Hi,

It works for me on Windows 11. You can see it here:



I must say on some systems I had issues with Qt fullscreen. From what I know these stem from display drivers such as Intel drivers on some laptops.

Get ready to turbocharge your Houdini skills! We've just dropped a brand-new bonus chapter for Pragmatic VEX: Volume 1, packing an even bigger punch of advanced techniques to supercharge your VEX workflows. This extraordinary update offers unprecedented insights into unconventional performance optimizations that will make your complex networks fly.

The new content brings over 2 hours of video spanning 13 videos, taking the course duration to a staggering 15 hours of precision-crafted, expertly edited advanced VEX content. This isn't your run-of-the-mill course update - it's a knowledge explosion set to propel your Houdini capabilities to new heights!

This bonus chapter isn't just an addition to Pragmatic VEX: Volume 1, it's an exhilarating enhancement. Existing course holders gained immediate free access to this extra content as a special thank you for their loyalty. Furthermore, anyone purchasing the course from now on will also receive this bonus material, providing even more value. This is our commitment to continually bringing you the best in advanced VEX learning.

Enjoy the new trailer!

You can also use the Snippet VOP to call any VEX function not present as a VOP node.

I never needed to position the parameters pane overlay but I reckon it can be done with Python Qt scripting.

Similar to how I created the overlay network editor, you could create overlay parameters pane to be stuck to a network editor.

You can get some ideas here:

What node is that?

File Cache SOP handles file paths automatically by default:

The new File Cache SOP is supposed to handle subframes properly for read and writes.

Maybe it's because xyzw can be more intuitive for users who are familiar with working in 3D space. By placing the scalar part (w) at the end, the vector part (x, y, z) comes first, which can make it more consistent with other representations in 3D graphics such as vectors and points. But that's just my speculation.

It allows you to use SOPs in DOPs.

I think that can't be hidden unless you buy a full FX license. Only the FX license has no text there.

Hi,

You can loop over hou.node.parms() using Python HOM.

Attribute Promote SOP is the fastest method currently.

Thanks! That's exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for. Unfortunately, it causes me to insta-crash.

It shouldn't do that. Time to file a bug for SESI

Hi,

You can try this calling this Python function:

On a related note, is there a way to hide the playbar via Python? It's not in the pane list and I can't see to find anything obvious in the API. thanks!

Per SESI's comment this is not possible:

"I don't think we have any ability to hide the playbar at all, so there's nothing to add to HOM for this."

I filed an RFE for this #127072. So bump it up if you wanna see it in Houdini

Hi,

There is no way to do this per addprim VEX function:
https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/vex/functions/addprim.html [www.sidefx.com]

It doesn't support NURBS primitives. I have an RFE about this #124932

It's a common syntax in C style languages, now even languages like Python have the same syntax.

+= can be translated as "add whatever is to the right of the += to the variable on the left of the +=".

Find Shortest Path also works in my test:

There are a few things:

This code only selects edge loops using the connectivity of quad polygons.

The wrangle should be set to detail run over mode.

If the result is like in your screenshot, there is disconnected polygons in that region of your geometry.

So attaching the geo here would help to identify the issue.

This is very simple geometry. There are no disconnected polygons here. I noticed that the algorithm only needs quad polygons to work correctly. I noticed that the shortest path goes to the place with the triangle, it chooses the path where the quad polygon is.

I just tried your geometry, selecting the edge loops works as expected. Make sure to set the Run Over parameter to Detail.

Hi,

You can do it with this option:

Thanks for your reply, that's the method I'm using, but I want the selected item to have a tick mark to indicate it is selected like the Group node, is there any way to do that?

From what I know the checkmark only shows for single selection options, not the multi selection ones. So try using Replace ( Field + Single Selection Menu) option.
