hello

I'm new to Houdini and the latest version has been changed in so many parts.
I need to understand how to use new sop solver v2 in H 14 but I can't find a tutorial about it.
unfortunate the example files like DentingWithPops uses old sop solver dop and I can't get much out of it.

here : https://vimeo.com/6660287 [vimeo.com]
is a good tutorials about sop solver but the sop solver that he uses is old version (which makes it kinda difficult to me to understand) :
the related file:
https://sites.google.com/site/pqhoudinitutorial/home/houdiniprojectfiles/SOP_Solver_Houdini_10.zip?attredirects=0&d=1 [sites.google.com]
but new sop solver just accepts data ( pink inputs not grey one) and inside of it there are 4 nodes instead of two.. and gives me error ( dash lines) and It says type mismatch.

how is it possible to convert it to H 14?

thank you very much

it was changed this way to be more compatible with POP workflow, so now you can chain SOP solvers together with other POP nodes

so to apply SOP Solver::2.0 just add multiple solver, connect your object to grey input and SOP solver to purple one

if you already have some solver that accepts other solvers to be plugged in (like POP Solver, Pyro, …), just plug SOP Solver to them directly
