Hi Everyone,
I am working on some assets that will be exported to 3DS max, in more details I have a piece of geometry and I use a facet node with the “unique points” option checked to separate each face, run a few ops on them and then export them.

After importing it in 3DS max I run a script that makes every face an instance to each other, and makes some transformations to keep them in position.

Here's the catch: when I do this with a model whose faces have been separated by the facet node, it doesn't work correctly (the faces rotate at a weird angle). If, instead, I usa a copy node and stamp some boxes on the points of the SAME geometry, it all works perfectly.

I believe the copy node does some automatic operations (I read something about the orient and up attributes) that corrects the orientation. I tried any sort of operation on normals with no luck - any clue about how I could make it work with the facet implementation as well?

Hi everyone,
I am trying to compile a HDK plugin I have found online (more precisely, the SOP_Dijkstra_Creator here: http://forums.odforce.net/index.php?/topic/14407-dijkstra-pathfinding-with-python/page__st__12 [forums.odforce.net], I have uploaded a copy here), but I am having some difficulties with the compiler itself.

The installation of VC2008 and the SDKs needed for compiling under Windows went fine as I can compile the SOP_Star example without problems using hcustom.

When I try to compile the aforementioned code, though, it tells me that it can't find the “GB/GB_ElementTree.h” among the includes - I've actually checked and in toolkit/include there's no GB folder at all. Why is that? Have they been deprecated? I've found no information online whatsoever.

Thanks for helping -

Hi, I am trying to achieve a simple glass falling and shattering to the ground, using hte “Make Breakable” option (aka the Voronoi Configure Object in the DOP network), and I have encountered a problem:

As you can see from the video, the pieces inherit the original “bouncy” collision response of the original, unshattered piece: this is incorrect and unrealistic, as I'd like for the pieces to continue their motion and then having their individual bounces.

Looking at the help, I thought that the options in the “velocity transfer” tab of the Voronoi node were responsible, but after playing with them, the simulation doesn't change.

Thanks in advance for your help.
