Re: Latest Houdini Wrangle Masterclass

2017-03-28 Thread Dan Yargici 
Packed Primitives are so ace that it's hard to put into words.  Polysoups
are awesome also...

The only corner case niggle I've encountered with Packed Primitives so far
is that you if you simulate them with a Pop Solver you need to manually
update the primitive Transform intrinsic to reflect the changes to Orient
etc.  It's really trivial to fix, but it'd be nice if there was a toggle on
the Pop solver to handle this for you.

Re: Latest Houdini Wrangle Masterclass

2017-03-27 Thread Andy Nicholas 
Here’s a variant that doesn’t require you to type any names, plus you get super 
efficient packed primitives. 

Basically, you just pack each set of primitives (i.e. one for each sphere, 
torus, etc) first, then merge them all together in a Merge SOP. Now you can 
just grab them as individual primitives inside VEX which is incredibly 
convenient. It works because each packed primitive has the @path attribute to 
indicate where it came from that you can use directly in the @instancepath 
attribute.

Hopefully the attached image should show up below.

thanks for the link Jonathan. It is so informative! And it clearly points a
beginner to the right direction performance-wise, as there are many ways to
do the same thing in vex.

so this hasn't changed much since in the 16 update? I just started some
tutorials on game tutors
and bought https://vimeo.com/195580569, it got into vex pretty quickly.
coding in general is pretty outside my skillset, so I'm looking for basics
in houdini to pick up.
https://www.pluralsight.com/courses/houdini-practical-math-tips I even
bought a month of pluralsight to learn this, which I think Jordi posted in
a thread a while back?


I'm trying to find more things to learn houdini and upgrade my skillset
thanks for the post!

Latest Houdini Wrangle Masterclass

2017-03-20 Thread Jonathan Moore 
Something for those of you that are trying to get to grips with VEX Wrangles in 
Houdini

 

https://vimeo.com/173658697

 

It’s a Jeff Wagner 2hr session so it has plenty of (valuable) digressions, and 
on that basis it’s one that you’ll want to watch a few times. Be sure to 
download the deck and example files too (I’d download the Vimeo video as well 
so you can setup bookmarks in VLC). Jeff has been with SideFX since the very 
beginning so his webinars are always full of great insights into Houdini’s 
mysterious ways. 

 

This was released soon after 15.5 was introduced so it’s the most up to date 
VEX Wrangles material available from SideFX.
