Yaay! Finally made it! Had my last day of a 4 Week Crunch on friday so getting started on a quick and dirty scene was so relieving.
Messiest scene I have created in a very long while ^^ Hope you like it.
Cheers - Ole


Here's the link to a little walkthough video of the scene.

Heileif
Procedural can use !resetXformStack! on the xformOpOrder, then it will ignore all parent transforms.

Have been using it on hundreds of shots with the hair procedural.

Works like a charm! Thank you so much.

Good morning

We're currently getting our Solaris + Feather pipeline up and running.

Our turntable setup is currently applying a transform to the root primitive of our asset.
Unfortunately, it seems that the transform is being applied twice to our feather procedurals.

Our assumption is that the procedural is evaluated last, and as a result, it generates the feathers based on the already transformed groom primitives, while also inheriting the transform from the root primitive.

As a quick fix, we inverted the transform and applied it to all procedurals (%type(HoudiniProceduralAPI)).
Another Idea

It would be great to know if there's a more elegant solution or some best practices to this.

Cheers,
Ole
