Mantra Fur Procedure Problem

[v2n]

Hi All,

I'm trying to render some curves with the Fur Mantra procedure. It works ( no error message ) but not as expected.

I create three attributes ( furdensity, furtipwidth and furrootwidth) and save the skin with those attributes.

In the Mantra procedure, the three attributes are transfered from the skin geometry like this : -t "furdensity furtipwidth furrootwidth".

Only the furdensity works. The width keep the default setting of Mantra rendered curves.

Here is the complete Mantra Procedure : fur -s $HIP/skin.bgeo -g $HIP/guide.bgeo -t "furdensity furtipwidth furrootwidth"

and here is a repro scene : http://www.vol2nuit.fr/guillaume/houdini/Proc_Fur.rar

Any tips would help !

Thanks !

Guillaume

PS : I know Fur is updated in H9 but I use Houdini 8.2.154 with the fur proto install.

The furtipwidth and furrootwidth attributes were used in a very early version of the fur tools. Now you just use the standard rendering attribute 'width'.

Thanks a lot Wolfwood !

( I just changed the uv texture sop from "natural location" to "point texture" in order to get your expression works).

So now, the fur procedural render is fine but... motion blur isn't .

I use something like this : fur -c 0.8 -s skin.$F.bgeo -g $HIP/guide.$F.bgeo $HIP/guide.`$F+1`.bgeo -t "furdensity" -T "width"

From the Houdini 8.1 fur help "-c" is the correct syntax for the shutter speed. Is it the same for Houdini 8.2 ?

Thanks

fur -c 0.8 -s skin.$F.bgeo -g $HIP/guide.$F.bgeo -g $HIP/guide.`$F+1`.bgeo -t "furdensity" -T "width"

Search the SESI forums for the Fur.otl, its a front end for building these strings for you. (Assuming you are using Houdini 8)
