Hello !

I was wondering how one would go about getting a ghosting effect when working with animation in Houdini?
Like this.

Any idea ?
Is there any inbuilt feature in Houdini 16 that I do not know of maybe ?

I played around with the trailsop but it seems quite expensive.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi aados,

do you mean onion skinning? Or more an actual rendered effect?

If you want this for viewport previewing, turn on “Onion Skinning” on the object you want to ghost (Misc tab). The controls for the #skins and such is in the display options, Scene tab.

You may have to beware an outstanding bug with the onion skinning, which hides the current frame when trying to view “full deformation”… Is that still ongoing?

Thanks alot guys !

I am pretty new to Houdini, coming from Softimage

“Onion skinning” is what I was looking for !

Friedasparagus : Thanks for the heads-up, it seems the bug you talked about is still around, it hides the current frame if “full deformation” is on. But I`ll survive hopefully

Cheers
