mh, I must be blind, but I can not see that there is any node that tells houdini what to do with usevel. is it a special attribute?
usevel is the name of the integer attribute that decides where to get the velocity from, but I think You can not drive it from by pointattributes

ha, great, I found it
the menu entry in the start menu is executed in C:\Users\Admin, I corrected it to C:\Users\Martin and everything is fine.
only my houdini.env file is still not used, but that didn't work before, too.
thanks for Your time

oh, sorry for not being clear ops:
I tried it 2 ways,
-I logged in as admin and installed it directly as admin
-I started the installer with the right mouse option, run as admin in my user account.
now I want to start houdini as user, but get the errors from startmenu
WindowsError: Zugriff verweigert: ‘c:\\users\\admin/*.*’
…..
launch, also it seem's that the help does not work, for example when I press on the question mark of a operator the help does open blank.
when I start it with clicking on file everything works fine.
when I log in as user everything works fine ( no errors, working help)
what else informations can I provide
thanks in advance

it;s back again, and I discovered that it does not happen when I simply click on a hipfile to start houdini. Another strange thing is that when I start houdini this way, all my variables I set in the houdini.env file in my user/houdinix.x directory are actually set. This also does not work when I start Houdini from the startmenu.

Hi,
The 10.0.465 still work without any error messages.
I tried several things:
I installed it, logged in as user, windows7 prompting for the admin password, then after the errors I uninstalled it, and tried it by logging in as admin and installing it from there.
Now i tried to start it in admin account like You suggested and there was no error, but tada, the error on my account is gone, too
Strange , but thank You

for vex operators You have several options
1. You can do a VOPSOP and plug Your code then collapse it to a subnet and create a digital asset from it
2. in sopcontext create a vopnet, and inside create a soptype, back in sop You can pull in Your new sop. to make a digital asses collapse both, the sop and the vopnetwork to a digial asset
3. in vex context create a sopoperator and rightclick on it and “compile vexcode to soptype”, this creates a new SOP for You as digital asses. You write then vex code into the code section
4. In the filemenu choose new operator type and select SOP, it also creates a digital asset for You to write vex code

Hi
i see some error messages in the console when starting recent builds, the last working one, I had installed is 10.0.465, newer ones seem to have problems with some directories. I'm running windows 7 ultimate
the error looks like this:

I encounter some inconsistent quaternions during animation of captured geometry. I made a little test setup to demonstrate the problem.
in the main take both bones rotate, and that's where the problem occurs. the 2 other takes have only on bone's animation active.
I added a object to visualize the orient attribute on the geometry, and as You can see it is inconsistent during the animation.
how can I avoid this strange geometry jumps?
best regards

Hi
when I remember right there were two arrow buttons in h8 in the parameter pane to quickly jump to the previous or next keyframe. is there a way in h10 to get them. I could not find it.

mh, not sure about the argc expression, but maybe I didn't get your idea
i was thinking about linking them by a additional data in dops, we will see.

hi,
in Your mantraROP, check out the output tab under properties. there You can add additional output planes and N is a standard output. if You render in exr You should be able to use it in nuke

hi Manuel
modify your dopfield expression in the rbdstate node to:
if( dopoption(“.”, “grid”, “Position”, “ty”) >= point(“/obj/dopnet:mygroup_”+($OBJID-3)+“/Geometry”, 0, “ymin”, 0), 1, 0)
Your box naming starts at zero, but the objid is allready at 3, as 0,1 and 2 are allready occupied by other objects.
I'm also looking for a way to reference this more bulletproof
cheers Martin
