help compiling for H11.0.547 - HOT release 1.0rc9

[jumper]

Hey,

I would appeciate some help! I am getting errors with the example file vop_displace.hip .I ran through the instructions here ...

http://anusf.anu.edu.au/~drw900/houdini/ocean/docs/#example-files

I compiled the toolkit from source - (I am using unix 64 centos 5.5).

I can load the sop_simple.hip file ok and that works, but the vop_displace.hip gives errors on opening...

Warning: Skipping unrecognized parameter "approx_height".

Skipping unrecognized parameter "ocean_size".

Skipping unrecognized parameter "time".

Skipping unrecognized parameter "gridres".

etc etc

[/shop/plastic+_plus_ocean_displace/displace11]

If I try to render vop_displace.hip - I get the following in the console

Unknown operator type: ���/ide.svg

I compilied SOP_Star.C with

hcustom SOP_Star.C

with no problem, and I can load the star sop so I am slightly confused why I am getting the errors for that too(but only with the vop_displace.hip file)

When I open the scene vop_displace.hip - grid resolution (on the displacement shader) is set to 0 and the grid won't render ... I can then set it to 10 and it renders fine!

If I then save the scene and then reopen it... I get the same errors and gridres is set to 0 again...

Any help would be much appreciated! ( I did have a quick look through this forum too!)

Cheers!

This is a new one to me, particularly the errors coming from SOP_Star. It smells of some sort of version skew, could you have mixed up Houdini versions ? Out of interest can you load vopsop_foamparts.hip ?

I can create a star sop in a fresh houdini and render it with no errors...

vopsop_foamparts.hip and all the other examples files open fine (only complaining about the light parameters - which I guess have changed with houdini 11)

So vopsop_foamparts.hip and all the other examples seem fine.

I did manage to stop the displacement shader zeroing out my values in the parameters by going to the vex context and right clicking->compile vex code to shop type ... then giving that a new operator name.

I replaced displace11 in the shader with my new compiled shader - This newly compiled shader keeps its parameters (between houdini sessions) so that is great!

I also ended up remaking the geometry(the nurbs grid) in a new node, copyng that and the shader into a new hip file and rendering that!

Bingo no error messages! So I think this is working ... see rendered image and settings.

Th only slight problem is I can't right click on my compiled shader and edit the vop network( I could do this with the original example file) - it would be great if I could do that with the new scene.

Thanks for the help!
