Christoph_H Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 hi, have you tips for a vex beginner? This is a node configuration of a cabinet generator. it has a fixed number of drawers. I could not find a solution for any number of drawers with the nodes. I also find my configuration cumbersome. That's why I want to do it with vex. But unfortunately I failed with my first attempts. Important is to use different modelled detailed meshes as drawers for this generator. Maybe you have an idea. thanks. forum_generator.hiplc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlatinumFishy Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) Are you wanting the cabinet to be always filled but the height variable? Do you need to be able to set the width of every drawer? Do you need to account for empty space as well or are all of these things just a way to fix the model? Also do you have any experience with vex (or coding) at all? Edited April 5, 2018 by PlatinumFishy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christoph_H Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 Width, height and depth should be variable. The cabinet must not always be filled. The drawer width only has to scale with the cabinet. Hiding the drawers individually is generally interesting. Vex is my first language. I have already looked at some basic things, but I still need many examples, inspirations and techniques. But I also have a look at some things on cgwiki.

PlatinumFishy Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) Alright sorry for the wait I ran into a little problem that I had to fix. This file has a bunch of notes and if you have more questions (or anyone has any constructive criticism on it) I’ll be checking in on the thread. cabinet.hiplc Edited April 7, 2018 by PlatinumFishy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christoph_H Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 Thank you again for taking the time for the construction and the detailed documentation. The construction is really nice. I will buy the procedural tutorial series from anastasia opara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlatinumFishy Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 No need to buy her lake house videos just yet! Just watch the free talk she does on vimeo, it is a good way to understand how you should approach most problems in houdini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
