yeah, been dealing with workarounds, also the unity UI looks really cool, UE4 needs more love
any ETA from Epic on that new mesh component?
thank you

oooh damn, reading the docs again, seems like that is only for UE4 Material Instances, not for materials that come from Houdini, I'm I wrong?
could that be done? modify the Blend Mode for a material that comes from Houdini?
thanks

Hi
so I'm trying to modify the blend mode as described here http://sidefx.com/docs/unreal/_materials.html#MaterialsInstances [sidefx.com]
like this
but is not working, is this a bug? am I doing it wrong?
I'm creating a detail attribute as the note says and making it a string, there's no change in the created material un UE4
Using UE4 4.18.3 and Houdini FX 16.5.359
thank you

like this
To change the “Blend Mode” parameter from the default “Opaque” value, to “Additive”, add a unreal_material_parameter_blendmode detail attribute to your asset, and set its value to either “additive” (String attribute) or 3. (Float or Integer attribute).

To solve that python issue I set Houdini to use the internal python version instead of Fedora version
like this in the houdini.env file
HOUDINI_USE_HFS_PYTHON=1
like this in the houdini.env file

Yeah is really old
some stuff might be useful but not something you want to follow step by step
also, is a cmivfx training not digital tutors
this is the correct video https://cmivfx.com/houdini-fluid-effects-for-td [cmivfx.com]'s

This are my results from that new Scene
the new block example Jeff added it's almost exactly the same as the stamp version, which is nice cause I like the stamp way, used to that and the new way is a little complex for new people.
So what's the magic ingredients that makes it faster?
this is on a 32 threads machine

Hi everybody
been testing and yes, the old copy stamping is faster then the compile
I'm using 2 Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 Processors for a total of 32 threads, not latest gen but still good, or so I thought.
another user with a Intel i7-5930K Processor with 12 threads, is getting way faster speeds, like 10x
so not sure what to say, downgrade to one processor?

not really sure what I'm doing wrong, seems like threads are colliding, to be honest this is way over my head
any help would be much appreciated

Yeah is for my Cycles ROP
looping the geometry is the slowest part not really writing to disk
that's what I want to make faster
right now having issues with matrix stuff damn camera doesn't match
thanks

Hi
I'm writing a renderer and exporting the geo to the format I need takes
the most time specially with geometry with millions of points of course
I think there was a post a while back about this, to process the geometry faster
can't find it
any tips?
use numpy maybe?
an external C++ parser maybe?
any tips are welcome
thanks

Hi
I know read the docs right, but I need a little help
well the parameters are not that documented, as far as I've seen, HDK Newbie here
so I'm just trying to figure it out by searching the samples, building and failing a lot
any reference would be great
or maybe there is and I just missed it.
Just a note, by parameters I mean, making the UI of an operator, camera selector, float and integer sliders, combo boxes etc, all that stuff that is really simple to do for HDAs.
thank you for your help

wow that is a long post
only thing I can say is I'm a freelance artist using Houdini and Only Houdini doing all sorts of jobs, all that with the Indie version, been doing that for 5 years now, so can it be done? yes I'm doing it right now
and I have so much work that I shouldn't be responding to forum posts
Cheers!!
final note: I have so much work because I use HOUDINI, that's why people come to me.
final note 2: I have a wife and a daughter so, is not like I'm a student living of this and 2 dogs

Thank you
It was just about getting you started, I guess the reasons why you use it are up to your preference and/or pipeline environment.

A workaround that speeds up static mesh cooking is to disable the triangle-order-cache-optimization step.r.TriangleOrderOptimization=2
This variable must be set before the MeshUtilities module loads. Humorously, It's actually commented out in the last line of Engine\Config\ConsoleVariables.ini
We'll continue to optimize the cooking performance, but hopefully this helps a bit.
edit: Be sure to un-set this variable before doing a final cook because you want the mesh to be optimized.
Haven't had a chance to test but just did and don't see a real speed up
my best option right now is doing a simple prototyping geometry for interaction and just toggle to full when done.
you can see what I did in this video
