it works in unreal, just need to have the actual .mtlx file refrence inside the material for it to work,
sadly i can't seem to get a read back using the reference LOP, anyways I don't think this is good way to work,
either unreal makes a way to read the materialx inside the usd or houdini makes a way to reference Shaders inside usd
or even exporting it properly, now its either usdpreview or unrealMaterial property.

william_harleyok small price to pay, btw thanks for the chicken really helpful, especially the pose library setup. RFE sent.
Hi, dynamically changing the visibility of the controls are not supported yet. please RFE.

hello, anyone knows hows to connect the visibility of a control to say the output of abstract control,
im trying to create a IK/FK blend, all is working except the non-active controls are left visible,
I can see that there is a properties dictionary with a control dictionary where a visibility key is found,
now Im not sure how can I link a float value into it.

you have to add "not" node to do the else condition, i had headaches swapping variables inside if block, i ended up just creating a new block and "not" node to process those.

edward
Please submit your hip file demonstrating this as a bug, thanks!
the chicken rig was made with smoothik, try promoting the scale parameter of the root_ctrl,
then scale that control in the scene animate sop, you'll see what I mean. I've sent a RFE of it
often times i rig on unit scale model just to have a safe reference with distance base parameters of other sop
node, then i just reapply those at the root_ctrl to bring it back to the modeled scale.

I've been running APEX examples in the documentation, feels like a decoupled sops to me, something close to geometry nodes in blender, datatypes are wide open, although electra crashes alot on me, it feels a bit rushed, but then again its good to get use to this early, I'm feeling the same trauma I had learning PDG.

OneBigTreesame here, I don't have a clue on how to fix this.
Is there any new information on this?
I have tried using the Fetch in 19.5 but it fails immediately in HQueue.
Same with the new Karma ROP in the Out context. Mantra works fine. Some of the output log below:

this happens to my script. seems like a threading issue.
edit:
for anyone having the same problem as me, open your hipfile in hython and run the script there.
seems like a GL or GUI issue.

In any houdini directory in the $HOUDINI_PATH ($HFS/houdini, $HOME/houdini<major_version>.<minor_version>, etc…), create a file called jump.pref and just put the path that you want to show up in the jump menu.
just what i needed! thanks oldschool
