Hi. I am a Houdini noob trying to learn from online tutorials. I am doing a tutorial for creating a rain shot for a film I am working on. The tutorial calls for a 'Blast' node but, no such node seems to exist. What is an appropriate substitute for the 'Blast' node?
Thanks!

How do I edit .rat files? Are they a proprietary image file that can't be edited outside of Houdini? I have already confirmed that Photoshop can't touch them.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Well, I'll be damned, in the video, he spells 'patches' with a lowercase 'p' when it should have been an uppercase 'P'. That's what was throwing me for such a loop this whole time. Man, I wish there was a way to contact SideFX and let them know this. But, being an 'Indie' user, no tech support for me. What can I say? I'm still going to try though.
Thank you very much for fixing that for me. Wow, that was frustrating.

Thank you so much for your help. I deeply appreciate it.
I thought it might be something like that. I didn't know those '!' actually had information in them, I thought they were just like any other warning sign, did not understand what it was telling me. Remember, I am just starting out. Obviously, the tutorial needs to be updated to reflect this change. I noobie like me would have no way of figuring this out on his own. So, using 'primitive angle,' and the code, 'f@Patches = @primnum' is something I would have had no clue about. That's my frustration.

Thanks, Konstantine, for your response.
I used that node. It had all of the same settings as the 'foreach loop' node and I made absolutely certain I had all of the settings identical to the video but, instead of the ball showing at the 'foreach_end1' node, the ball just does not show at all. This brings me to a dead stop. I have re-done this part of the tut quite a few times and keep getting the same result. Any thoughts?

Hi. I am a complete noob to Houdini. I am running on H19 Indie.
I have been attempting to complete the Soccer Ball and the Wine Glass tuts. Unfortunately, I am getting stuck on both of them because the videos and even the .pdfs call for nodes that do not exist in Houdini v19.
A perfect example is the Soccer Ball tut where the video calls for a 'for-each loop'
but, there is no for-each loop node. There are a number of other 'for each' nodes
but, none of them work for the tutorial and I can't find anything about what is the proper replacement node that I should be using instead.
I'm having a similar problem with the Wine Glass tut. In this case, both the video and the .pdf call for nodes that don't seem to exist anymore.
I'm very frustrated.

Technical Discussion » Bullets through glass with shattering constraints

Hi, I am brand new to Houdini Indie/Apprentice. I have chosen, after many years of being too intimidated to take on Houdini due to its node graph. But I now have a project that needs it.
I have picked up a job that requires me to have bullets shot through car windshield glass. Therefore, the area of shattering needs to be constrained to a roughly circular area, not the entire windshield. There will be three bullet hits in total.
I also have a flocking shot with a bunch of pigeons taking off and flying away.
Thirdly. I have a shot with two guys falling through a glass door from a second or third story apartment and hitting the ground below. This is the most complex shot as it involves bullet physics, cloth physics, and rigged characters that are directable.
Can somebody please point me towards some tutorials/training that will get me to the point that I can do these shots?
Thanks!

Is it possible to configure Houdini to work fully with a two-button mouse? It seems almost nobody makes a “classic” three-button mouse anymore (the couple I have found are real, low-end corded models), they all have a scroll wheel that doubles as the mmb and, in general, are a serious PItA. Besides, what I really want to do is run the Apple Magic Mouse. (Running on a Mac Pro).
Thanks.
