To major things I hadn't noted are: - Compiled SOP Blocks: These allow for a chain of compatible SOP nodes to be compiles as a block on the fly for parallel execution. The documentation makes clear that this is just the start of a larger program of optimising SOPs for threading but this looks like it could be a really efficient workflow for SOP 'for loops', essential for destruction and such like. http://sidefx.com/docs/houdini/model/compile
- Attribute Expression SOP: This is the new replacement for the goto per point manipulation SOP of days gone by, the 'Point SOP'. The Point SOP allowed you to action essential point attribute manipulations but was single threaded. The Attribute Expression SOP is fully multithreaded and is an extension of the Wrangle family of nodes. http://sidefx.com/docs/houdini/nodes/sop/attribexpression On 22 February 2017 at 08:38, Rob Wuijster <[email protected]> wrote: > Terrain generation is going to be a lot of fun :-) > And I like all the tweaks for the network view, very useful stuff there. > > Now I'm off to ruin my Wednesday.... ;-) > > > Rob > > \/-------------\/----------------\/ > > On 21-2-2017 18:04, Ed Schiffer wrote: > > IT HAS ARRIVED > > go grab yours!! > > https://www.sidefx.com/download/ > > > On Fri, 10 Feb 2017 at 16:29 Pierre Schiller <activemotionpictures@gmail. > com> wrote: > >> I'm jumping into HU.
