Vellum Source - initial rotation Dec. 2, 2019, 1:38 p.m.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think You will get any angular velocities out of Vellum. It solves only points positions. If You want them the easiest way would be to use Bullet or build something out with a pop solver.

SHOP - how to get wire boolean? Nov. 27, 2019, 1:04 p.m.

I'm not sure about Arnold shading networks, but usually there is some kind of switch node, like "switch"or "two way switch"where You can plug color from parameter and color from texture and select one or another based on toggle parameter.



btw, the title is a little bit confusing
I think what you meant is something similar to "is bound"node output that is available on some sops vops, but It would not work as You expect, cause texture nodes will always provide some color, even if no image is found (pink usually?) and constantly checking if files exist in the filesystem is probably not the best way to go.

Writing documentation referencing to versioned hda's Nov. 27, 2019, 12:36 p.m.

Hey,
this might be wrong subforum but I'm not sure in which one exactly this should be posted.

I'm writing a documentation for some hdas that I created, which I've put in Operator Type Properties -> Help tab.
Those assets are versioned and may be under further development by other people.
How to ensure proper references in the documentation to the newest versions of other assets?

For example, this doesn't work:
@related
- [Node:sop/my_hda]
but this does:
@related
- [Node:sop/my_hda::1.0]

The problem is, this way, to maintain proper linking, I would need to update every asset that reference to this node, just to keep links in documentation up to date.
I would like it to pick by the default the help page for newest version available (similarly to when You create a new node it by default create the newest version of that node).
Is there a way to ensure links to the newest versions of other assets help pages without massive headaches and tedious work?

Cheers,
Tom
