Extrude SOP does this for you. Not to be confused with Poly Extrude.

The options are in the Fuse Points parameter. It defaults to "Clamp Minimal Set" where each point as it self-intersects will stop-stick.

There are other options as well for you to try out but I believe the default "Clamp Minimal Set" is what you want.

The Extrude SOP was originally designed to extrude fonts but it comes in real handy for offsetting curves like this.

These days the PolyExpand2D SOP exists, in case anyone is wondering.

did you try using pintoanimation attribute?

Anyone with any solution to prevent it from Generating Distance Field?
I have version 19.0.622 too

PolyCap SOP fed an unshared edge group built by the Group SOP should normally do the trick.

It will cap all the holes but it will also create a lot of extra faces as your input geometry isn't ideal.

You have lots of knitted triangle regions that the PolyCap will not cap cleanly. It sees a single connected poly loop of 2 or more triangles sharing only one point each. It will bridge all the ploys filling in the concave areas as well.


Just what result are you after btw? It isn't too clear from your scene file.

I think the answer you're looking for is implied by the first sentence in that second dialog. If you turn on the "Save Definitions to Hip File" option, Houdini will automatically save into the hip file any definitions for any HDAs used in the hip file. No need for you to worry about which HDAs need to be Embedded, and no warning dialog. Everything gets bundled into the hip file automatically. That option can be set in the Asset -> Manage Asset Libraries dialog, on the Configuration tab. It's the first option in the "Embedded operator type library" section.

UE5 Preview 2 has been release and Houdini Engine for Preview 1 does not work with UE5 Preview 2. Could you update https://github.com/sideeffects/HoudiniEngineForUnreal [github.com] for the Preview 2 version? Thanks a lot.

HE works with Preview-2. You need to download this version:

have you tried to look into the gamedev toolset?
there's an UV transfer node, I haven't used it but you might want to give it a look

cheers

I didn't bother to fully check out the toolset yet, which turned out to be a mistake. The UV Transfer SOP works great! It does indeed transfer the UVs almost perfectly. There are a couple of mistakes, but they should be easy to fix. At the very least, it saves me a lot of time having to do all the UVs from scratch, and this gives me a lot of control over the LODs.

Thank you for alerting me to something I had missed before.

You have this issue just due to fbx or also with obj?
After importing the mesh, did you tried to play around with baking color ID parameters - color sorce?
How your color map looks like after baking?

If you color map looks ok'ish after baking, did you tried to separate color IDs by: masking - color selection - pick color?
