Hello everyone, I'm totally new using Houdini and I'm stuck.

So, I'm following this lesson from the site >> http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1846&Itemid=351 [sidefx.com]

But after I made the columns to circle and put the ball, the column keep falling. I've added ground too though. The ball didn't fall.

As you can see from the images bellow:







The ball didn't fall but the columns did. How can I solve this problem?

By the way, there's something bugging me. After I merge the column, actually there was one polysplit didn't get to merge with the column. Is it a problem?


Thank you very much!

If you post your hip file we can have a look at what's going wrong without having to follow the entire lesson.

Sorry.

Here is the file.

One thing that was not helping is the fact that the normals of your pilars were pointing inside, so the SDF creation wouldn't work well. Using Laser Scan on for the SDF creation helps to get better results as well.

Another thing that bugged me was the fact that the display of the collision guide geometry pushed the geometry off to the right and up a bit.
To figure out why i rebuild the dopnetwork without succes.
Switching to viewport H11 solved this so i'm assuming this is a display issue only.

Attached a version that is working more or less as expected.

How to switch it to viewport H11?

Thank you very much!

Edit–>preferences–>3DViewports–>Scene Renderer.

Thank you so much!!!

I need to learn more

i'm having the same problem as well.
Changing the renderer didn't didn't really change anything as well.D:
