Hi guys,

I'm trying to drive a digital asset's transforms using chops which are inside the network work.

everything works fine until i connect a parameter of the digital asset to the chops network (which i guess causes some dependency problem for houdini)

now the transform channels still update in the in the parameter editor, but not in the viewport. if i save the scene at a specific time and save and re-open it, it also updates in the viewport.

any way control a chops network using parameters on the digital asset AND also drive the digital asset's transforms with those chops?

in the example i'm posting i've just created a subnet with a “Wave Amplitude” parameter, which is connected to a wave chop inside the network, that wave chop then exports to the subnet's translate channels.

in this example it's even weirder, it only doesn't work if i save the scene with the amplitude parameter is at 0, to see the effect open the scene, change or animate the parameter and hit play, nothing happens in the viewer
