Ah, okay thanks!

I am not willing to switch to H13 until I finish this project.

I will just switch to the Windows Machine for Rendering then.


Thanks so much!

Hey Guys,

I am with Houdini on my super fancy new macbook.
(15“ with Intel Iris Pro Graphics)

When I try to render in the render view, Things turn out ”red".
After this happening even some icons turn red.

Render into Mplay works just fine…

Any Ideas on what is going on?
Restart of either Houdini or the whole system doe not change it…


Thanks so much in advance!

Hey thanks man!

I didn't switch it to active viewport, just changed the view!

Thanks so much! So stupidity it was then…

Hey everyone,

Maybe I am stupid, I don't know, yet my problem:

I create a new scene and have several image Planes I want to use for modeling.

I Press “D” -> Background -> And Set an Image Plane.
I make sure that “Apply Operation to all Split views” ist turned off and yet it always changes in all views?
Is that a bug, or am I overlooking something way to obvious?!? I am very sorry if I am…

Thanks in advance!!

Hey there!


I've got another question…

The Tutorial says I should set in the DisplayOptions Lighting to “High Quality Lighting”. When I do that, every Geometry turns black. Only in “Headlight Only” and “No Lighting” Mode I can see geometry.

Do I miss something?
I have an area light in the scene. Everything renders fine.

That makes sense.
Thanks for the answer!

Just out of curiosity as a beginner:

Why would you want to do that?
Isn't HoudiniFX like Houdini plus all the fun stuff?

Or is Houdini “Basic/Escape” offering some features I do not know of?

It surely does!

Thanks so much!
I should have found that one myself… ops:

Thanks!

The cookie SOP problem is now completely solved.


The other issue I still do not get the hang of…
The 0.5 seems not to be the issue. And I think that should be the value he should use, if does not know what to do, but hes is ignoring that aswell…

I appended the file.

Again thanks so much in advance!

Hey everyone.

As so many, I am new to the whole subject and right now I am trying to get around the first steps series. I love them, they are great, but some things just don't work out…

So I thought I might start an help thread for me.

But lets get to the questions:

1. Is there somesome kind of console that tells me where exactly Houdini can't follow what I am asking him to do?

To be more precise:
in M07 In the beginning Ari shows how to color objects using a ramp. It does not work for me and I really, really can't find my mistake.

This is the code I use:
chramp(“rColor”, stamp(“../copy1”,“shClr”, 0.5) 0) on R
chramp(“rColor”, stamp(“../copy1”,“shClr”, 0.5) 1) on G
chramp(“rColor”, stamp(“../copy1”,“shClr”, 0.5) 2) on B

The ramp is inside the same point SOP node.
Stamp Inputs are activated. The switching thing works fine.

So is there a point where Houdini is telling me what he is not getting?


2.
Second Problem I had with the cookie operator (why is it called like that?)

It kinda keeps the tubes inside the candle holder, even though I set it to A-B.
I attached the file.


Thanks in advance!

ps I guess sooner or later I will come up with more questions…

For me as a beginner, coming from C4D, most of the SOP stuff is just fine, yet the whole lighting and shading, shader generation stuff just seems horribly crazy… I would love an in Depth Series on that.
