RTHMan Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 How can I create a primitive in Houdini? This is a cylinder in Maya and I want to create a primitive just like that with parameters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konstantin magnus Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Hi Robert, it's the same in Houdini. Just take a tube, set the first radius and the height to 0 and append a fuse node. disc.hipnc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTHMan Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 I actually need a quad-based primitive. Can that also be created with a tube or the Labs Disc Generator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicvvsh Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Yes, it can but you should use extra nodes with them. prim.hipnc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konstantin magnus Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Or simply extrude an 8-sided disc inwards and clip it twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTHMan Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 Can I allow my primitive to have only certain parameters because I want to create a primitive for scales? 08_RepTile_Scale_Test_01_InitialTest.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
