Riyaaz Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hey, i am not able to see light blocker on view-port and not able to translate it as well. While working in MAYA with Arnold when i pick a light Blocker in light, it shows a "box-locator" on view-port to manipulate it, is it not the same in Houdini? Can you guys please show me how can i work with it or am i doing anything wrong? Thanks, Sumit. ArnoldLightBlockerTest.hip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mangi Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) Hi Sumit, about your question? "see light blocker on view-port and not able to translate it as well" Translate: inside the Arnold vopnet https://docs.arnoldrenderer.com/display/A5AFHUG/Light+Blocker Edited March 5, 2019 by mangi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riyaaz Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 Yes, that cool but i will have to render my scene every time for this? what if i have a bigger set? So, is there any way we can get a locator for it on viewport to see were the Blocker is really present? Thanks for showing me the translations, i am new in Houdini so i was not able to find it.

mangi Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hi, It`s kind of late here in Madrid 1.00 am. I just did a little test to see if you can use an object in the viewport that would be able to move the LIGHTBlocker MAtrix values by using copy relative referances. Well it actuall did, You can then make the object in the view port Not renderable in the Arnold Properties, etc... Like I said it is late now so I can not make a full example, But hay, the idea is this... Good Night Mangi ArnoldLightBlockerTest_LOCATOR.hip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riyaaz Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Hey, thanks Mangi for putting you time in it, it is working the way the way you showed, Although it was hard to find the input for values in Blocker but i found scale and translation inputs but still can't figure which once are for rotation. Thanks Again, Sumit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
