Houdini Main Changelogs

19.0.224

Attribute TOPs that use multiparms now have an enable/disable toggle on each multiparm entry, for example the Attribute Create, Attribute Rename and Partition by Attribute TOP. The toggle can be used to conditionally set an attribute using an expression, or more easily turn on/off an attribute entry when debugging.

Fixed the button strip parameter to allow for 2^n choices.

Mon. April 12, 2021
19.0.223

Vector fields in houdini native volume format can now be bound to shader. Field name ending in ".x", "_x", ".y", "_y", ".z" or "_z" is considered a vector component.

Mon. April 12, 2021
19.0.223

Setting HOUDINI_PDG_NODE_DEBUG to 4 now enables log messages each time a node callback is invoked during a PDG graph cook, which can be useful when debugging custom nodes or graph behavior.

Mon. April 12, 2021
19.0.223

Fixed placement of the BG image at the world origin when looking through an orthographic camera with a BG image.

Mon. April 12, 2021
19.0.223

The number of active connections, accepted connections, handled connections, request count, reading count, writing count, and waiting count are all now tracked with the server. Url handlers are also added so the server can be monitored through external services like zabbix.

Mon. April 12, 2021
19.0.223

When evaluating a parameter without an active work item, PDG nodes will now default to using the time value that was set when the TOP network began to cook. Previously parm evaluation would use frame=0 by default, however in some cases that resulted in inconsistent behavior between the evaluated value and the UI. When a parameter is evaluated against a particular work item, the work item's frame value is still always used to determine the evaluation time.

Mon. April 12, 2021
19.0.223

Fixing an issue where EDU users would install the Free Engine PlugIn and break their license setup.

Mon. April 12, 2021

Fixed various issues regarding undoing the deletion of an HoudiniAssetRoot gameObject.

Mon. April 12, 2021
19.0.223

Fixed an issue with the HOM accessor for the UV view's background image.

Mon. April 12, 2021
19.0.222

The sleep() function in VEX was off by a factor of 10. This has been fixed. Now, the sleep time is specified correctly in milliseconds (rather than centiseconds).

Sun. April 11, 2021
19.0.222

The sleep() function in VEX was off by a factor of 10. This has been fixed.

Sun. April 11, 2021
19.0.220

The parameters for SOP Verbs will respect the defaults for multiparms, so a node whose multparm starts with non-zero entries will likewise have a non-zero number of entries in the default parameter structure.

Fri. April 9, 2021
19.0.220

Generic property attributes are now applied on spline outputs.

Fri. April 9, 2021
19.0.220

Improved the display of floating point numbers in the parameter UI. The precision of displayed float values will now adjust according to the value of the float rather than always being displayed with a fixed precision of 6 decimals.

Fri. April 9, 2021
19.0.220

The GeometryViewport.frameSelected() HOM function now works in the LOP viewer.

Fri. April 9, 2021
19.0.220

Fixed a bug where enabling fake caustics can cause refraction to be counted multiple times and cause overly bright regions.

Fri. April 9, 2021
19.0.220

Added an option to the Crowd Trigger's raycast mode to use the agent's orientation to determine the ray direction rather than the agent's velocity. This can work better for stationary agents or for locomotion where the agent's velocity is in a different direction than where the agent is facing.
