Pancho Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I try to open several scenes which worked fine before (presumably in 15.5) and now in 16.5 don't. Simple scenes with cloth, FEM and SOP solvers. When I open the scene I get a long list of unrecognized parameters. What annoys me most is the fact that the SOP solver (with enable solver) can set targetv, but the cloth object doesn't care the slightest. FEM solver and SOP solver are both connected to the multisolver. The points do have targetv set, but there is no force applied to the points. v is 0 on all channels? This worked before! What has changed? Since this stuff happens all the time with Houdini, are there any pages on the web which document these changes and what kind of consequences this has on the workflow? But for now: Why is targetv of no interest to the FEM solver? Cheers Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeiamyourfather Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Major releases have changes that break reverse compatibility. Especially on parts of the software being actively developed. If you need to work with scenes created in older versions the best thing to do is install that older version and work there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pancho Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Thanks, Luke. But sometimes the know how from yesterday needs to incorportated in today's scene. Point is, I need to find an alternative for the stuff I need to do. If targetv doesn't work anymore, than SESI should come up with a page and document why this is so and what workflow replaces the former one. Right now it seems I can save myself with targetP, but not knowing what's going on disables you in recreating your workflow properly.

fencer Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Still can't understand how it was working with "targetv" for you. Share an example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
