In my scene there is a DOPnet where I merged a fluidobject with a staticobject (source relationship). The staticobject's SOP path is set to some other SOP. This is the very same SOP I set as SDF SOP path with the fluid emitter.

My goal is to have this SOP as an object that's constantly emitting some fluid.

If I connect those nodes, loads of warnings appear on the staticobject, like the following:

Bad node reference: “” in parameter /obj/dopnet1/staticobject1/objpos1/motion/t1.

Ignoring the warnings is and pressing “play” just kills the object referenced in the staticobject's SOP path.

I really cannot find what's causing the troubles. If someone was so kind and had a look on what's wrong with my scene, this was very kind and generous.

Same problem here.

Any tips?

Same here. This is from the cmivfx fluidfx tutorial right? Might it be because the instructor used Houdini ~9.0?

This is the cause, I think. But do you guys know how to acheive the desired effect in H10?

I found this problem too, the solution is to place the static object for your source AFTER the fluid solver object, I do not know why, but it works for me!!

Good idea, but how am I supposed to do that?

The static object has got no input connections, so I cannot pipe the fluidsolver into the static object?


Or did you mean something different?
