thrasherstudios77 Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Hey I have been trying to save my i3d files to my D Drive and everytime I do i get an error on the 3d texture output node, but it works fine when saved to my C Drive, what gives. Do i need to set a global variable for Houdini to work with the D drive or something like that? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrasherstudios77 Posted April 25, 2003 Author Share Posted April 25, 2003 one more thing i forgot even if i am able render out a i3d texture file ( to the C drive), when i try to visualize it using an isosurface SOP i get nothing, no surface at all, do you know what might be happening here? BTW i am doing the contrail tutorial from Techimage, might it be that there is not enough detail in the particles for the isosurface to use to create some geometry?

cs00bren Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 the contrail tutorial i remember it well. you will love the resalts when you get it to work. if i remember correctly i had trouble visualising the i3d in the iso. but in the end it worked are you using 5 or 6!?!?! i don't think it matters how meny particles there are if you look in the POP setion as long as you can see that there are 10- 20 around the same area then it should produce good results. i think you can render with out the iso but i can remember. are you just doing the standard rocket or are you using your something else. this is what i did with the smoke: bren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrasherstudios77 Posted May 2, 2003 Author Share Posted May 2, 2003 bren- thank you for the reply. The smoke looks good can't wait to get it working. I was refering to i3d in general, i constantly have problems geting my i3d files to save to the D drive correctly and also with visualizing the i3d texture with iso-surfaces, anyone have an idea why these two things are cause problems. Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danteA Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 What specific problems? Do you have a .hipnc file? I did something with this a while ago which I posted on 3D Buzz. See the sem2.hipnc link at http://sv1.3dbuzz.com/vbforum/showthread.p...&threadid=21729 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
