Hello, I'm pretty much brand new to COP's giving it a try for my compositing.
And I just can't figure out how to cache my entire timeline / video, so I can live playback my composition by pressing play?
I read about it in the documentation, but I just can't find any meaningful info on it.
If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know.
Thank you very much for your time and help, I really appreciate it.
PS. Dear Houdini Team, this is super unintuitive! You should be caching my timeline in the background by default, so I can press play and actually see my composited video.

Usual wireframe:

Wireframe in APEX animate state:
![](/forum/attachment/8680ab363301f06d66c49eaa2541511d47c35d38/)
Is it possible to make them more consistent? APEX's wireframe is so thick and bright that it obscure the viewport too much. But if I decrease the alpha to a point where APEX's wireframe looks good, the usual wireframe is basically invisible.

so the material is assigned with the above set up I figured out - the volume does not respond to any changes in the shader however. Both density and colour can only be changed on SOP level ...
would love to know what I'm doing wrong. could anybody explain how to drive density from the shader instead?
cheers

Hi!
Do you have enabled the "Tint Smoke Color with Cd" but you don't have a Cd volume grid with color information, and also might be a good idea to keep the density grid name as "density".

Solaris and Karma » H20.5 - Light Instances Overrides

Hi!
With the new light instancing workflow from H20.5, is it possible to override all the USD attributes from the light? I thought that only the color and the intensity were possible to override but thanks to another user I learned that in theory, other attributes should be possible to override too, like the spread or the exposure, the thing is, if I try to override the "height" or the "width" from a rectangle light, it is not working, maybe I'm missing a custom syntax for those cases? or what can I be missing to do this correctly?
![](https://i.imgur.com/94mZ4bP.jpeg)
For example, if I change from rectLight to disk, the radius attribute override is not working here either.
Let me know if I'm doing something wrong, thanks!

really appreciate you took the time, this allows me to study what I did wrong - didn't think the name attribute was already a wrong turn
many thanks again!
Solaris and Karma » layering camera projection on top of spherical projection
-

Hi all,
Is there a way to layer the camera projection on top of a spherical projection in Karma?
For plate integration shots, it's common to blend the projection of plate (from the shot render camera) and environment map (spherically projected from its survey position). I am able to achieve plate projection and spheical projection individually, but I couldn't figure out a proper way to layer one over the other.
Has anyone attempted this and gotten it working? A simple hip file would be highly appreciated.

Solaris and Karma » Per Object Motion Blur using Render Geometry Settings

Hiya!
I'm struggling to get per object motion blur to work in Karma. I've made a sample hip attached.
I've got two static spheres in a scene, the camera orbiting quickly around them, one of them I want blurred, the other I do not.
I've got two Render Geometry Settings nodes with the following settings:
- Enable Motion Blur enabled, Samples from Stage disabled, Tranform samples = 2 (enough to get blur)
- Enable Motion Blur disabled, Samples from Stage disabled, Tranform samples = 1 (i.e., do not blur)
In Karma I have Per Object motion on by default, and motion samples from stage enabled (thinking it will pick up the settings from my nodes above.
Alas both objects are blurred instead of just one!
Help greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Jayson

Confirmed it's a bug on OSX version - running on macbookpro M1 max.
I wouldn't say this is a bug, SideFX described it in the documentation. New COP requires vulkan viewport, but it is not implemented on macos. I also faced this problem
https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/news/20_5/viewport.html [www.sidefx.com]
- Native display of COP nodes in the Scene Viewer.
- The Vulkan viewport isn’t supported on macOS. MacOS uses the OpenGL viewport renderer.

Yes I did, it looks like it's the normal behavior, you need to close the file in VSCode so Houdini can pick it up!

Why do we need a special kind of wireframe for APEX? I asked SideFX support:
(real quote from SideFX)
Yeah, so if you deform the geometry with all the other thousands of tools in Houdini, you don't need to know how your geometry is deforming to avoid issues. Totally makes sense.![](/static/djangobb_forum/img/smilies/lol.png)
It's just random. Everything seems to be created at the whim of whichever programmer who happens to be in charge of the current task. Zero coherence.

Hey Edward. You reproduced it perfectly as far as I'm concerned. Good to know about the capybara.
BTW, the same with the apex toucan model for me.
And the same with the volatile 'S' selection, but that was reproduced by Support. Weird that no one filed bugs for these two so far.

Trying to make some sense of this...
Space F only frames the entire scene rather than the selected node
Using the viewport drop menu the Home selected and Frame selected entries work correctly - but only if the Handle mode is enabled!

That would be nice.
What bothers me even more, is the handles - too thick and tiny planar thingies to move in a plane. And the godforsaken glow effect on selected ctrls or handles (not Apex handles, they did this one right with the white color change) instead of solid color change, that plagues all Houdini viewport states, not just Apex, making everything you have selected hard to see and whether you've actually selected what you wanted.

Houdini Learning Materials » help. How to fracture imported mesh?
-
- kalron

I'm currently fracturing meshes that were built in other programs. What is the best way to have the fracture NOT separate the original mesh into it's component pieces?
For example, if I import the 'window frame' mesh and set the 'Force Total Count' of the 'Scatter' node to 2 and use the 'Voronoi fracture' node, it is not fracturing by 2, but is basically separating by more than the structure of the mesh.
I just want it to fracture by the number I set for the 'Force Total Count'.

Technical Discussion » Camera using world space rather than local space of object?

When inside a rotated geo node (like you would be if modelling) with the viewport set to "hide other objects" (so you can see what you're doing) camera tumbling goes into some weird local space thing, completely throwing off the normal camera behaviour. At object level I move my mouse left / right and the camera orbits left / right... Normal behaviour. Inside a rotated object I move my mouse left / right and the camera now orbits up and down. Physically nauseating behaviour.
I can see how orienting the camera to the local space of the object may be useful, but why can't camera movement be preserved.
I did put a feature request in for it but I'm not exactly hopeful.
cheers, and happy Friday!
