Hi..

I was trying to through the old school CHOP lecture/blog and I hit a problem.

You see, I own/use Hescape and I am unable to find the Channel SOP or the
Channel CHOP. Am I crazy or are these tools missing from Hescape, which
is supposed to have CHOPS as indicated on the Products/Escape page.

I guess the without installing Apprentice Master I will never know what else
is missing.

I guess that tutorial is of no value to me in its current form. More RnD for me I
guess.

Any ideas….?

Thanks.
Tom

The channel Sop should be there, but you are likely looking for something like the Fetch, Rename or Export Chop. No such thing as Channel chop.

I think all CHOPs are only included starting in Houdini 8.2.

Ed's right. All CHOPs are now available in H8.2.

Hi guys and thanks for the reply…

Jeff, did I “hear” you say 8.2, the latest I have access to is 8.1.893 64bit Linux daily build.

I guess will have to wait a bit longer, unless 8.2 never makes it out before 9.

Thanks again for the heads up.
I guess I'm still a little stuck, without a bit more RnD on my part. :roll:

Now to figure out why weight paint always crashes in 64bit linux. :evil:

H8.2 should be available imminently. It is wip.

Thanks Jeff..
That's great news..

Maybe you missed the press release?

That's great news..

Thanks Edward

Now I can start saving for Master…

That article was dated July 21, 2006? Did I missed something?

I think that's an old copy/paste. Thanks for noticing.
