Is there a way that I could add a right click menu with shortcuts to nodes? I'm looking for something similar to Maya/3ds max marking menus.

I hoping to group common nodes that I use for quick access.


Thanks

this is a easy one…. More options to Align Pivot.(local, world, screen, normal, parent)
and more needed…the SNAP TO CENTEROID option on the “edit” node. it currently exists on the Transform (xform) but not the edit.


thanks

thanks for the quick response.

Pagefan you are the man!! That worked! well…kinda…works well enough.

I wanted to be able to align the pivot using the "edit“ node but I guess the ”xform“ is okay. The issue is the ”edit“ node doesn't have ”SNAP to CENTROID“ option, the ”xform" does.

is there a request a feature option on sidefx xD


anyway,

thanks guys

Been trying to figure this out for a while now…

HOW DO I ORIENT A PIVOT TO FACE NORMALS????

So…i think I tried everything I can think of..and searched the entire known www.

The closest I get is Align Handel > Start Orientation Picking but the pivot then moves to the intersecting point. How do I orient the pivot to the face normal?


in the image…

the Default orients to either WORLD, OBJECT or CAMERA
What I get is what I get using the Start Orient Picking
What I want is the end goal…(i got it by eye balling it into place)


If anyone has any info on this please let me know

thanks all

Alloo Alloo,

Im trying to model a flower…which in houdini is easy enough …but I am wondering if anyone here have advice on how I should model this flower in order to rig it so that it can bloom:

What I have is one petal that is copied around a center pivot with a simple sphere in the middle. I was just planning on using a bend deformer and animate its phase.

Does anyone have advice on how I can do this more realistically so that each petal opens a little differently, or have different bends and twists?

any advice would be great!!

thanks

Thanks Jeff for replying.

I kinda found a little work around. I found a little app online that remaps the keyboard layout. I was able to change my ALT to SPACE

thanks again

Hi everyone…

Im just wondering if anyone knows how to change the viewer navigation from the default SPACE to the ALT ?? I jump between maya and houdini alot and its just a humbug as I tend to stumble around in houdini because my fingers are used to ALT instead of SPACEBAR.

thanks

Cheers!
