I just plugged in all the test geo and it looks like (where there are multiple parts) it splits apart too.

Hi
I've created an island and like you do wanted to plop some trees on it.
I followed the H17 Master class on Heightfields but got different results.
When I plug simple geo into the scatter all is good. When I plug in some outside geo of a very simple tree it kind of explodes.
I modelled the tree in Modo and made sure all was centred and merged.
Any help on this would be fabulous

Well I did it, needs more work. Followed Ben Watts' tut, but it goes over my head a bit so I'll look at it more.

Hi Troops
Been playing around with Houdini for about 4 months and this is my first sim of fluid.
I have to say that Houdini doesn't make it easy at all (not like Realflow).
Next I'd like to add bubbles (any suggestions would be awesome).
Peace
Josh
Edit: THere is a 5MB upload limit… Crazy.

Houdini Learning Materials » Stopping a FLIP sim and letting it settle? (SOLVED)
- joshkitneycgi

Got the answer form Atom on the Odforce forum.
“To stop the flip just turn off the Activation on the Source Volume node by animating it from 1 to 0 over 1 frame. This is a toggle. For a smoother drop off of the input try animating the Scale Source Volume from 1 to 0 over a second or two.
Once there is no input existing velocity should slow down over time. Gravity will have an affect as well.”

Hi Troops
So I'm new to Houdini (4 months old) and so far it's been a good challenge, driving me nuts… but good none the less.
I've finally figured out how to fill a glass with a liquid, this and a few other forums helped.
What I can't find is how to stop the flip sim, at say frame 250, and let it continue to settle the liquid for a further 100 or so frames.
Any ideas are welcome, no rush as it's all practice right now and thankfully not client work.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for replying.
I have posted what you said on the Modo forums. It's a topic of great discussion at the moment and I have even got the developers in on the action.
Basically they said Blosc decoding is working within Modo but has a few issues that will be corrected before the next release.
Cheers troops
Thank you.

Hi Marc
Thanks for taking the time to write about your experiences with Modo and VDB's.
I've totally cut Modo out of the picture to render vdb's from Houdini, it's simply broken.
I have a demo of C4D R18 and a proper licence of Octane for it. I got them rendering in no time at all, ever so simple.
Thanks again to SideFX for offering a version of Houdini that people can cut their teeth on, that's really generous.
Cheers

Hi Troops
Just playing around with H15+, really nice work SideFX.
I wanted to make some smoke and render it in Modo 10 with Octane 3 but I'm hitting a blank wall.
I see the files being written in my VDB folder but nothing shows up in Modo's viewport.
Is it an Apprentice thing, do I need to purchase Indie?
Please point me in the direction of victory!!!
Thanks in advance
