This bit me too. You can also set HOUDINI_CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.8 if you don't want to change the system level gcc.

This only works for hcustom as it priorities HOUDINI_CC over CXX and CC. If you are using make, you will have to modity $HFS/toolkit/makefiles/Makefile.linux to use gcc-4.8 without changing the system level gcc.

Yes Cameron. Switching to gcc-4.8 fixes the problem.

For those who are facing same issue, follow these steps:

sudo update-alternatives –install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.8 10

sudo update-alternatives –set gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.8


Thank you Cameron!

Windows > Desktop > Reload current Desktop

or

If you override any built-in desktops then delete it from home folder. Then launch Houdini, it will create new one.

Find attached otl.
It prints out any point attribute value from point group.
If you are on Linux, it will open log file in Gedit otherwise will ignore it. You can find log file in hip directory.

“Get Attribute” VOP imports given attribute from given file or input.
“Bind” VOP adds attribute.
“Set Attribute” VOP sets attribute value if it already exists.
“Add Attribute” VOP is similar to bind VOP and maps attribute. Mapping is the major difference between bind and addAttribute.

Because local variables are not supported everywhere in Houdini. $NPT is not local variable for refine SOP.
Use this expression instead:
npoints(opinputpath(“.”, 0))

Renders to Mplay are temporary. You lost those if mplay is closed. You can save renders from file menu or by right click.
