Isn't VC9 32 bit only?

I'm not sure why the “Download Houdini” link only offers VC9 32-bit or VC11 64-bit. If you're logged in and use the Download > Daily Builds link, the actual choices are: VC9 32-bit, VC9 64-bit, VC11 64-bit.

For the next major version of Houdini, the choices will be: VC11 32-bit, or VC11 64-bit . We're really close to being able to drop the VC11 32-bit builds as well since the 32-bit builds for all non-Windows platforms have already been dropped.

Might be subject to change.

Ah thanks for the explanation. What exactly is the difference between VC11 and VC9 then?

Ah thanks for the explanation. What exactly is the difference between VC11 and VC9 then?

Microsoft individually versions all of their compilers which then get marketed under the Visual Studio umbrella. So VC9 is Visual C++ version 9, which was sold with Visual Studio 2009, while VC11 is Visual C++ version 11, which was sold with Visual Studio 2012.

The big reason why we're switching over to VC11 is because the Houdini code base has started using C++11 features, which the older compiler doesn't support.

Yes, I would recommend upgrading to VS2012.

Really thanks Stalkerx777 for this great tool.
I really like your method for path deforming.
I made similar tool with VEX , of course with some little changes and optimizing for VEX language. 8)

Cool plugin!
But the error:
Code:
(hsvg.exe:10988): Pango-WARNING **: No builtin or dynamically
loaded modules were found. Pango will not work correctly.
This probably means there was an error in the creation of:
‘E:\PROGRA~1\SIDEEF~1\HOUDIN~1.567\hsvg\etc\pango\pango.modules’
You should create this file by running pango-querymodules.
Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file
No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig
library is not correctly configured. You may need to
edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information
about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual
page and on http://fontconfig.org [fontconfig.org]

So with the shift to VC14 for H15.5, Mr Rusev's plugin is due for recompilation?

when used with a carve before the curve I get a crash if the carve reduces the curve to 0

for (GA_Size i = 0, n = prim->getVertexCount(); i < n; ++i) {
    GA_Offset vtxoff = prim->getVertexOffset(i); // If you need vertex offsets
    GA_Offset ptoff = prim->getPointOffset(i);   // If you need point offsets
    ...
}

prim->forEachPoint([put bindings here](GA_Offset ptoff){
    ...
});
