Cloud Noise not working with Convert VDB Oct. 11, 2025, 5:15 a.m.

I think the issue here is that the 'ISO offset' SOP creates a standard Houdini grid volume, and I think the 'VDB convert' SOP requires a VDB input - which it's not getting. Although, when you look at the node info for the 'VDB convert' SOP it does suggest it's outputting a VDB...

EDIT:
Scrap that. Having had a quick play, I can see the issue:
The isoOffset generated volume doesn't have a name attribute. Just add a name SOP - with a name of 'density'.

H 21 Quad Remesher Guides Oct. 11, 2025, 5:08 a.m.

I was a little unclear there. What I'm really hoping for is an 'absolute' curve guide. One that absolutely enforces a hard edge on the remesh. Until then the quad remesher seems of little use in non-organic hard surface work.

Why no curves input to guide the remesh I wonder ?

I'm hoping that is on the to-do list.
