destruct007

I loaded the example from “start here” in Particle node examples called Split particle node. The rule for the group1 in the popnet is from predefined, $DEAD == 1
But that group is always empty, obviously I hit play. but it seems not to have any points in the group. I tried to figure out why it's not working but seem stuck.

Any help? I'm on linux using 9.5.255. Is it broken for anyone else? It's not a huge deal, just once I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working as expected I got curious.


Edit: I'm getting the same problem in the fireworks example 0 points in the group from the $DEAD == 1

Edit2: I tried in 9.1.179 and there it fails both the firework example in split and the split self example. It seems like it might be a bug? in 9.1 it errors out saying “Channel evaluation error. Syntax error” I open a scene fresh edit nothing.

Well, I downloaded it twice from there, just to make sure, and they both had that problem.
and to be sure I got it from from here:
http://sidefx.vislab.usyd.edu.au/houdini-7.0.231/houdini-7.0.231-win32.exe [sidefx.vislab.usyd.edu.au]

I guess it's like they say 3rd times the charm

because now that I downloaded (again) it it works! Thanks a lot!

I'm trying to get Houdini 7.0.23 apprentice version up and running on my XP box at home, and I get an error

Error 1335. This file ‘Data1.cab’ required for this instillation is corrupt and
cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error from the CD_ROM, or a problem with this package.

I tried downloading it again, but no beans with that either. Any help? Thanks!
