    When keyframing f240 @ 01:19 minutes in the video; how did you bring up the vertical box that gave you the selective movement range options, .0001 up to 100?

      click on the parameter field. you wish to change, and the click + hold MMB, hover cursor. over and drag.

    The parameter ladder is not in the video anymore but if you want to access it, middle click on any parameter field.

    This is fantastic, thank you.

    When I add the color node though, it only it applies it to the wires. It's not on the faces. Is there a setting or step I've missed?

      Wires ? Mine is fine, can you show pic of problem ?
      thx

    How come when I try to animate the keyframes, I can't see any animation? All I see is the start and end points? Something I miss?

    • TreevDee 5 years, 8 months ago  | 

      Never mind, I figured it out :)

    • Ren910 4 years, 10 months ago  | 

      What did you do to see the animation? I am having the same problem.

      • Ren910 4 years, 10 months ago  | 

        Lol nvm. I restarted the program and tried it all again and it's working now.

    Really Nice!
    Summary:
    n: select all geometry
    Tab: new node
    alt/option click on parameter name: create parameter keyframe

    • neighborlee2 4 years, 10 months ago  | 

      What is the point of your summary, are you correcting author, if not elaborte pls as I've having troubling, its not animating at all and I did precisely what OP has done.

    i can't change frequency setting because i use free version of houdini?

  • neighborlee2 4 years, 10 months ago  | 

    Btw, keyframe in Houdini is not alt now, its T.

    thx

    • neighborlee2 4 years, 10 months ago  | 

      I can't even get that to work, saw video by searching for animation and Houdini, and it said to use T, just noting.

  • neighborlee2 4 years, 10 months ago  | 

    Meant 'K'.

  • martineaum9 4 years, 8 months ago  |
