Is there any tutorials out there with CG simulation integration? For example, a live action shot with CG tank rolls by leaving displace tracks or CG character walking leaving footprints tracks behind.

Here is an example of a car shot with cloth sim in a live action shot. Is there any training out there to learn this FX? My guess this artist created a rough model of the cloth ground from locators, cloth sim, and then texture project after cleanplate. What is the workflow to pull off this type of CG integration?

nodes = hou.selectedNodes()
for idx,item in enumerate(nodes):
updateitem = item.parm(“RS_objprop_ID”).set(idx)

Thanks Anthony! This code works pretty well. I agree that there is probably a better way is doing this. But for now, this will work.

Thanks a lot!

I was watching a video from Greyscalegorilla in creating Redshift custom AOVs for control in the composite. About half way through the video, he made a sequential numbering for the object IDs based on the selected objects with an expression. I was wondering how to do this same task in Houdini to create a sequential numbering to change the object IDs for the objects in Houdini. This would be nice to know since I would not have to manually set each and every object for the object ID to have a matte in Redshift.
