kgoossens Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Hi everybody, is it possible to check with an expression if an object is manipulated on the 3d window. For example: If I'm adjusting a 3d curve (pulling its controller points)I should somehow be able to receive the state in an underlying node to display a simplified of the operation I'm doing on the curve. From the moment I stop adjusting the 3d curve, the node will execute the complex version. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgoossens Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) No, there exists no such expression. Hi Edward, Thanks, is there a way to get around this? I'm not familiar enough yet with hscript or python. Or do you have to use the hdk? Cheers Edited December 17, 2009 by kgoossens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Why not just use the "On Mouse Up" cook mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgoossens Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Why not just use the "On Mouse Up" cook mode? I'm creating a tool with a simple preview that let's you accurately place and view in an interactive way. on mouse up does not give me this interactivity. If placed you can switch it to the complex version which takes much more time to calculate. I was hoping there was a way to do this automatically, that from the moment Houdini is in idle mode it would do the complex calculation. Not a serious issue, but it could make the tool a bit more intelligent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
