Houdini Main Changelogs

Houdini 17.0.376 * Replaced the Tie flag for acceleration handles with an editor setting called Keep Acceleration Ratio and mapped to the "R" volatile key. By default, acceleration handles don't affect the acceleration from the other end of the key. Press and hold R while editing an acceleration handle to keep the same acceleration ratio. * Added a new editor setting to make the value handles able to move on both the value and the time axis. It is a volatile key mapped to "W". * Exposed the Snap Moved Keys to Nearest Frame setting as a volatile key mapped to "E". * Added toolbar toggle buttons for these 3 modes. * Holding down Ctrl while interacting no longer unselect the selected handles. Ctrl-LMB drag on acceleration, value and slope handles now works properly. Fri. October 19, 2018
