Houdini Main Changelogs
 |
Houdini 18.0.465 | The Prune LOP now automatically authors time sampled visibility information if it needs to (because the primitives on the incoming stage have time sampled or time varying visibility data already). Also added a new Prune parameter that can be easily animated to generate per-frame time samples for the visibility of primitives or instances. | Tue. May 12, 2020 |
 |
Houdini 18.0.465 | Fixed an issue with custom cache handlers not being able to eval parms against the work item passed into the handler. | Tue. May 12, 2020 |
 |
Houdini 18.0.465 | The Connect Adjacent Pieces SOP, when in Adjacent Pieces from Points mode and both a point and primitive 'name' attribute exist, will now prefer to use the point name attribute instead of overwriting it with the promoted prim attribute. | Tue. May 12, 2020 |
 |
Houdini 18.0.464 | Previously, some OSX users might encounter the SSL error in hkey, sesictrl and etc, because their SSL certificates in /etc/ssl/cert.pem were expired. Fixed this issue by using the SSL certifactes in OSX's Keychain, so they no longer need to manually update /etc/ssl/cert.pem files. | Mon. May 11, 2020 |
 |
Houdini 18.0.464 | Fixed an occasional hang when canceling a TOP cook immediately after starting it, or when canceling a cook with work items running Python code in-process. | Mon. May 11, 2020 |
 |
Houdini 18.0.464 | Fix HDA parameter promotion for parameters within multiparms which had names like "myparm#" but also used numeric suffixes that could result in channel tokens like "myparm#1" and "myparm#2". In particular, the Agent Clip Properties SOP's Loop Range parameter inside the Clips multiparm can now be successfully promoted. | Mon. May 11, 2020 |
 |
Houdini 18.0.464 | The OP_DataMicroNode object has a new data member for tracking context options that were used but did not exist during a cook. This will likely require recompiling any custom HDK nodes. | Mon. May 11, 2020 |
 |
Houdini 18.0.464 | Fixed some bugs with changing context options not properly updating cook results if the context option was used by a node connected to the multi- input of a Reference or Sublayer LOP. Also added better, more visible tracking of the use of context options that don't exist. Fixed a bug that could cause errors or warnings generated by a Switch LOP to instead show up on the node that is an input to the Switch LOP. | Mon. May 11, 2020 |
|
Houdini 18.0.463 | The ROP Fetch TOP node will now write more detailed information about the ROP node to its output log for debugging purposes. The log will always include the full ROP node path, operator type and library path if the ROP is defined in a custom asset. | Sun. May 10, 2020 |
 |
Houdini 18.0.462 | Fixed potential crash in karma with nested instancing when a child instancer has no instance. | Sat. May 9, 2020 |
|
Houdini 18.0.461 | Added a 'command prefix' parm to usdrender TOP. This allows a wrapper script to be specified for executing the husk command. | Fri. May 8, 2020 |
|
Houdini 18.0.461 | Because Type Info still affects creation of float arrays in Attribute Create SOP, it no longer is hidden when set to float arrays. | Fri. May 8, 2020 |
|
Houdini 18.0.461 | Add new PDG_Scheduler callback virtual "applicationBin". This is used to query the path to applications of note as identified by a name argument. It is a replacement for the convention of pythonBin and hythonBin in python based schedulers. Removed hythonBin and pythonBin from PyScheduler and refactored our schedulers to implement applicationBin for the names 'python' and 'hython'. Custom schedulers should implement this new callback as it will become mandatory in the future. |
