adjusting sweep along hair strands Dec. 28, 2025, 5:31 p.m.

Brilliant, did not try using the orient attribute with a quaternion setting.

Thanks a lot for this Christmas surprise, I suspect your karma just grew a little

I'm trying to sweep and randomly rotate a grid along some hair strands, and one would expect that randomizing an attribute like "rot", "orient" or "curveu" would somehow affect the sweep SOP.

Sweeping works ok, but no matter what I try, no such luck for randomizing the rotation for every strand along the hair strands, let alone the random rotation for every strand point.

I tried all kind all kinds of settings and adjusting just as many attributes, but no luck so far...

100 free karma points for anyone knows the secret to sweeping some geometry along hair strands, and also randomizing point or strand rotation for every hair strand in Houdini :-)

Display group and attribute list issue Dec. 27, 2025, 10:53 a.m.

Same here, sometimes it works and then all of a sudden the group & attribute list view no longer appears, but I can still see and select the colored groups in the viewport.

Strangely enough it seems like the invisible list view is somehow still blocking the same space in the viewport as when it's visible, because I can't draw anything in that top right part of the view.

After restarting Houdini it works again in both 21.0.559 and 21.0.512
