Hi!
I have a scene with objects, floor and image background. I want to render the objects with the shadows on the floor without the floor object.
I tried with VEX Shadow Matte but it's not working. I also looked at the H8 Render Pass Workflow.PDF and I don't found what I want.
How to render shadow on the object without the object ?
Thanks in advance!
Bob

Thanks Rob for your answer.
But I don't find it. It's supposed to be above the Tab key and its not there.
My keyboard is in french and I think I maked a configuration error when I installed windows.
Can you just type the symbol in the second reply and I will copy it.

Houdini Indie and Apprentice » Load Texture Problem

Hi! everyone
I'm making a space scene with planets and I want to apply the textures on them but I receive always the same message:
Unable to load texture.
I'm working on my movie and I have not used Houdini since many weeks and I forgot. I know that I must change something but I don't remember what.
I changed format .jpg for picnc, I have also removed the underscores and it don't work.
What I must do to load the textures ?
Thanks

Hi! everyone
I was searching for a low price used software who included rigid body and hair, because I don't have this in XSI Foundation 4.2, and I saw old versions of Houdini on OEM websites.
Here the link: http://www.softwarebizreseller.com/index.php?target=desc&progid=10950 [softwarebizreseller.com]
Is it legal ?
They say that it's full version… full version commercial ?
I'm very septic about this.
Thanks in advance!

I append another color node and I get this. I don't see where is my mystake.
In fiew time I will be ready to work for ILM.
I use Houdini 8 because I had many problems with Houdini 9 (I use H9 since I registered on this site… since four months I think).
My hard disk is split in two, I have H8 and H9 on my computer
I have an old video card, this certainly don't help and I don't have money to buy a better one.
But this week I found that when I maximise the single viewport and return to normal view, the RBD work correctly in H9.
With Houdini 8 I don't have problems, H9 seem too charged.
P.S. The Magic of Houdini book and Gnomon DVDs use Houdini 8, and I find more easy to learn with it. (I prefer the nodes look in H8).

I found the problem.
When I change the color in the Alpha tab of the POPs Color node, it change the color in the Color tab.
That is why in the render (and the viewport) it was gray.
Now I have the color but not the alpha.
How change the Alpha color without it affect the Color tab ?
Thanks in advance!

Hi!
I'm doing the particles tutorial in the Magic of Houdini book, page 172 and I can't see the color in the render.
I don't find where is my mystake.
- in the copy SOP I changed the asterisk for CD and Alpha.
- I enable the Use Template Point Attributes, in the attribute panel (I'm not sure, in the book he say toggle on the Copy Template Point Attributes parameters, I don't find this).
- In the shader node I've add the Vex layered shader in the surface field.
I render and I have just gray color.
If you can help me, it will be very appreciate!

Thanks jason_iversen!,
But I don't find this ports and where to open it in ZoneAlarm.
I don't have ZoneAlarm Security Suite, just the free one… maybe this ports are there.
What firewall you use?

Hi!
I have installed Houdini apprentice on my second computer and it run very slow.
Is it possible that ZoneAlarm slow down Houdini ? (I don't know very much about firewall).
If yes, what is the best firewall to use for Houdini run normally ?
Thanks!

Hi! everybody!
I search the Mask Tab in the camera node's parameter editor and I don't find it. In the 8 version (I have 8 and 9 now ) ,I have no problem, but in the 9 version I have no Mask Tab. Where I can find it to set the aspect and opacity of the mask ?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks Pagefan! Now I have a nice and professional interface look!
Me too, J.C., I don’t like the cartoony icons but when I use small and text I lost some icons (with text it’s too large).
Last question to close the colors seting chapter : How change the viewport and the grid color?
Thanks again for your help!

Very nice! I like it!
Just a little problem, I don't find the $HOME/houdini9.x/config. to put the file in.
Do you mean the Config in the Houdini files?
C:\Program Files\Side Effects Software\Houdini 9.0.768\houdini\config
Thanks JColdrick!
Pagefan, where is that options you talk about?

Great! Now I have unlimited time to create a cube, a sphere… maybe a cone
I installed H9 and I like it, but I have a problem with the views. I can't be in 3 or 4 view only in single or two. When I select 3 or 4, a fatal error window appear and I must close the program. I don't know why?
Question about non-commercial use:
Can I use Houdini to create some CG scenes in my Non-Profit movie?
P.S. I dislike the candy interface colors, I feel like in the CareBears cartoon, sure it's not the «old Atari game like» interface of Maya, but I prefer Houdini 8 colors version. When I saw on Gnomon website pictures of H8, I always found the interface look very serious and professional. I don't understand this change. :?
