Re: Houdini Basics....

the intersect node in VOP ? If I remember correctly, beware of the length of your normals, they had to be long enough to "hit" the surface. ie don't normalize them. Yeah, Houdini is deep, not always easy.. 2017-05-19 8:53 GMT+02:00 Thomas Volkmann : > Thanks guys! > >

Again for the Matrix from obj level : In a Wrangle : matrix m = optransform('/obj/null1'); @P *=m; Found the solution at tokeru : http://www.tokeru.com/cgwiki/index.php?title=HoudiniVex#Get_transform_of_objects_with_optransform 2017-05-18 20:26 GMT+02:00 Olivier Jeannel <facialdel...@gmail.

For the Matrix from Obj level http://forums.odforce.net/topic/15262-how-to-get-world-coordinates-at-the-geometry-level/ There's an opxform_vops.hip to download. $out1 = optransform($next); The autor uses an "inline" vop, which is new to me, and it has a fat documentation :/ 2017-05-18 19:58

Re: Houdini Basics....

Not a specialist of these geo to sop manipulations here. But, if you "object merge" the null (/obj/null1/point1), with Transform "Into this object" you can have access to its "P" position. Surely there's a good way to have the full matrix... 2017-05-18 18:58 GMT+02:00 Thomas Volkmann

Prim intrinsic in CHOP

Hi, I rarely use CHOP. The only use I found (that was explained to me by my friend Jerome Pastorello) is to use a CHOP network to add some Jiggle on the Position and on the Orient of some already animated points. Basicly the CHOP nicely overshoots the P and Orient, resulting in a pleasant

Hi, I doodled around the idea of strands and came with a setup that is similar enough (I believe) to what we have in Ice Strands. 25min long though :/ Average English :/ https://vimeo.com/214095798 2017-03-04 14:26 GMT+01:00 Anto Matkovic : > Hello, > > Thanks for linking.

Hi guys, Does someone has an example of how addprim VOP should be connected ? Let's say I have 10 points and want to add on big open polygon (line) to them. The internet is empty... (and oddforce is closed) Thank you ! -- Softimage Mailing List. To unsubscribe, send a mail to

Re: Anybody finding the Houdini example files I've posted useful?

I'm not a big fan of Dalvi's tutorials. They are nice, but going to the more "fundamental" learning is the only way imho. First it unties you from the tool Second the execution speed. (Wich mean vex and or vop) If I'm able to explode and rotate 20 primitives, making them go from state to state
