Houdini Indie and Apprentice » Asset within another asset: bad idea?

User Avatar

While working with nested assets I noticed that only the first layer of nested assets is installed. Is this correct?

So the setup is:
Asset A contains Asset B / Asset B contains Asset C and Asset C contains Asset D.
Asset B is inside Asset A. So all Assets are nested in Asset A.

Sorry for the confusion

If I install asset A in my hip File only Asset B is installed, which is directly in Asset A. Asset C (inside Asset B) is not installed and will not work. Only the assets directly inside of the installed asset will work but not the assets inside of them.

I will not overdo it with nested assets but for small tools and custom shaders etc. its handy.

Here you can see the test Asset. Asset B,C,D are nested in A. If all are installed it works. But if you install Asset A in a fresh scene only A and B are working.

Yes, thats what I´m trying to do. Unfortunately it does not work. In Blender e.g. its one piece of mesh. I noticed that the ropgltf says "name attribute has different values. No mesh name will be exported"

While exporting a fbx I can create a objects hierarchy with a path attribute. Is this also possible with the gltf export Node?
Goal is to have separate objects later instead of one mesh like in in houdini.

I asked myself the same thing

What I figured out is that you can point your whitewater source node directly to the compressed cache. If you started with the shelf tools and create the white water also with the shelf you have to choose the flip object but it will point the input of the white water source also to the compressed cache.

hey jsmack,

Thank you very much for your reply. I had a look at the aces profile and installed it. Thats nice!!

The tip with chops is also very intersting. Is it enough to just create a vopchop in chops with the soft clip? Or do I need something else there? Right now it does not really use the copvop in the lookup cop. It gives me just black values.

cheers

Hi,

I will cross post this topic also here to this forum maybe someone can help me.

https://forums.odforce.net/topic/43598-render-view-with-logarithmic-compression-tone-mapped/?tab=comments#comment-206163 [forums.odforce.net]


I try to find a way to display my renders with a logarithmic compression in the render view. Since mantra has no function to apply a color mapping directly to the image my idea was to do that with a LUT but it seems really hard to find a lut that is creating a “simple” logarithmic compression.

I tried to create a lut myself in cops with soft clip node which gives the desired results but unfortunately I can´t create luts from that vopcop filter. Only from color correction operators.

I would be grateful for some help.

cheers
Jon

Makes also more sense to me. It would be nice to have this as a toggle.

I'd like to export the position of a null within the HDA to be used for parented outside of the HDA. How would I get multiple inputs to work? (right now my Maximum Outputs is set to “1” and grey'd out in the type properties).

Technical Discussion » Matching FK to IK question

User Avatar

I try to add a “match FK to IK ” functionality into my character hda.

This is my animated ellbow with an IK system ( it has no bones on this character )




I created a button which copies the animated values from IK to FK parameters to match both systems. That would work but of course the FK looks wrong because the wrist has no animation at all in IK system but should have some in FK system to match the IK.



I need some functionality to compensate the Wrist and animated back to the “zero” position. But I´m struggling a bit.

Does anybody have some tipps to deal with this ?

kind regards
Jon

Indeed a strange behavior. Now I would also be interested into the reason why this is happening.

I didn´t test this but it should be possible to use the heat variable as an extra image plane in your rop.

Sine node works with radians. So -0.988 should be fine. Depending on what you are after you can use the “degrees to radians” node before your sine node.

I think its because of the shader. Your Alpha channel is black and your pngs are premultiplied with the black alpha so you cant see anything. If you hit the “toggle transparency” button in the render view you can see that you render is also getting black in houdini.

Thanks for the reply. I will try that with the graphics driver just to be sure. I think the bug occurs more often when I´m working with the graphics tablet…but I´m not sure.
