Hello,

I'm really enjoying Houdini. Vellum makes a big difference on my diddly little machine - cloths and grains are good but I dont understand how to use Vellum hair yet.

When I try using the Edgefracture Visualiser, a dialog box pops up saying that the “Visualiser does not have parm ‘attrib’ ”

Taking a look at the python code (in soputils.py) shown as causing the error, it might be because of this line in findVisualiser:

if viz.evalParmAsString('attrib') == attrib

To my C/C++ eyes that looks as if it's passing the string “attrib” into the function and not the actual contents of the attrib parameter variable.

EDIT: Removing the single quotes around the ‘attrib’ changes the error message from not having parm ‘attrib’ to not having parm ‘piece’ .


Is this a bug or am I doing something daft in setting up the cloth? (I'm following what works in the Entagma cloth video)

Thanks
