It rendered once after the OS X update..after I found out here I had to launch houdini from the terminal or else I would get cannot connect to hserver license or something close. I tried typing hindie ..but now it's asking to update my server to 13.547

Same as the poster above..it worked once for me after upgrading OS X ..I couldn't connect to the server after some research I see I have 2 server names or something like that, one has a .home extension the other has .local extension I have to versions I updated houdini to 13.547 it is also asking me to update my server to 13.547 which is currently running on my Mac (new to all this stuff so forgive me) how do I do that? Houdini still runs from terminal just fine just no Mplay. Didn't have anyof these problems before upgrading to yosemite

Hey guys i'm new to houdini i've been playing around in it for 2 weeks now and i created a smoke sim moving toward the camera. I used a box as an emitter and changed the dimensions, basically making it rectangular, then i dropped down a volcano from the shelf tools..i wanted to experiment with that instead of using billowy smoke. I've tried as much as what is within my knowledge of houdini ..which is not a lot to get this sim to not look so blurry. At 640x388 the sim looks good, but at 1080p the sim looks blurry..I've tried playing with the camera settings, i played with the settings in mantra, i turned up the pixels i've tried sharpening in the pyro solver..with just slightly better results. I've included the hip file and a screenshot. i have the full fx version. not apprentice. Can one of you Masters help me? My eyes is glued to this forum for help so i'll respond very quickly

HI, GUYS I'M VERY NEW TO HOUDINI. I WAS FOLLOWING A TUTORIAL ON HOW TO CREATE A DUST STORM, BUT I GOT STUCK ON HOW TO MAKE THE SMOKE/DUST SIM MOVE TOWARD THE CAMERA ON THE X AXIS. THE TUTOR IN THE VIDEO USED A SOURCE APPLY NODE IN HIS AUTODOP HE RENAMED ‘DUST SIMULATION’. IN HIS SOURCE APPLY NODE HE RIGHT CLICKED ON THE X AXIS BOX THEN WENT INTO MOTION EFFECTS/NOISE, HE CHANGED THE NOISE TO ALLIGATOR AND CHANGED SOME OTHER SETTINGS IN THAT BOX TO GET THE SIM TO MOVE ON THE X AXIS. UNFORTUNATELY THIS TUTORIAL IS FROM 2011, HOUDINI 13 DOES NOT HAVE THE SOURCE APPLY NODE ANYMORE, SO NOW I'M STUCK ON HOW I CAN MAKE THE SIM MOVE TOWARD THE CAMERA OR ON THE X AXIS. CAN ANYONE HELP A NEWBIE? YOUR HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS
