Trouble rendering Oct. 22, 2024, 1:38 a.m.
There is a lot of information about how keys, scales {major, minor, pentatonic, diatonic, chromatic, etc.}, modes, and chords relate in one way or another.
I am working on a game in Unreal Engine that will initially teach a student how to recognize intervals and chords, both harmonic and melodic.
The game will play either a chord or a series of tones, after which it will show three panels containing a stave, a tab, and a textual representation. One panel will comprise four panes/choices, of which only one will be correct. The other two will have the correct answer in different forms. While playing the game, the player may connect the various representations and learn other skills.
Other skills taught will include where to find the notes on the fretboard, how to build chords, and how to create arpeggios. As I progress with my Python and Blueprints abilities, I will add more skill sets.
After I get the proof of concept working in Houdini and Python, I will port it to Unreal. Think of Rocksmith without all the fancy graphics. I will add practice routines when I figure out how to implement Fast Fourier transformations in Unreal.
Lots of plans, little time to work on them.

I need help with this File. I am unable to render the image created because mantra is unable to find the geometry.
I am working on a training aid for guitar novices, including myself. I still have a lot of coding to do.
I have tried rendering on three different machines. Two have indie licenses, and one has an apprentice. They all display the geometry, but none render.
I don't know what is wrong.

Houdini and chatGPT March 23, 2023, 3:19 a.m.
I was checking out chatGPT, asking it to do different things like create a meal using foods found in the wild. Write a python script to find duplicate files on a hard drive and other things when I got the idea to have it create a scene in houdini using python. I gave it this prompt:
write a hython script that generates 20 cubes in random locations in sidefx houdini
This is what it gave me
In Houdini, Python scripts can be executed through the Python Source Editor or saved as a Python module. Below is a Python script that creates 20 cubes (boxes) with random locations in Houdini using the Houdini Python API (Hython):
Copy and paste the script into the Python Source Editor in Houdini and click the "Apply" button. This will generate 20 cubes at random locations within the specified coordinate range.
This machine does not have Houdini installed, so I cannot view the output.
Just thought I would pass it on.
BTW it seems that chatGPT understands other 3D applications, including POVRay. Who would have guessed?
