Hi,

Yes it will be available in a new post soon.

Hi, thank you for the quick update

I have some issue when trying to create nodes by using the multi-selection menu (for example in SOP, press H then C to create groupcombine node), the menu would show up but cant seem to create the node. Down below are error message from houdini console:

Hi,

I fixed that bug now.

Great update! Everything works except fn:displaySelectNearestNode(uievent, context) option. I have bounded to my 1 key and remove every other hotkeys in the hotkey editor but it does not seem to work. The other options are working like 2 3 4 but not display one. How can i fix it?

You can use the selectDisplayNearestNodeInEditorEnhanced function in utility_generic.

@animatrix
In the utility_ui I use "toggle Headlight normal light" in 20.5 alot.
Do you know how it has to be changed to work with H21 Work Lights?

Hi,

This should work:


The other types are listed here:

hou.viewportWorkLight.Headlight:
Single over-the-shoulder distant light.

hou.viewportWorkLight.Domelight:
Environment light with optional texture map.

hou.viewportWorkLight.PhysicalSky:
Outdoor lighting with a distant and environment map based on the sun position and atmospheric conditions.

hou.viewportWorkLight.ThreePoint:
Three distant lights set up in a classic three point lighting arrangement.

Thanks, man,

You are the best!
I was hoping to toggle between these two.
WorkLight or Scene Light.
Is that possible, too?

I think that's not possible because there is always some work light mode available. There is no off option. Even if the toolbar shows off, the work light still reports the current one used.
