one of solution I have is to use:


to get path of GEO_STD_ATTRIB_CAPT_SKELROOT “pCaptSkelRoot”

and add that to my path

this is what I have

then I am splitting string to get name of chain and then I need to add path of root obj manually
like “/obj/” + name, and what if I have subnetwork or net in net.
and then I was planning to use:

OBJ_Node * obj_nodeBone = OPgetDirector()->findOBJNode(pathOfNode);



Is it there any possibility to have absolute path of capture node or node it self with HDK.
this paths.getPath(0) is giving me just for eg. chain_bone1/cregion regardless if it is in subnet or not. but when I am searching for I need to use absolute path that have eg. /obj/subnet/chain_bone1/cregion

thanks

did you figure out

I have same problem.

I just updated Xcode to 7.3.1 it fixed all my problems

Thank you. This helped me a lot.
I have in my game engine step, linear, bazier interpolation. I was using FBX before. 3D app -> fbx -> fbxTogame app -> game app . Naw I am doing 3D app -> game app. Basically fbxTogame app is naw new plugin (lib) in 3D App. In tis case Houdini that makes files that will be load to game.

I am learng HDK. Trying to write plugin that will export animation to my game engine.
I would appreciate a lot if someone could show me right way to get a list of animation keys and slobs data.
Right now I have CH_Channel and I Am trying to understand how I need to go from there.
Is CH_Segment what I need to do next? Is Segment part from key to key or it is complete animation curve from start to end?

Thanks.

Possible Bug
Houdini: 12.1.125
Distribution Build: macosx_x86_64_gcc4.2_10.7.dmg

If I have animation curves on translation on XYZ and I have animation on rotation XYZ exporting is fine, but if I have animation plus on scale XYZ , exporting is wrong, he take Scale values and overwrite rotation and do not export scale animation, so on the end in fbx file you have animation for translation XYZ and rotation XYZ, but rotation have scale values.

When I export fbx from houdini, bones and animation, he will do plotting of keys and make all of them linear, before he save data to fbx.

All objects in scene that have animation are exported normal with keys that are not plotted, except bones, why ?

Can I change that (to have normal, bezier or … , key interpolation) ?
I do not need plotted animation curve, key every frame.
I am in the c++ and Py if it is needed.

Currently I am programming in objective-c and c++ using fbx SDK to export from fbx to my extension for game.

can someone help me please ….

thanks

file “com.sidefx.sesinetd.plist” missing this line

<key>ExitTimeOut</key>
<integer>1</integer>

it is exit time of 1 sec.

by default exit time in osx is 20 sec.

you can change this in future installation of Houdini for OSX.

for thous who wont to do this manually path for file is /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.sidefx.sesinetd.plist
and

<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8”?>

export HOUDINI_PATH=“/users/name/name/hotbin_osx_H11.0.701_1.0rc9;&”

;& is importan for houdini to luck on another place for otl-s

so you can set your on folder for otl-s

1. run: Houdini Shell.terminals (to set path - env …. )
2. execute: export HOUDINI_PATH=“/users/name/name/hotbin_osx_H11.0.701_1.0rc9;&”

3. execute: houdini ( to start houdini )

and you will have ocean tools
to see if you did proper path set after starting houdini go to:
Window > Operator Type Manager > Operators > (+) Operators Type Libraries > (+) Scanned OTL Directories
on the botom of list you will si need to have your dir starting with /users/name/name/hotbin_osx_H11.0.701_1.0rc9

you do not need to have name of this dir hotbin_osx_H11.0.701_1.0rc9
it can be houdiniPlug or whatever you want, all future otl-s you can put in inside otls dir

I had similar problem in XSI.

with caracter animation (envelop-xsi) (skining-maya)

after one day looking in problem, I discover that I have caracter on 10000-xt, 10000-zt,
and I moved caracter to 0,0,0, xyz, and errors was gone.

problem was in precision (float val).

so I think that your problem is same if it is not scale or position of your caracter than
is in material, look for values that can decrease precision of calculation.

I have issue, when I start lic.
sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.sidefx.sesinetd.plist
it start immediately.
when I stop lic.
sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.sidefx.sesinetd.plist
it need 20 sec to stop.
