 |
Houdini 18.0.526 | The presence of empty VDBs was preventing successive primitives from computing their bounding boxes, resulting in particular in invalid results in the MMB menu. | Thu. July 16, 2020 |
 |
Houdini 18.0.525 | Fixes issue where the parsepeakuserlog.py script was not being included in Houdini builds. | Wed. July 15, 2020 |
|
Houdini 18.0.525 | Fixed an issue with the Geometry Import TOP node not correctly expanding PDG tokens in @pdg_input and @pdg_output | Wed. July 15, 2020 |
 |
Houdini 18.0.525 | Added 3 new methods: * HAPI_MergeHIPFile |
Wed. July 15, 2020 |
|
Houdini 18.0.524 | Fixed an issue with pdg HScript functions only returning the values for the first batch frame in a ROP Fetch batch with per-frame attriubtes. | Tue. July 14, 2020 |
 |
Houdini 18.0.524 | Unity plugin: Added new Load HDA From Memory menu function so that HDAs can be loaded when using a remote HARS server. Fixed log text in light theme for SessionSync panel. | Tue. July 14, 2020 |
 |
Houdini 18.0.524 | Constrained Vellum Grains with varying mass will behave properly with mass shock enabled (which is enabled by default) Previously it would gain energy and chunks would go flying. | Tue. July 14, 2020 |
|
Houdini 18.0.524 | Fixed Time Dependencies Inherritance when inputs are connected to multi output subnets. | Tue. July 14, 2020 |
|
Houdini 18.0.524 | Adds xlsx line charts to the peak usage exporter. | Mon. July 13, 2020 |
 |
Houdini 18.0.524 | Fixed a potential hang when rendering agent primitives in Mantra. | Mon. July 13, 2020 |
 |
Houdini 18.0.524 | SOP Import now supports importing 16-bit and 64-bit float attributes where the type info is point, vector, color, normal, or quaternion. Previously, these were always imported as 32-bit attributes. | Mon. July 13, 2020 |
|
Houdini 18.0.524 | Adds support for XLSX export type in the peak usage log exporter. XLSX export type requires the xlsxwriter python module prior to use. The exporter now supports csv, mysql, xlsx. | Mon. July 13, 2020 |
|
Houdini 18.0.524 | Fixed a bug where uniform volume inside/outside check would sometimes fail and produce visual artifacts when there are lots of coincident hits, such as a dense pointcloud mesh. | Fri. July 10, 2020 |
|
Houdini 18.0.524 | Fixed a bug in the Unpack USD SOP where curve widths were not converted from a diameter to a radius for the pscale attrib, which led to the widths being doubled when imported back to LOPs. This conversion was already being done correctly for Points prims. | Fri. July 10, 2020 |
|
Houdini 18.0.524 | Added a Maximum Run Time job parm to HQueue scheduler TOP. This causes the job to be cancelled if the time is exceeded. Retries do not apply in this case. | Fri. July 10, 2020 |
|
Houdini 18.0.524 | Fixed issues where Unpack USD's Transfer Attributes option could zero out attributes that didn't exist on the input geometry. The P attribute is now skipped when transferring, matching the Unpack SOP's behaviour. | Fri. July 10, 2020 |
|
Houdini 18.0.524 | Performance improvements to the peak usage logger were made. The parser is also now shipped with Houdini. | Fri. July 10, 2020 |
 |
Houdini 18.0.523 | Removed the "Connection Timeout" parameter from HDA Processor. | Thu. July 9, 2020 |
|
Houdini 18.0.523 | Although the main purpose of this change has been to address issues with enforcement of recitification and alignment constraints, the modifications to UV Flatten 3.0 slightly modifies shape of islands even when no constraints are used. In cases where the SOP generates its own layout, i.e. unless the node is instructed to use existing layout or the input has been pinned, this could mean completely different arrangement of islands even when individual islands have been modified only slightly. | Thu. July 9, 2020 |
|
Houdini 18.0.523 | This change modifies and fixes a number of issues in UV Flatten: * The SCP flattening algorithm is partly modified using a complex number formulation of it which provides sounder calculations and justifications than those in the original paper. The results of unconstrained flattening are expected to be slightly different and likely to have lower distortion. Since ABF also uses SCP underneath, the changes to SCP also affect ABF. * A number of issues with constraint co-dependencies have been addressed. These mainly involved alignment constraints as well as rectangularization constraints that depend on alignment constraints. These are now handled more gracefully. Also the interferences between these constraints and pins/straightening constraints are substantially overhauled. * Straightening constraints in ABF are improved and several mesh degeneracies that used to causse ABF flattening to fail are now handled gracefully. |
