Hello guys
Where in Houdini camera can I type in the sensor size?
Say I want a 36x24mm sensor, or match an Alexa camera?
I don't get this Aperture slider, is that the diagonal of the sensor area?
thanks!

Aperture is sensor width on the Houdini camera. The height is determined by the resolution and pixel aspect ratio. To get a specific film back, enter the width of the sensor and the resolution of the film scan/sensor image and the pixel aspect ratio used. (usually 1, or 2 for scope)

Thank you!
It would've been nice to save custom cameras somehow (new to H)

You can go to the gear menu and save a preset.

There's a weird config file you can edit to change the options in the resolution menu.

Copy FBres from $HH to your houdini prefs directory and edit the copy.
