Hello guys has anybody tried Houdini Indie with Arnold ? I just installed latest version for Houdini 15.5.480 but I can't make it work, when I start a render it returns the error “Error while writing ass files”. I tried to write on Htoa mailing list but they can't reproduce the problem, anyone experienced the same problem or can help me ?
Thank you
Ray

Ok I think I got it, I connected an unpack sop node, then a convert sop (to convert from poly soup to poly), and finally a normal sop because subdivided model resulted faceted. A bit complicated for having a subd preview in the viewport, in Maya you just need to press “3” …

I'm following the tutorial Go Procedural - M06 | First Steps | Understanding Attributes & Variables (https://vimeo.com/41727309) [vimeo.com]
Great tutorial, everything is ok but I don't understand one thing. I use a Break SOP, which returns two detail attributes (0 and 1) that I can use with connectivity and partition SOP's to divide the shapes. The question is: where can I see the two detail attributes created by the Break SOP ?
If I middle click on the break node I can see “1 detail attribute: varmap” but if I open the Spreadsheet I can't see them.
Thank you

Anyway I need to use it just to see subdivision in the scene view, during rendering it works fine using Mantra subd at rendertime

Thank you Jacob, the file is very useful, great.
Very similar to Maya ramp, what I miss is the parameter “type” that creates various types of ramps like circular, radial, tartan, etc. and is very useful sometimes I create pupils of the characters just with a circular ramp and three or four colors, and then I animate it using uv coordinates. I'm pretty sure in Houdini it's possible to achieve this and much much more, I have to study a lot !

Thank you for your reply Jeff, I have tried using unpack node but it still doesn't work. Strange is Mantra subdivision at rendertime works fine without unpack. Maybe I'm doing something wrong importing the alembic file ? I just create a geo node, delete what's inside, create an Alembic node and import the abc file.

Hello guys I don't understand why if I apply a subdivide node to a poly sphere it gets subdivided, if I connect the same subdivide node to an Alembic file geometry it doesn't work … it happens the same with other nodes, for example the uvedit node, on the sphere it works, on Alembic it doesn't. Anyone can help ?
Thank you

Hello guys, just started learning Houdini coming from years of Maya, I hope it's not a dumb question but is there an equivalent procedural texture in Houdini like the Maya “ramp” ?
