it's called sbd(soft body) pin constraint because it is used for wires as well
the names Cloth Pin Constraint and Wire Pin Constraint are there only for tidiness, that's how i see it

there is one disadvantage of squishy object over cloth for softbody sim
sqishy objects are simulated as particles and i think you can't get mutual collisions between two sq objects
so if you need only ball/ground collision go for squishy object
if you need ball/ball collision, it probably won't work in one simulation, but there may be some workaround i am not aware of

try to play with the bend stiffness
set it really high and you should get some softbody look
or use the squishy object

not exactly
xb will read x-th primitive of the input surface (NURBS/bezier) and position the curve point to u-th breakpoint in u direction and v-th breakpoint in v direction
pn will position the curve point directly to point number n (polygon/curve)
i am not the master in this subject, i just opened help and tried it in a simple scene to see what it does, so it may be something deeper under the surface what i am not aware of

from the docs: "xb : For example, 0b…. Creates a point at breakpoint (u,v) of the surface number x in the input geometry."
so the are not the uv parameters of the input surface, they are IDs of breakpoint in u/v direction
thats probably what b in xb means, breakpoint

here is the render from that file, i don't know if it's what you want, but it's matting the background objects by texture alpha

What decompression software does that need? I've never seen that file format before. Is that for linux? Can you compress it for mac or windows?
no compression
it's a regular .hip file you need only houdini to open this
created on H9.5.231, WinXP 32
do you have any problems opening it?

are we talking about hscript?
actually != means not equal
i do not know if !! means something
but || means OR if that is what you are looking for
in VEX it should be the same and there are many more operators, but we have help for this, right?

ray SOP is good, but you must know exact directions in which you want to measure (defined by point normal)
you can also use Intersect VOP for the same thing (may be faster since VOPs are multithreaded, do not know about ray SOP)
if you want to measure minimum distance from point to surface
use pointdist() expression function (search the docs for usage)
if you use it in attribcreate SOP and vary the point with $PT, you will get all closest distances to given surface. This may be a lot slower since it is an expression
i really miss something like this in VOPs
ps: you can use distance() function instead of your initial expression

Technical Discussion » ogl texture per primitive?

i am trying to display texture in the viewport based on primitive attribute
i have tried material node with parameter override on ogl_tex1 parameter
it does not work
i also tried to create string attribute ogl_tex1 with file paths
does not work either
UV Quickshade cannot accept attribute variables
and creating texture attribute to override UV quickshade's Texture param gives me nothing
is there any way to make it work?
i do not want to render during tweaking, because i have to tweak the whole animation timing and composition which consists mainly of changing primitives with different textures
thanks for any info

i am animating some parameters on nodes at SOP level
i have set autoscope on them
but when I select the node no parameters are added to my channel editor
I do not want to promote all needed parameters to OBJ level
because i need to prepare some SOP Digital Assets with animations inside
is this not working on purpose because it is expected to animate at OBJ level?
I can live without it, but if anybody knows how to get it to work, or that it should work please let me know

… Try adding "" to the string (i.e. opobj/geo1/foo becomes opobj/geo1/foo…
can't get it to work, it still evaluates only the first position
