Hi Everybody,

Having a problem.
How can i limit a parameter into perticular range. Suppose I have a box, and i want to limit the Y pos in the range -10 to 10. I am not doing any procedral animation. I want to manually move the box up and down, but it should remain in the range. Basically what I want is simillar to Maya Limits.
Is there a GUI for this, or have to use clamp function or clamp CHOP.
And keep in mind, I WANT TO MOVE THE BOX IN VIEWPORT MANUALLY AND KEEP IT INSIDE THE RANGE AT THE SAME TIME.


Thanking in advance.

In your channel you can do something like,

clamp(cubic(),-10,10)

And that will prevent any keyframed animation from going past -10,10….

The object will stay within the range but the handle won't, which may or may not be a big deal.

It sounds like a good RFE though that hadles respect limits. no?

Aye. Personally I would love to see handles get a nice little over-haul. Being able to bind expressions to handles would be nice. (That way you could clamp it, etc.)

Pie in the sky would be some tools that would let the users build their own handles, which would be really handy for digital assets.

Defo, blue sky sure, but the first thing I thought off when Houdini first got handles. HOPs

hmmmmm beer, friday….. pub….. bye!

Hi Everybody……..

Thanks for your Reply..

I found something. I don't know , if you knew this before.

For limitting parameters, on an OTL, you can give Lower and Upper Range in parameter properties window of OTL.
This is used for limitting sliders in OTL. But this is just for reference. This is not true rescricting. But there are two LOCKS near the range boxes.
I don't know why, but I hadn't locked them. By Locking them, you can rescrict them to a range, even in the view port. This is new to me.

But still, complete problem is not solved. You can do this with OTL, but not with normal object.

If u know, tell me.

Thanking in advance.
