when i put down a file node inside cops, and week working some times, stops refreshing the image that i have in the file node.
so i decided to delete that cop and start over, as soon as i drop down another file node… it comes with the same settings. any one else got an issue like this? is there a way to force refresh cops?
thanks.

houdini let you create the way you want to work, been new to houdini, you might want to do all under the HIP file you create.
example you save your houdini scene. (scene.hip) in the desktop, after that any folder you do in the desktop will be “below” the hip file structure.
so later on what ever you want to use as reference you can use $HIP/ …. lalala….
you might want to search for how to set a $JOB.

Houdini Lounge » Face rig question.

- pelos

as i can see its a camera pointing to some shapes, usually the riggers will conect the positions, rotations of this nulls or shapes to something in the face rig.
if they raise the icon of the left eyebrow, that will move the controls of the left eyebrow acordingly.
ozipa did a book explaining this setup. there is a plugin that comes for Lightwave in the cartoon book (the little piggy character on the cover)
i usually dont like a setup like that since later on you need to add an extra control to go beyond the limits of those controls. i like the controls in the face itself, but its matter of preference for the animator and the rigger.
“i want more control but less controls”. will be the best line comming from an animator speaking with a rigger. LOL

Technical Discussion » how to promote object handles to a otl

i did a grid, put into a subnet and created an OTL from there.
how can i expose the grid handle to move rotata and scale if its selected in the viewport.
in that way the user doesnt have to dive inside the otl, and leave the grid node unlock.
for what i have seen in the stereo camera otl, you can select the ZPS plane in the viewport and will give the transform handles.
(is posible to show the handles of SOPs too? or just things at obj lvl?)
Thanks

tamte i thought doing the fit node in Vops will work. since it fit the bbox values from 0 to 1 i will check that again
peter uvw from camera that a new cool trick i will see how to implement the nodes later on. i didn't know w did something at all
thanks i will post my findings later

i have a POP simulation but i want the particles far away from the camera to be bigger and the ones closer by smaller.
do it base on the bbox min max.
this is what i got but the negative also is multipling, i thought
bbox( opinputpath(“.”,0), D_ZMAX) was 0 to 1
:roll:

did you save a .sim file?
if so you can use the last sim file as initial state and cache the rest of the sim. be afraid, i mean aware that sim file are huge since they contain all the data.
(you might want to save the .sim, only if later on you need to cache several bgeo sequence for different objects after, like 5 boxes and each will be their on bgeo)
other option is saving just the last .sim its in the dop network node.

i think the only thing the goz does is behind doors is that save the obj into a temp file. and in the 3d app lunch a script that bring it in and put the shaders.
from houdini one shoulnt do anything magical since the texture nodes or the geometry comes with a “reload” and the script for that shoud be python easy, since is just putting down a read node poiting to that temp file.
i dont know the scripting on zbrush but for houdini /zbruh i think will be more coding in the zbrush side that in houdini.
