foam from ocean and collision objects Jan. 4, 2025, 3:58 a.m.

in the end i was able to do it with shaders in-render without any simulation, like here.

HQueue and different houdini install locations Dec. 5, 2024, 2:05 p.m.

hi,

i am running in some issue, when submitting a hqueue render with the hqueue render node.
client_A has houdini installed on c:\ and client_B has houdini on d:\

when submitting, lets say from client_B, with the $HFS variable in the "windows_hfs" section, the client_A looks for houdini on d:\, so it seems to pick up the value of $HFS from client_B, where it was submitted from, for all clients in the pool.
(so $HFS as a absolute value, not as a variable, which is wrong)

does somebody know how to setup hqueue render, so the clients can pick up the right houdini install location?
(i think i have to remap install paths, but how and where?)

thx for the reply and the hint. this is a cool idea and i will try.

just thinking of using the ocean as a heightfield in conjunction with the shallow water solver to create foam masks. have to do some research, because i dont know yet how to start.
i just saw a tutorial where a wake from a boat was solved with the shallow water solver.
