houdini apprentice - import not working & can I test redshift with it? Oct. 12, 2016, 6:02 a.m.

solved - I had to uncheck “show sequences as one entry” - now everything is working… I was importing a obj seq of 2 files

houdini apprentice - import not working & can I test redshift with it? Oct. 12, 2016, 5:46 a.m.

Hello,

I am testing houdini apprentice right now.
I can't import anything from blender - i use *.obj. I can import the files to 3D max demo for example.
All I get is an empty object - in the viewport I only see the 3d manipulator. I downloaded a random obj-file and it is working. The working obj file is triangulated. I should be able to import quads?

what I notice: In some cases if I enter the object in the shematic view / node view there it is red (thin lines 45°) and it says “timeblend1”. It also displays any number in the filename as $F (instead of 2). I use Win 10 64bit.

It is still my old PC, win 10, i7 920, 12GB ram, GTX 750ti - planning to buy a new one with 6800k + 64GB + GTX 1070 soon.

Other question: Can I try the demoversion of redshift 3d with apprentice?
Can I test redshift demo with indie?
Is the GTX 1070 already supported by redshift and houdini?

Water vapor / White smoke / Steaming Sept. 28, 2016, 5:38 a.m.

Hello,

I am quite new to houdini indi and I need boiling water and water vapor for a project. Do you know any tutorials on these 2 topics? Would be really happy if you could get me started… Thanks in advance.

I want the smoke to look something like this:

I already tried this:

I think all I really need to change is the density and the smoke color. And maybe add a force like wind. I am a bit confused of the big networks created and can't find the smoke color. (I am aware of that these networks could become quite powerful once I am used to them…) I would also be interested in buying tutorials on this topic.

Thank you very much!
