rdg Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hi , i'm trying to make my first asset i have 1 sop 1 dop network in scene which connected each other, is that possible to make it an asset? i tried to collapse sop node then make it digital asset, it gives me an connection error because of the individual dop network how can i handle this? both networks should be 1 asset? create a new subnet on /obj and place both nodes inside. [resolve dependencies issues] create the asset from this node. hope this helps. Georg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hi , At the obj level just select the 2 nodes , and " shift c " to create the otl . Remember to check your paths ! rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wreath Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the replies, making all nodes one subnet works but i need some deeper help to handle it; firstly you can download the scene from here : www.yeatfx.com/dynawave.rar I'm trying to make an asset of this shockwave, parameters can be test with blue dynamic shockwave null I need an asset like; user can choose 1 surface object for shockwave to track and rbd objects to collide,i can't figure out how to handle thanks btw if scene sim not works try to reopen scene i dunno why it's happening.

michael Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I can't upload to the forum - stupid mozilla... but check your hotmail account... all I did was Shift+c on the shockwave and autoDop nodes RMB create digital asset then dragged the parameter folders from the "From Node" section to the parameter area... should work ok...didn't test it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hi , I have had a look at your network quickly. Its a bit confusing and the shock wave does not effect your boxes. My suggestion would be to use a NULL sop in the geometry nodes and use them to define where your SOPS leave and go into DOPS and then where they pull the DOP sim back into SOPS. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wreath Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 Hi Rob, like i said if it's not work try reopen scene, here some tests i'v done http://www.yeatfx.com/dynawave.mov but seems its never gonna be an asset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) I must admit I have found it difficult to get over that hill with otls as the docs are pretty sparse . I do not fully know everything about them but I know enough to build my own now and other people seem to be able to use them. All the information I have on them has come from , the book houdini on the spot , the above PDF and http://www.vizyacky.com/ . He has an otl lesson for sale http://vizyquick.vizyacky.com/vizyquick_04...rchase_Main.php which is very good rob Edited April 18, 2008 by rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
