bhaveshpandey Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 From the journal: Thursday, August 2, 2012 Houdini 12.1.30: Backporting of Edge group support now completed. Has anyone given it a whirl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magneto Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 What do they mean by backporting? Did it exist in previous versions? Does this mean we now have true procedural edge support? I have a feeling this is only for the Group SOP, but not propagated to other SOPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anim Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 ... Does this mean we now have true procedural edge support? ... yes, you can now store edge selection as an edge group and use in other SOPs that support edge selections like polybevel on top of that Group SOP contains a few methods to procedurally create edge groups by comparing angles, length, boundary edges, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopbin9 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 What is the syntax for edges? "e1 e2 e2" or "p0-1" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anim Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I think that edges in H12.1 are still not separate type, so it is still p0-1 (edge between point 0 and 1) or 2e3 (edge number 3 of primitive number 2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonp Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 What do they mean by backporting? Did it exist in previous versions? My guess is that means they're working on true edge support in h13. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopbin9 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I was working on some edge grouping features for xTools, but I'm happy they made some improvements for this. Maybe I don't have to do it anymore and can work on other more important stuff. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 That's the best news of the 12.1 release Hopefully it does mean better edge support in 13, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
