I'm taking a few days to look at houdini for the first time.
I'm making my way through the totorials-in particular ‘wispy smoke’.
In Part 3 after Step 6.
I do not see the result I expect which is a few metaballs being driven
by particles (created at step 1). All the other steps seem to work fine till this point.
“Copy metaball to points
In the Viewer pane press tab > Copy and RMB-click twice to accept. Wire the output of the delete1 sop into the Template input of the Copy sop. Playback the results.”
They mean connect the ‘delete1’ output into the left side input port of the ‘Copy’ node correct? I do this but the metaballs don't move.
Ive repeated Part 3 several times now and i don't think i have whats expected (upon playback).
Is there anything obvious i am missing?
Maybe its some obscure display I've missed (thats easy to do)?
-thanks
