Hi! Here we go. Apprentice is hanging on startup.
This is a newly licensed Houdini 11.1.118
running on an HP Elitebook Win7-Pro w/ QuadCore i7, 16Gb RAM and 2Gb nVidia Quadro 1000 card
The Houdini Master logo comes up, than just hangs there. Eventually the Task Mgr shows it a (not responding).
Is there a way to launch this so I can see a console window?
Is there a log file, somewhere, with stdout or the WinDoze equiv?
Thanx!
AndyR

Thanx, Silvina,
No download managers, other than the defaults for Win7-64…this is a new laptop. I am running Avast, and have turned the real-time qizmo off…result: success.
8)
Downloading now….it shows about 16minutes remaining.
Warm Regards,
AndyR

Hi. I just ordered Apprentice, and the download for Houdini-11.1.118-win64 is not working at all.
Each attempt yields a 1.585KB file, which throws an NSIS error:
“Instraller intergrity check has failed….Contact the installer's author to obtain a new copy.”
3hree attempts so far. The file is never more than 1.585Kb, despite the indication that it is a 200+ Mb file.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanx!

Thanx! Switched to 11. The v9 tutorials are nowhere close to the details in the new SHOPs! Perhaps a h.11 SHOPs tutorial in the works for this?
Also, ran the ‘Overview tutorial’ for grins. The RBD letters completely smash to poly-bits when they hit the grid. They do not stay together as volumes.
Is there a step that I missed?
Thanx for the help.

Hi! Going through the tutorials on, newly downloaded H10.
Win7-64, on HP8530w laptop w/ Intel Dual 2.8Ghx, 4Gb RAM and nVidia Quadro FX770m
0) The License mgr could not find/install the license keys for my “Starving Artist” version. I could not download the license keys. Currently running under the 30-day license for ‘standard Apprentice“
1) Where are the ’standard' materials? I have no Blinn, Lambert or other ‘standard’ material specs..
2) When I attempted to assign a ‘reflective’ material to the letters of the Font node, there was an error message saying: ”Couldn't save the modified Gallery file". What gives?

Thanx, Steven…I haven't installed SP 2.0 for XP, yet. Still running SP 1.
We ARE a bit cramped on memory..currently running on only 512Mb, with a 2nd 512MB module on order, HOWEVER, it WAS somewhat working in Hardware mode prior to the new ATI drivers being installed.
If HOUDINI_OGL_SOFTWARE = 1 it works, but slow.
If HOUDINI_OGL_SOFTWARE = 0, or, if the variable is removed, it simply dosen't work. (Houdini will run, but even changing the window size will crash it)
Is there anything in the OPENGL panel that I need to tweek?

Hi there! Looking for some forum wisdom here.
I'm running a Dell Inspiron 8200 p4-2GHz Laptop, Running XP Pro w/ ATI Mobility Radeon 9000. (Stop laughing…its' all I got!)
I JUST loaded the latest drivers, hoping to solve some major crashing issues. This is v7.83-030120a1-007221C from Dell.
The result: NOTHING works (in Houdini!) Even resizing the workspace crashes Houdini (v5.5, 6.1, 6.5 and beta 7)
The following env variables were added:
HOUDINI_OGL_SOFTWARE = 1
HOUDINI_DISPLAYLIST_DELAY = 0
HOUDINI_OGL_DBL_BUFFER_FIX = 1
…and so the systems works, but is much slower than with the hardware in play. Any ideas to get back some of the performance?
Sorry…my budget dosen't allow for a new machine right now…
Thanx!

Technical Discussion » Operator names?

An annoying problem recently came up in 5.5, and I imagine it may occur in 6 as well. The op names, which generally reside next to the op tiles in a network pane, have disappeared.
The list mode ('t') shows the names, but they don't appear next to the tiles. This is non-named state is now true whenever Houdini is launched.
Where is the menu option which turns these on/off?

I recently picked up a Dell 8200 w/ ATI Radeon 9000. Installed Hoidini 5.5 and it crashed everytime I attamted to run Houdini!
Dell has new drivers, as of 2/21/03. I downloaded these and installed 'em…no problems since! I have noticed some slow screen updates, however.
Does anyone have any idea of how the OpenGL settings might be optimized ? Currently running the defaults.
Thanx!

I recently installed Apprentice 5.5 on a Dell workstation. This is the full, standard installation. Several of the tutorials make refernce to sample immages located in the $HFS/demo directory, but it apparently wasn't installed on my system. The $HFS/document directory was installed ok, but no demos!
Where are these samples?
Any ideas?
