Hi.
the problem got solved. i am writing this so if someone is having the same issue maybe my method can help him.
i just have done several things in the past few days and one of them has solved the problem but i don't know which one.
1 installing visual c#
2 changing my computer time
3 installing nod 32 anti virus.
maybe developers can guess which one it is and how it has solved the issue.

thanks twod.
i created the variable and now houdini creates icon files in another directory but, the problem is not solved. houdini is still so slow and buttomless.
what amazes me is that it was fine before, how come i am experiencing such issues now?
do you have any other idea? :cry:

HI. using help and a lot of luck i kinda realized how to use command tools to set environment variables,
if i am correct set shows the list of all variables, but i don't see any HOUDINI_ICON_CACHE_DIR variable. what should i do?

i installed houdini as administrator and run it as administrator. but i want to try your solution, how can i set environment setting? i don't know what HOUDINI_ICON_CACHE_DIR variable is.
i have a feeling this is the issue cause houdini's directory is read only and whatever i do i can't change it to writable.

thanks twod. i have tested this method, but it didn't work. is there anything else i can do? cause this happened once before but then it got solved by itself and before that i had never had this issue it is kinda weird that i am having this problem on a fresh installment of windows. cause on fresh installment it was ok before, and since i have changed no hardware it is like the exact same situation as before so why should this happen?

and i use win 32-bit.
i don't know if this is considered a bug and should be reported like a bug or if it is better to ask it in the forum.

by the way:
my houdini version: 9.5 apprentice build 379.
and i am well aware of new versions of houdini but i have dial up connection so downloading the new versions is not an option for me.

hi i am having the “blank icons” issue.
seems like this beast(it is a beast, not a bug) is going to stay till the judgment day.
1) i am using houdini 9.5 on windows xp sp2.
2) i have tested deleting houdini's directory, it didn't work.
3) i searched the forums(a lot), but didn't find any other suggestions for windows users. most solutions are targeted at linux or MAC user's.
4.History) i didn't have this issue for 1 year. then once it happened, then i stopped using houdini till someday i run houdini by accident and found out that the problem was solved. but yesterday i reinstalled my windows and then installed houdini and the issue's back. in the first year i had reinstalled windows many times and i had never had the issue.
5) i am very sad. please help

4. how can i specify which objects i want to take light from a specific lamp or to be rendered or not?
5. this is about shading. not rendering. how can i for example add a cloud texture like other apps to a very basic material?

thank you both.
for the first i think we don't have this option in houdini 9.5 which i am using now( h10 slow on my pc). isn't there any way to get the same effect in some other way?
and i have another question. can we have a real sky in houdini? i mean like terragen vue etc.. cause i've seen such a thing in Blender thought maybe it exists in houdini too. for example sun atmosphere and stuff.

hi. i had several question about mantra. i asked them before but i got no answer. :cry:
1. i want to do some very simple rendering in houdini using mantra. consider a cube on a suface. no shaders no material. nothing. can i make this really fast? i mean turning off some features of mantra that i don't need in this case so that i can render very fast.
2. most apps have things like world or environment that are rendered as a background. for example i have a photo of the sky at night and i want it to be rendered behind an object i have modeled in houdini. how can i do it? ( without compositing of course)

hi thanks silv but i don't think it is the case, i did what you said and as i had expected it didn't work. the problem is not just the buttons it is the speed it takes so long to get to that buttonless houdini. other programs function well as usual it is just houdini that is so slow and last year it used to work very fast. it's strange.

hi houdini used to work properly on my system last time i used it(nearly 6 months ago). i had tested versions 9.5 and 10. i had installed and uninstalled it like a million times and every time it worked well. but today that i installed it on the same pc with the same windows that i used to work before houdini was so slow loading that after waiting for a long time all i got was what you see in the screenshot below. i even reinstalled my windows but nothing changed.
:cry:
what's wrong?

hi everybody.
three things things:
1. is mantra going to be any faster in h11? and how much.
2. suppose we have a very simple scene. a grid and a sphere on it and a light. there is no texture no material. nothing. how can i render this scene FAST? really FAST.
3. how can i have a sky in the background? i mean all renderers have this world which is kind of the background in the render. how can i have this effect in houdini?

hi everybody
i haven't been round for 4 to 5 months. at that time there were very little tutorials on shading and rendering. today i had a look at the “learning material” page and i realized that many things have changed. are they as good as they seem? do they cover 50% of shading and rendering?
