Greetings all.

I am attempting to follow the Houdini 16.5 shading master class. I must have watched this video at least 30 times and I still cannot manage to get the setlayerexport node to produce color values in the standard images planes of basecolor and/or specrough.

I have a bindExport node set to "export_basecolor". This works when I don't have the material hooked up to a layer mix.

I found there are two setlayerexport nodes. the 2.0 seems to be just a merge node. The original seems to match what is used in the masterclass but I cannot get the data into the layer for rendering the basecolor image plane.

The docs on this are rather scant so any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

FYI I got this working. the problem was with using a deforming volume based collision. Vellum seems to really want surface based collisions. My mothodology was off. I was trying to fix the sim,but I should have been fixing the collisions. Once penetrations and clipping was resolved everything worked great!

Hello!

I am trying to deepen my understansing of vellum by building the solver netowork myself. I have hit is very enfuriating sustuation were my character litterally walks out of her pants.

When I use the sop based solver this dosn't happen. I am sure I am missing something but it seems most things I have tried are giving me the same result.

I am using an almebic cache for the collider, and cloth geometry brought in from Marvelios Designer. I am using an collision source node to generate a vdb for collisions, and using a staticObject set to “Use Volume Collision” and “Volume Sample” for division Method.

Here is what I am getting



I am amlost 100% sure I am missing something here I just don't know what it is.

Any help would be appriciated.

Cheers,
