Maybe it was the other thread..  but its houdini 16 launch event in
shoreditch :D

The launch event will include a keynote presentation by Houdini
product experts (which will be globally live-streamed), and a social
mixer afterwards to network with friends and colleagues.

NOTE: This is an invitation-only event, and you'll need a ticket to

 Hi Chris,

 Thanks! It is always nice to learn some more ICE even now :) Pretty
 nifty for throwing quick landscapes together.

First thing, set your desktop to “Technical”. This gives you the
folder view on the left hand side. A Houdini scene is actually
composed of network folders and objects inside those networks. You can
traverse these folders with the network pane.

Folders are associated with a network type. We have acronyms for the
network types and the nodes inside these networks.

Object = Object type nodes in an Object type folder. These Object
nodes allow you build transform constraint hierarchies. Geometry type
Object nodes contain SOP nodes that construct and modify geometry that
inherit any transforms at the object level.

SOPs = Surface OPerators or geometry nodes that are inside an object
folder. These are used to construct and modify geometry. Any kind of
geometry from polygons to volumes.

DOPs = Dynamic OPerators or simulation/solver nodes that are used to
construct simulations. Simulations read in geometry from SOPs and
passes this data in to the DOP solvers.

SHOP = SHading Operators are materials that represent a shader to
apply to geometry. Some are hard coded with vex and others are folders
that you can dive in to and modify the VOPs inside.

VOPs = Vector OPerators inside VOP network nodes are used for
everything from building shaders to modifying geometry, volumes,
pixels, and more.

VEX = Vector Expression Language. The code language used to write
shaders. VOPs are wrappers around VEX code snippets.

CVEX = Context agnostic Vector Expression Language. This has replaced
all the VEX specific contexts throughout Houdini. It is a generalized
language that uses the same environment and functions anywhere inside
Houdini.

COPs = Composite OPerators in composite type folders. Used in image
compositing operations.

ROPs = Render OPerators in side ROP Output directories which are used
to create render output dependency graphs for automating output of any
type of data and for triggering external processes like rendering.
Commonly used to generate sequences of geometry, simulation data and
trigger Render tasks that generates sequences of images to disk.

CHOPs = CHannel OPerators used to create and modify any type of raw
channel data from motion to audio and everything in between. Most
users safely ignore the CHOP context, and so can you, for now. Put it
on the “get to it later” list when learning Houdini. But definitely
keep it on the list.



All these folder types and node types are clearly indicated inside the
Tree View you get up by default with the Technical Desktop. I highly
recommend anyone new to Houdini to get used to working with the Tree
view as you can see everything in the scene without diving in and out
all over the place.

What makes these acronyms so important is that you can communicate
ideas much quicker without any ambiguity with your fellow Houdini
co-workers. This is known as “Houdini Speak”.

We have stripped many acronyms from the docs but the fact that they
still exist and get used all the time speaks volumes to their
usefulness.

If you ever speak with me, I use acronyms full stop and expect to hear
them right back. Just putting that out there.

Re: Xsi to Houdini Quick Start Tutorials

[Rob Chapman]

from Jeff @ sidefx

First thing, set your desktop to “Technical”. This gives you the
folder view on the left hand side. A Houdini scene is actually
composed of network folders and objects inside those networks. You can
traverse these folders with the network pane.

Folders are associated with a network type. We have acronyms for the
network types and the nodes inside these networks.

Object = Object type nodes in an Object type folder. These Object
nodes allow you build transform constraint hierarchies. Geometry type
Object nodes contain SOP nodes that construct and modify geometry that
inherit any transforms at the object level.

SOPs = Surface OPerators or geometry nodes that are inside an object
folder. These are used to construct and modify geometry. Any kind of
geometry from polygons to volumes.

DOPs = Dynamic OPerators or simulation/solver nodes that are used to
construct simulations. Simulations read in geometry from SOPs and
passes this data in to the DOP solvers.

SHOP = SHading Operators are materials that represent a shader to
apply to geometry. Some are hard coded with vex and others are folders
that you can dive in to and modify the VOPs inside.

VOPs = Vector OPerators inside VOP network nodes are used for
everything from building shaders to modifying geometry, volumes,
pixels, and more.

VEX = Vector Expression Language. The code language used to write
shaders. VOPs are wrappers around VEX code snippets.

CVEX = Context agnostic Vector Expression Language. This has replaced
all the VEX specific contexts throughout Houdini. It is a generalized
language that uses the same environment and functions anywhere inside
Houdini.

COPs = Composite OPerators in composite type folders. Used in image
compositing operations.

ROPs = Render OPerators in side ROP Output directories which are used
to create render output dependency graphs for automating output of any
type of data and for triggering external processes like rendering.
Commonly used to generate sequences of geometry, simulation data and
trigger Render tasks that generates sequences of images to disk.

CHOPs = CHannel OPerators used to create and modify any type of raw
channel data from motion to audio and everything in between. Most
users safely ignore the CHOP context, and so can you, for now. Put it
on the “get to it later” list when learning Houdini. But definitely
keep it on the list.



All these folder types and node types are clearly indicated inside the
Tree View you get up by default with the Technical Desktop. I highly
recommend anyone new to Houdini to get used to working with the Tree
view as you can see everything in the scene without diving in and out
all over the place.

What makes these acronyms so important is that you can communicate
ideas much quicker without any ambiguity with your fellow Houdini
co-workers. This is known as “Houdini Speak”.

We have stripped many acronyms from the docs but the fact that they
still exist and get used all the time speaks volumes to their
usefulness.

If you ever speak with me, I use acronyms full stop and expect to hear
them right back. Just putting that out there.

Peter Quint's video on Pop Streams shows a fairly straightforward approach
to creating states.

Yeah, you need to think a bit different in Houdini, but I could do a tut about

Chris, you should take a look at the Jumpstart series over at HelloLuxx.
Adam Swaab is a great tutor who guides you through your learning path
without ever being condescending. There's a promotion on at the moment with
discounts of up to 50%. Vol.7 (currently 30% off) deals specifically with
VOPS which is the closest thing to ICE in Houdini but I'd also recommend
you pick up the bundle of the first 4 volumes (currently 50% off) as this
covers a lot of key principles of the Houdini UX, which are helpful for
someone transitioning from ICE.

There's a ton of free tutorials available but the benefit of Adam's stuff
is that it's structured as a 'learning path'. You could get away with
skipping Vol's 5&6, as once you understand the foundations there's better
paid material available for Pyro and Fluids - specifically thinking of the
Steve Knipping 'Applied Dynamics' series over at CGCircuit. Steve's an ILM
TD and a great communicator/teacher too (the downside is that his courses
aren't the cheapest but they're still more reasonable than the likes of
cmiVFX, fxPHD and CGSociety). He made Vol.1 of his Destruction series
available for free on Vimeo; it's a great indicator to his approach to
teaching and the quality of his other course. Steve's great at explaining
the 'why' as well as the 'how'. That added context aids retention and
deeper understanding of Houdini as an integrated system.

Re: Xsi to Houdini Quick Start Tutorials

[Olivier Jeannel]

Not everything, but yeah State Machine is something I try to reproduce in
popvop but some easy features are missing such as "get time in state" and
other nodes that gave the age of the particle relative to the moment it
entered the stage.

Re: Xsi to Houdini Quick Start Tutorials

[Cristobal Infante]

I could you show a similar setup in Houdini, but I am nowhere as eloquent
as the MASTER Bradley Gabe...

Also you must forget everything you know (state
Machines, bla bla).

Re: Xsi to Houdini Quick Start Tutorials

[Chris Marshall]

OK Thanks guys. Well for me, I know very little about Houdini, other than
just getting my head around the interface.
With Ice, I can load a demo fireworks scene, dive into the ICE tree, and
figure out how the fireworks are created. It's very straight forwards as
you have an emitter node, forces etc etc. You can clearly see what nodes
are doing what.
In Houdini however, I loaded the default fireworks, had a look inside and
could not figure out what was going on. So there are clearly some
fundamental differences there that could do with explaining. It might be
that the fireworks isn't a good example?

Hi Chris,

That it what I'm trying to do with the Xsi to Houdini videos. Is there

Re: Executing a Command without undo (Scripting)

[Martin Yara]

Thanks for your answer.

I tried that but it resets all the Undo History so both a() and b() won't
be undoable.
And worst, b() is still in the Repeat list.

I want to keep a() undoable and repeatable while making b() invisible.

It seems to work fine when b() is called by an event, undo and repeat will
ignore the event. A workaround would probably be using a few onEndCommand
events.

Re: Executing a Command without undo (Scripting)

[Alok Gandhi]

You can set
preferences.General.undo': 0
before calling b().

In python this can be easily done through a decorator

Re: Executing a Command without undo (Scripting)

[Martin Yara]

I've found SetFlag(262144, false) in an old message in the list but I don't
understand how does it work.

I create a command a() with these flags in JScript.
oCmd.SetFlag(siNoLogging,true);
oCmd.SetFlag(siSupportsKeyAssignment,false) ;
oCmd.SetFlag(262144,false);
Just like the commands inside GlobalVarPlugin.js from the Softimage
Commands folder..

The command does a simple duplicate Component, just for testing.

Then I execute:

Translate("",0,0,1)
a()

As expected, it moves the selected point and then, duplicate it.
If I use Repeat, it repeats a()
If I undo, it undoes a(), and if undo again it undoes Translate.

So I don't see any change with a not flagged command.

Is this behavior normal? I though it wouldn't undo the a() command and
hoped that Repeat would ignore it too, but i doesn't.

Re: Xsi to Houdini Quick Start Tutorials

For those of us who are keen to switch to something that has some
similarities to ICE, is there a way of doing some tutorials of the basics
of simple effects done in ICE remade in Houdini?

Re: mountains

[Chris Marshall]

Yes sometimes I feel doing more ice is a waste of time, but as I know it
inside out and have seriously tight deadlines, I have no time to learn
anything else right now.
The mountains builder works way better than I thought it would.

Executing a Command without undo (Scripting)

[Martin Yara]

Hi,

Is it possible, in Scripting, to execute a command without leaving a trace
in the undo stack?

I want to execute 2 commands a() and b() in that order, but I want to be
able to use Repeat to use a() again, not b().

b() command is only a command to get data so it shouldn't break anything if
I skip that command when undoing or repeating.

I've found 'TermUndoRedo' in the SDK manual but it is only for C++ API.

Thanks

Martin
