Hi everyone,

Recently I've watched the ZDepth sidefx VTM concerning Deep raster but as far as ther is no Houdini 5.5 anymore (I'm using 7.0.102) - I couldn't find Z Comp COP in COPs. On the other hand, there's nothing said about the fact whether Z Comp COP was obsolete or not in the ‘help’.

The question is - if it's obsolete - are there any ‘similar’ COPs allowing you to work with the ‘P’ data of the Deep Raster images?

Thanks.

Zcomp was probably just missing from that cut. It's in the version I'm running(7.0.139). I know there was some overhauling done in the comp pipeline to get 16 bit in there, so I suspect Mark needed to convert some COP by COP…

Cheers,

J.C.

Thanks, J

the sad thing is that I spent about 5 hours trying ti figure out what should I use instead of that missing Z Comp COP… damn.

BTW, - don't u know when we'll be able to download the newer build? (not 7.0.102)

Thanks.

Oh gawd they don't tell me anything… Last I heard it would be soon, but they couldn't say when. I can understand it - some of the recent releases have had no working mplay, non-existent docs, etc. It really wouldn't serve much purpose releasing those to the open beta - it would just fill the forum with “this is busted” posts. I think they're waiting for a good, solid release…and the bug fixes are flying fast and furious right now…

Cheers,

J.C.
