How to create a basic SHOP?

[alonzo]

Hi all,

I'm new to Houdini. Playing a little bit with it. Its fun, and more challenging then other 3d package.

But now to my question:

Is there a tutorial how to create a basic SOP, because I would like to render a clay-wireframe in Houdini.

I found the polywire node, but this is not the way, I'm looking for (this is like duplicate mesh, turn to wire, like in blender).

It would be appreciate, if somebody could help me please

Thx in advance

You can use wireframe node.

By the way, the ambient occlusion is really really fast.

wow thanks.. that helped me a lot, because now I know what I did wrong

but one question to your file: if I change the Wirecolor to Black, it disappears

That file only show a method, you need to change the logic for your scene.

A good exercise is to do that change.

I attach a posible solution, but before try it yourself.

A perfect solution would be to add a parameter and a network working for any color.

Try it !

I've also just added a video tutorial to the side effects site which would show an alternate method one could use do this. http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com...&Itemid=132
