Shortcut for Show Handle tool Sept. 2, 2025, 6:27 p.m.

When working in Houdini, I totally recommend getting a gaming keyboard with 5 programmable keys running down the left side. You can program then Enter key to one of the keys. Then it will be right under your pinky finger! That and also put on the M and Y keys for changing axis and translation modes. It will speed up your workflow a lot. I sympathize with you on the Enter key.. I couldn't stand reaching over the keyboard to hit the enter key so often. BTW, I work with a Wacom tablet so my right hand is not available to hit the enter key on the right side of the keyboard.

Edit Curve With Lock Length, Like Maya Jan. 31, 2025, 3:57 p.m.

Sorry for the Necropost but this feature should be built into the Curve node! I am building a setup and I ran into this same problem. I see that there are some rather complex workarounds posted back in 2007! but this is a problem that should be easy...Or has this been solved? If so, Please let us know how. thx

Enabling Caustics with XPU July 12, 2024, 10:49 a.m.

Have there been any improvements to Karma XPU refractive caustics in H20.5? I have a client who won't even think about rendering in Karma until the refractive caustics are top notch! We are doing all cosmetics and glass. Refractive caustics are super important in that particular market.
