What about a Scene level for the Details View? That could present a nice summary by object or something like that…
Of course, to do that, you'd also need an Object level in the Details View, which might be all you need.
Anyway, a thought.

When you say “cache”, what do you mean?
If what you want to do is to write out the geometry of the fracturing object at each frame, then use an Object Merge SOP to extract the geometry from the DOP simulation, then write that out with a Geometry ROP. The syntax in the Object parameter line will be
/obj/dopnet1:yourobject/Geometry
where “dopnet1” is the name of your dop network and “yourobject” is the name of the RBD object you care about.
Then you can read the geometry back in with a File SOP and get much better interactive performance and quicker, simpler renders.

The shelf has another value too. It gives studios a place to put launch buttons for custom tools. In H8, there was no obvious, simple way to do this for artists, but now it is very simple. It may seem trivial, but it's a huge step forward for Houdini's integration into custom pipelines (that is, all of them).

I'm not convinced that you need to specify the static IP address (unless you really have one, which I doubt).
Try just having the first line, and then return and check out your license again. Other than that, I'm stumped.

what does your /etc/hosts file look like now?
I had a similar problem to yours, and I fixed it by adding another alias to the localhost line, namely:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain monkey localhost
This lets me get a license locally whether I am on the intertubes or not.

Seems like you'll want to start by bringing your data in via CHOPs. Turn that string of numbers into geometry, and then off you go to do whatever it is you're thinking of.

I think the issue is the quality of the jpeg during the save to disk, not the render. In which case, look in
$HFS/houdini/FBoptions
There is a line in there that says
JPEG quality 75
Just change it to whatever you want.

I don't think you can have things be broken apart (that is, have glue bonds be broken) simply with forces. You have to have impacts, which come from actual objects colliding with your object.
So if you want to blow something apart like that, you'll have to hit it with one or more objects (call them force objects), which themselves can be motivated by the field force. Then when you render the result, just don't show the force objects.

You have to set the goal point to be “moving”. By default, it's only set at the start of the simulation otherwise.

I submitted an RFE to allow us to quickly dump to the textport the commands required to recreate the current desktop. It “should” be the .desktop file but not quite. ID=21135
Where is this file? Do you mean the files in $HH/desktop? Or something else?

That's pretty vague, but ffmpeg and mencoder both do things like this. It depends on exactly what input files and what output file you are expecting.

Feel free to amend!
I tried, but it's a locked page. CIS Hollywood also has a few copies of Houdini, as used on Poseidon.
