Did you have any resolution with this? I'm trying to get it to work with 19.5 with no luck. I've got the paid version and have tried the Labs download as well as downloading from Exoside. I suspect its Python related (aren't all problems python related these days? ;-) but can't figure it out.

Just returning to Houdini after a long hiatus and the widespread use of python is pretty new to me. I understand that in a production pipeline python can be used to great effect but I'm wondering if it's worth the learning effort for a small (i.e. one man... aka me) studio like mine.
For example, I've figured out that the HScript call for a bounding box (i.e. bbox("../box1", D_YMAX)) is hou.node("../box1/").geometry().boundingBox().sizevec() in python.
What advantage is python for use like this primarily as expressions in nodes? To me, there is far greater complexity and risk of error over HScript (assuming most usage is simple like this)? Is HScript being completely deprecated?
I'm obviously missing and/or misunderstanding something. Essentially, I'm asking what is the real-world use of python and do I need to learn it?
Kind thanks,
Lonny

I've found that selecting the camera and re-adding the redshift CamParameters usually sorts it out.

den myos,
Make sure that your Top_curve carve sop is setup correctly - only firstv should be enabled and it should be at 0. Extract should be enabled.
Similar to what has been previously been say - make sure that you have spelled top_curve correctly in the centroid formula - but most importantly make sure that it is spelled the way you named your carve sop. (If you didn't rename the carve it will still be carve1)
