Procedural textures?

Hey folks I have an pointcached liquid. I'd like to apply a procedural texture on it (without) and I'd like to also transform this texture. I was considering the Edit UV node in the render tree, but I couldn't really figure out how it works. Anybody could help? Cheers Szabolcs ___ This

Re: my first experiment with rigging in Houdini :-))))

Cool! How about transforms on rig objects, how do you zero out control objects? Is the object's coordinate relative to its parent, like in XSI's parent translation mode? is there add mode for rotations? On 2014-04-24 13:23, Max Evgrafov wrote:

Geometry cache question - mixing SRT animation and Momentum simulation?

I have about a hundred objects that scale up for the first part of an annimation to build a structure, then the structure collapses (no breaking) using Momentum(3) rigid body sim. I want to plot or cache this and have tried different methods, so far without much luck. Momentum manual plot

Re: my first experiment with rigging in Houdini :-))))

houdini's handling of transforms is about as good as it gets. by default, you will get a zeroed out transform on creation but this can be pushed back onto the stack as needed. you can also quite happily stack utility transforms ala xsiNulls too if that floats your boat. the real eye opener

Well put Jon, it is true that the character rig Side Effects provide is painfully slow when deforming but the issue is that it is trying to do s much it is really sophisticated… and slow. I will suggest to play with a fast rig like this one to get a feel… it won't be as fast as Maya, this

RE: Procedural textures?

There's no need to use the Edit UV shader. When you apply a spatial projection, you get a texture support object parented under the liquid. You can just select and transform the texture support like any other. If the projection has been frozen, you can still use the sliders on the texture
