Hey,

Just wondering if there were any Denver, CO based Houdini artists that might be interested in getting together once in a while?

I'm freelance and have been using Houdini for about 3 years now.

Would love to talk shop sometime…

Hi,

OK, this one is driving me nuts.
Using Houdini Indie 16.5x and I'll be happily tumbling around the viewport using my mouse and spacebar, and then, for no apparent reason, when I try to rotate around the object, and I press the spacebar and then move the mouse left or right, the viewport zooms INTO the object and doesn't keep the same zoom level as I had.

This only happens IF I move the mouse over the object. If I move the cursor in an empty area, it works as expected.

I'm sure I've hit some combination of keys to get this ‘setting’ to work as it is. If I restart, all is good.

This seems to only happen when I'm inside a GEO node, if I am at OBJ level, it works as expected.

What am I doing wrong?

NOTE: This issue is only present when I have a camera selected and ‘locked’ so I'm moving the camera view around. If I just use the normal viewport, it doesn't exhibit this issue/feature.

Thanks,

Jim

It would be helpful if you uploaded your .hip file so we can look at it.
