Dennis Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 (edited) Hi there, this is my first post in this forum, so I first want to say hello to everyone and introduce myself. I'm Dennis, a 24 years old student from Germany and just started working on my Bachelor thesis. I plan to use Houdini and Mantra extensively for my final project and I'm sure that I will have lots of questions for you in the following months. I am not that familiar with Houdini yet, but I want to use this project to learn as much as I can. The first question is probably quite simple for you, but I searched for almost 2 days and couldn't find a good resource that could help me with my problem. A lot of people suggest using Cutter to write shaders. My problem is, that I can't get it to work. When I try to compile my shader I get the message: __________ [3] 6.41:19PM __________ COMPILATION VEX: But nothing happens. I don't get an OTL or something else. Maybe I did something wrong while configuring cutter. Hopefully someone can help me with this. I would also like to know if it's possible to use Cutter as the external editor for Houdini, so that I can jump out of Houdini and right inside of Cutter. I am using Cutter and Houdini on a MAC btw. Thanks in advance, Dennis Edited March 15, 2009 by Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 this was the only thing I could find: http://www.fundza.com/houdini/basics/houdini_vex.html other than a bunch of links to this: Houdini Corkscrew and Foil Cutter HTH and welcome to od[force]!

Dennis Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 Thanks for the fast reply. Unfortunately the information on the fundza page couldn't solve my problem. Maybe someone here who already runs Cutter and Houdini on a Mac to create VEX shaders? Greetings, Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) OK, I knew it was just me doing something wrong in the configuration. I pointed Cutter to my Houdini.app inside the Applications folder instead of the bin folder inside of /Library/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/9.5.379/Resources/bin where the vcc compiler is located. Thank you nevertheless. Dennis Edited March 16, 2009 by Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
