Houdini Indie, no support for exporting .ass 2 years, 3 months

Nick Deboar

Hey, I'm a sole trader, and I was really interested in moving to Houdini Indie + HtoA. I use online render farms like Zync for rendering, which currently only support direct rendering of .ass files, there is no support currently for HtoA nativity. Not having .ass export support is a bit of a deal breaker for me then. Is there any plans for this to change? Ta, Nick Deboar ------------------------------ www.nickdeboar.com m +61 435887248

Flip collision in normal direction only? 2 years, 3 months

Nick Nimble

Hi Dominik, How about splitting it into two simulations? You can source the fluid from your desired location outside the sphere, when particles collide with the sphere you kill them. Then in SOP's you build a new source from the particles that die on the current frame, but slightly displaced by the normal of the sphere, so they are inside. Then in the second simulation you can source from those points and have this fluid collide with the inside of the sphere. The cool thing about this, is that it can work in any situation with any piece of enclosed geometry :-) Cheers, Nick, be Nimble -- 2014 the year where things become clearer -- +31 622 4243 94 | www.nicknimble.com | www.facebook.com/nicknimble On 24/02/14 13:30, Dominik wrote: > Hey list, > > Is it possible to make flip collide but only from the normal direction. Let me explain. Ie: I want to pour liquid from the outside of a sphere, but when the liquid enter the sphere, I want it to start colliding with the sphere interior. > > I'm thinking about giving a group to particles inside the collision object and use this group in my static object. But I'm not sure it will work because the collision is apply to the flip object and not per particle. I will try some ideas today, but if you think to a solution, let me know. > > Thanks > > Doum > _______________________________________________ > Sidefx-houdini-list mailing list > Sidefx-houdini-list at sidefx.com > https://lists.sidefx.com:443/mailman/listinfo/sidefx-houdini-list

It's all in the title. What do you use or recommand for the heavy sims task ? 4 core very high Ghz ? Many cores low Ghz ? i7 / Xeon ? Single ? Dual? Gpu / openCL ? If you have some good reference for the cpu or a site with some fast configuration I'm all ears. Thank you :)

randomly clumping values problem 2 years, 4 months

Tim Fagan

Hi?everyone, I'm trying to randomly distribute a set of?attribute values?on scattered?points, but avoid?clumping values?in the same area. So it's for crowd attributes, like clothing colors, and?I want to avoid people with the same coloured clothes next to each other. At the moment it's basically using a 'random' function but there's probably a better way to do this? Or a way to post-process the values to fix for clumping? Any tips on how to go about this? cheers Tim

Changing Point Count, Alembic, Arnold, Motion Blur, No SOuP. 2 years, 4 months

Meng-Yang Lu

Hi List, Looks like an oldie but goodie. I've a VDB mesh with changing point count exporting out as Alembic to Maya/Arnold. I see that some are exporting the velocity to Cd then using SOuP to feed the data into a colorSet so Arnold can read this. Is there any other way or am I boned? What's the "proper" way of doing this aside from writing your own cache format? Thanks in advance, -Lu

VDB transform intrinsic 2 years, 4 months

Vincent Fortin

Hi, Does anyone know if it's possible to set a VDB's primitive intrinsic transform in VEX or in any other way? I can lay down a Transform SOP and see the values changing but can't modify it the same way I usually do with packed primitives. Thanks!
