Smoke preview is always very white compare to tutorial 2024年1月8日15:53
I am following amazing tutorial from Nine Between (this episode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7_B-BA6C1o)
and I've noticed that my smoke (I believe I use version 20 where is tutorial uses 19) is very saturated and very white compared to host's.
I can see that in the video they had a big variety of shades of grey even before they got to pyro bake volume (24 min mark). I wasn't sure why I always saw pretty much white.
I double checked what type of attributes I get from all the attribute noise nodes
and they are all around 1.
Not sure if it is relevant troubleshooting/evidence of anything, but when I set a smoke color in pyro bake volume to ramp and use "compute range" button at different timesteps I can see that max density value is growing over time. So, on frame 3 it is 15 on range 24 it is 132 and frame 60 it is 136 only. When I do that I can see graduation of the color.
I guess my Q is am I doing something wrong? Or that's just natural for version 20 to behave this way compare to host in tutorial on version 19? And second question - where is that 136 max density value comes from when I use automatic range detection in ramp of pyro bake volume?
I've attached .hipnc file

Alright. Amazing people at sidefx support helped me out. In case anyone gets into the same situation the problem was with preferences folder that was for some reason created with root permission:
So, I killed the folder and started Houdini again, and now it's

Good news. Might be important to diagnose the problem - I've installed version 19.5.833 and it starts up fine.
