Re: A gem of a tutorial

[Olivier Jeannel]

Objects in houdini are just like drawers or directories that you just
browse through.
Everything has an adress that you point to, even the ports (opinput) of
nodes or the contexts (obj, shop, etc...).

Re: A gem of a tutorial

[Oscar Juarez]

The geometry SOP is just a container, it is a node that lives in the Object
context of Houdini, much like any object in Softimage. When you dive inside
this node, it would be like going inside the construction stack of
softimage, every node inside could be thought as an operator in the
construction stack. It is not exactly the same but it helps to see it like
that.

He deletes immediately the node, because the default node that comes with
the geometry is the file SOP which allows you to load external geometry,
since he is creating geometry from scratch he doesn't really need it.

Hope it helps.

Re: A gem of a tutorial

[Chris Marshall]

Hi
I've been watching this tutorial, which is pretty amazing, and trying to
get to grips with some of the Houdini workflows here. The first thing he
does is creates a GeoSop? But then goes into that node and deletes the
contents. Can anyone just briefly explain what the logic is behind what the
geosop node is and why the first thing you'd do is remove what's been
created by default?

Thanks
Chris

Re: A gem of a tutorial

[Jonathan Moore]

The really cool thing with the Entagma tutorials, is that the community
usually come up with variations on the theme that have equal value. And as
ever with the Houdini community theres some super smart artists out there
that often provide more efficient solutions too.
