Houdini Lounge » Karma motion blur

Another tip - Currently, Shutter Open/Close on the camera node will affect motion blur when you render to disk but doesn't affect motion blur in the viewport. These kinds of details are why Karma is still in beta.

One advantage of using USD files for your sequences is that you don't need the cache node to get motion blur to work.

There is blur in the file now that I added the render geometry settings node which lets you assign motion blur and time samples - since you animated at the geometry level you need Geometry Time Samples - if you were animating at the xform level then Transform Time Samples would work.
The key is to make sure this node is assigned directly to the primitive. Then it works.

If you convert back to polygons after the carve it works - the conversion to bezier seems to knock things off. You might also want to fuse points from the different curves so the poly wire can branch.

The attached video shows how to handle this - You can move the pivot point on the polyextrude handle to the end of the selected edge either using the RMB menu as shown in the video or you can press the INSERT key to detach - snap the handle to the endpoint and INSERT again to extrude with snapping now set up in the correct location.

Houdini Lounge » Note to convert deleted! when creating an asset

If you can zip up your project directory and post it then I can look at what might have gone wrong.

Since the project directory has been defined, both $JOB and $HIP will join to the same subdirectory. That shouldn't be your issue. I have encountered this from time to time with the asset menu but haven't been able to repeat the problem in a way that I can report it as a bug.
Another approach is to Select the nodes, put them into a subnetwork in the Node view then RMB-click on the subnetwork and choose “Create Digital Asset” - if that doesn't work then I'm not sure what the issue is.

I am thinking that the version you like is an unlocked version of the asset and the one you don't is a locked asset. Maybe you have edits in the unlocked asset that haven't been saved to the asset definition. If you RMB-click on the unlocked asset and choose “Save node Type” or select the asset and use “Asset > Save Asset >…” then the changes will become part of the definition and the locked asset will pick up the new look. Then it will work in UE4 as well.

When you are in the view tool then you don't need spacebar to use hotkeys in the viewport - if any other tool is active (select, move, rotate etc) then you need to put spacebar in front of F and G. I find it easiest to always use spacebar for view hotkeys as a habit.
When in the view tool (which is invoked when the spacebar key is pressed) there are some buttons in the top bar the let you change the tumble method without going to preferences.
The default “Set Pivot” method tumbles around whatever geometry you click on which could yield strange results if you have a large piece of geometry that goes off to the distance - if you click in empty space when you tumble then you will use the last pivot used (which may or may not make sense). If you use “Keep Pivot” then you may need to home the view (spacebar - H, F, G) to “reset” the pivot before tumbling.

“Spacebar-n” while hovering over a viewport will put your focus on that viewport. If you are in the View tool then you only need “n”
In the bottom right of the Scene view panel, you can click on the button with four squares - if all four are highlighted then view options will affect all four - if only one is highlighted then the viewport with the focus gets the option changes.
