I know this is a noob question, but that is why i am here In the Compositing-Animation tutorial videos, the user selects the curves past the keyframes and types in “repeat(1,10)” the cycles the animation curves. In Houdini 6.1, I am trying to do the same and cannot select the curves past the keys. I have looked everywhere for a toggle but cannot find anything that works. Did Side Effects rid Hodini of this great feature, or am I missing something? ops:

Hi there,

Yes, Houdini has changed since that video. Prior to Houdini 6.0, Houdini will add keyframes to the first & last frame of the frame range. This is still available as an option if you want to make Houdini work like the video but I won't recommend it.

The solution is to add another keyframe after the last which will then allow you to select the curve like the video & type in the expression.

Have fun!

Cheers!

thanks man. they shoulda kept that on there, that was a cool feature

Hey,

The feature goes both ways. For new Houdini users, they keep wondering why the object keeps moving after setting the “last” keyframe.

And you're welcome!

Cheers!
