Re: houdini question (and where to ask)

I prefer the ramp in Houdini as it has a couple of hidden tricks within the interface. Hopefully the screen grabs explains all but the things I like are the ability the make UI larger for more sensitive tweaks and the the extensive interpolation modes. On 6 March 2017 at 13:36, Olivier

Re: houdini question (and where to ask)

in vop, bind and bind export node will get an set datas. Ramp Parameters is sort of fcurve. It's a bit weak in terms of curve manipulation, but does the job. It has 2 modes rgb (ramp) and spline. If you use several ramps in the same vop, name them with different name or they might not export. Le

Re: houdini question (and where to ask)

For your second question, the equivalent for an fcurve node would be the ramp parameter node, set to float values. You have to go up one level to adjust the actual fcurve. And for your last question, I might not be that helpful but in the SideFx forums there is a forum specially for softimage

Re: houdini question (and where to ask)

As far as I know inside the pointvop context you can't do it, but you have the attribpromote nodes, that let you promote point attributes to detail for example and get the maximum value or minimum or whatever you need. You save it to another attribute which you can then access on the pointvop
