. If the vop node asks for a file, you can wire it into opinput 1. How do you do that in /mat? What if I want to access the geometry to which the shader is applied? It's asking for a file, but I just want to use the geometry to which that shader is applied. Thanks

Hello, So you know the import point attribute in vops? It asks for a file, right? Well I give it a file in my first photo and it prints no data and the color comes out black. That makes no sense at all. In the second photo I loaded that very same file using a file sop and plugged it into the second input of the vopnet, but in the import point attribute I used "Second input" instead of "file" and it works. Why is that? It's literally looking to the same file. Thanks in advance.

Hello! I'm starting a twitch dot television channel and will be streaming Houdini training content. I've worked at several large VFX and advertising studios as well as taught Houdini classes at Academy of Art university. I'm hoping I can reach a larger audience through Twitch as well as the idea that people viewing the stream can participate by asking questions and providing feedback in real time. This is my channel: https://www.twitch.tv/johnkunz My first stream will be starting on Sunday (Jan 26th) @ 1pm PST. If you follow my channel (it's free ), you'll get an email notification whenever I start a stream. I'll be going over this project I recently finished https://www.behance.net/gallery/90705071/Geometric-Landscapes showing how I built things (VOPs, packed prims, Redshift render) and why I set things up the way I did. Some of the images I made are shown below. Please come by this Sunday with any questions or ideas you might have!
