Hey Zeng Chen thanks a lot, but I could not manage to implement your solution.
I may misunderstand your question, sorry about my English, I have misunderstood some questions already…

primuv will interpolate the specified attr of points / vertices on this prim, based on the intrinsic uv of prim.
Attribute Inpterpolate SOP is a integrated SOP that contain primuv function to interpolate specified attrs from source prim.

My English is not good, so I have no ability to explain that what is the intrinsic uv of a prim.
May be there are some topics have talked about it already.

This is not a handle but a geo guide.
You could link the shape at “Guide Geometry” under the “Node” tab (so not the “Handles” tab)
But in this way, the guide will disappear when you select other node.
I find another method to always show the guide – give the shape a output node

Icons size is pretty small though. I guess there's no way to change the default size
I also wonder if there are some ways to scale the icon. It's tooooooo small…

Zeng, could you share the hip file by any chance? or just the code to make this reference to icon.

Here's the hip file.
The Labels will be used as tooltips when the user hovers over an icon.
So I casually give some number to Labels at this case.

I can not understand the help of “Make a icon strip parameter”


I tried to use .ico format image, it doesn't work.
And now, I am using .png format image, it works…

C4D's Range Mapper in Xpresso also can be rebuild in Houdini, likes Maya's “link with” add a Ramp.
It's a case - If the cube rotates from -180 to +180, the sphere will raise from 0 to 5…

Though I come from C4D, I always appreciate high-efficiency black-box in C4D, most people only want a efficient tool.
I recreated many C4D tools in Houdini for convenience.

And I only be interested in R20's modified motion graphic module, want to see more videos about it. (New sound effector in R19 is amazing)

I have watched some simple demos and introductions about R20's field of mograph.
It can be rebuild in Houdini by Group Create SOP (keep in Bounding Regions) and xyzdist VEX func.
Just like attribute transfer SOP (but this SOP use metaball to calculate the transfer dist)

At last, I do like the appearance of R20's shader node.

tamte
lookat is quite old node/function and it seems to be based on the idea around camera look at constraint

since camera x-axis points right y-axis up, then in right handed coordinate system z-axis points back
so the forward camera direction is negative z (so -z)

i am suddenly enlightened…thanks a lot

Thanks a lot for the info and specially for the file zengcheng 01. It was really useful work with it in the Vex form.

But my initial questions are still open:

1st: The rotation defined in the theory works like this:
(RotMatrix)x(Vector) as we can see in any Algebra book.


for the first question:
the vector in Houdini has three columns but not three rows…

Look at function:
http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/vex/functions/lookat.html [www.sidefx.com]

the target's new z-axis = normalize(vector from - vector to)
(I do not know why it is (from - to) but not (to - from)…)
if you use vector up, the target's new x-axis = normalize(cross(vector up, vector new z-axis))

Cross product function:
http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/vex/functions/cross.html [www.sidefx.com]

look at function is similar to the first maketransform function:
>>> matrix3 maketransform(vector zaxis, vector yaxis)

there is a parameter called ‘single pass’ in foreach end node
it can let you control which iteration will be displayed
gif… [i.imgur.com]

Besides, i do not work well with detail function…
oh. it is ‘details’ to get string value, i miss ‘s’…

Finally, i really recommend you to watch Ari Danesh's tutorial [vimeo.com], there are some useful info about font and foreach node…
