Houdini Lounge » Camera Projection

Hi
I have a match move camera which came from Syntheyes. Ive imported
the exported .cmd file into Houdini and some geometry generated from the various track points. I have little experience in setting this up in Houdini but I assumed I import my back ground images then the frame which I hope to project. This happens to be the last frame of the sequence. Do I use two camera's one to project and one to render from. I can seem to set everything from one camera using info from this forum but if anyone could help me with this process it would be much appreciated. Im trying to remove an object from the background which has been painted out on the last frame as a separate element.
Many thanks
Simon

Hi
Ive imported a syntheyes track as a .cmd file which works fine. When I play the move which is at 25fps and review the move over the background plate it feels as though its a frame out. How can I shift all the camera keyframes forward by one frame? Ive opened the frames in chops but can only move them north south but not east west.
Any help would be appreciated
Regards

Hi
loaded 10.0.327 onto my mac pro 2.66 dual core, OSX 10.5.6, Nvidia 7300GT
As soon as you resize the main window a tool menu pops up in the bottom right corner and will not go away. In fact multiple copies appear. Also resetting the window by pressing the green button top left produces another tool menu. Now the software freezes with ‘Fatal Error’ when shutting it down.
Hope the next version fixes this

Is anyone else getting this.
Undo's don't work via keyboard command only from the drop down menu,
changing the view with space+b doesnt work and the image viewer window
often opens with a dropdown menu attached to it?

Hi Anamous,
I reapplied my textures to the file you posted and the problem has now gone. Fantastic!
Im not exactly sure what you have changed to fix this. I can see that the displacement bounds has been increased to 2 but what else did you adjust
to get rid of that mess?

Thanks for the reply.
I did what you said but Im not sure it made any difference. Im beginning to think this may be a bug? If I render closer to camera the problem gets worse
as you can see. If I render with the object some distance from the camera it becomes much less apparent.

Hi
I have this strange issue happening when using a displacement map where the image breaks up unless the bump is very very small.
Can anyone tell me what is causing this. Im using micropoly rendering.
The geometry has a uv texture node and then a material node applied.
Thanks for any help.

Houdini Indie and Apprentice » Fatal Error message with latest Mac build 9.5.353

Hi,
with the latest Mac build every time I create a sphere and apply the shatter node Houdini crashes and I get a 'Fatal Error" dialogue box. This didnt happen in the previous version. Also when is the maddening problem with IU going to be fixed. At some stage when using Houdini the interface screws up icons disappear leaving black boxes. This has been a problem for a long time now. Does anyone running Houdini on a Mac have no problems what so ever. If so could you tell me your set up.
Thanks

Hi,
Ive had this problem continuously for some time with builds from way back.
I have the same graphics card and have experienced other related problems
with the Houdini UI. It will no doubt happen to me again today so I'll post a screen shot with the most recent build i have. By the way I also have the HD
version(9.1) running on windows as well on this intel macpro and it feels a lot more solid. As for drivers… I have the latest Mac OSX version and as far as Im aware (because Ive tried) you cant download new Nvidia drivers for the Mac.
I hope this gets sorted out?

Hi
Are you on a Mac or PC?
Also are you saying that with that amount of virtual memory on a Mac I shouldnt experience any problems. Every time I start a clean session without any other software running I see the same amount being used.

Hi,
Why does Houdini need such a huge amount of virtual memory?
On my intel Mac even after rebooting the machine and restarting Houdini it still comes out at a wapping 35gigs. Most other software I use doesnt seem to need more that about 3gigs. Could this cause any problems as find running 9.5.170 and any other software ie After Effects, Shake, Monet after a while Houdini locks up.
