Houdini Main Changelogs
 |
Houdini 18.5.372 | Revert a recent change that allowed the "-j" option in Houdini to control the maximum number of threads used by the USD library. This change broke the "-j" option for mantra. A fix that allows the "-j" option to work for both USD and Houdini libraries in both mantra and Houdini is pending. | Tue. October 20, 2020 |
| Houdini 18.5.372 | The Alembic ROP now exports additional UV attributes as indexed attributes. | Tue. October 20, 2020 | |
|
Houdini 18.5.372 | The attributes created by the Unpack USD SOP's "Non-Transforming Primvars" parameter are now marked as having no transform type, rather than both being marked as having some transform type (e.g. 'point') and also being marked non-transforming using an option that isn't visible to users. This behavior is now consistent with the attributes generated by the Rest SOP, and allows Attribute Create to be used to change the type info if necessary. | Tue. October 20, 2020 |
|
Houdini 18.5.372 | The 'usdxform' attribute created by the Unpack USD SOP is now marked as having no transform type, rather than both being marked as having a matrix transform type and also being non-transforming using an option that isn't visible to users. This behavior is now consistent with the attributes generated by the Rest SOP, and allows Attribute Create to be used to change the type info if necessary. | Tue. October 20, 2020 |
 |
Houdini 18.5.372 | Added a multiparm to the MotionClip Blend, Sequence, and Cycle SOPs so that the blending attributes can now be specified per joint. | Tue. October 20, 2020 |
|
Houdini 18.5.372 | Added a parameter to the MotionClip Blend, Sequence, and Cycle SOPs so that any point attribute can be blended. | Tue. October 20, 2020 |
|
Houdini 18.5.372 | Ensuring that the uniform attributes have their values authored only at a default time code. | Tue. October 20, 2020 |
 |
Houdini 18.5.372 | Fixed bugs with undoing exclusions of take data from the take list pane. Fixed an undo ordering issue when undoing removal of node flags from a take. |
Tue. October 20, 2020 |
 |
Houdini 18.5.372 | Fixed a LOP viewer issue where the camera transform wouldn't be properly applied to the view when loading a hip file which is looking through a camera when a heavy USD scene is cooked. | Tue. October 20, 2020 |
 |
Houdini 18.5.371 | Fixed regression introduced in 18.0.553 where child nodes of ths scene root that used hierarchical inheritance stopped importing correctly. | Mon. October 19, 2020 |
|
Houdini 18.5.371 | Added a parameter to the Enumerate SOP to specify how the piece attribute is used. One option is to separately enumerate the elements of each piece (the existing behavior), and the other option is to assign sequential ids to each entire piece. | Mon. October 19, 2020 |
 |
Houdini 18.5.371 | Added an option to the Enable Solver DOP to enable objects based on their name, id, or DOP group. This provides a simpler way to enable microsolvers for specific objects, instead of attaching subdata to the object and using the Enable Data parameter. | Mon. October 19, 2020 |
 |
Houdini 18.5.371 | Add wsgi support to the webserver. This is only initial support and there is a lot of work still to be done for production wsgi use. Non-wsgi is still production ready. | Mon. October 19, 2020 |
 |
Houdini 18.5.371 | In HQueue submit-graph-as-job, make the TOP Cook job cpus=0 to ensure that it can run alongside a job marked with a single tag. | Mon. October 19, 2020 |
|
Houdini 18.5.371 | Improved the performance of unpacking packed fragments, particularly when individual fragments have a large number of points (around 3x faster in some scenarios). Unpacking fragments with the Unpack SOP should now outperform unpacking with a compiled for-each loop. | Mon. October 19, 2020 |
 |
Houdini 18.5.371 | Increased the range of the Damping parameter on the Full Body IK SOP to make it more clear that it does not have a maximum value of 1. Increased the range of the Iterations parameter to include a more typical range of possible values. | Mon. October 19, 2020 |

October 18, 2020 |
