I have looked through the sample scenes but could not find something that does
this. I want to emit particles from surfaces of an object that faces in a
particular direction, either a custom vector or fom polygons facing a null.
How can I do this?
Thanks.

You can either
Emit from the whole and delete the ones that aren't pointing in the right
direction, (based on comparing the normal angle to your preferred vector)
Or create a weightmap on the object and use ICE to set the values based upon
the normal angle and use the weightmap in the Emit node
Thanks Paul. I know stuf like this is trivial to you, but it is not so much the
method that escapes me as the lack of a tool that does this.
I can figure out how to get a vector from a nulls position and Get Point
Normals from my geometry, I can then get the angle between them and put than
into
The easiest thing is to emit over the whole object then do what you did and
plug the output of your 'Less than' into a Delete Particle node.

It seems I am doing something wrong - I am not getting the right values.

Sorry for the Maya question on here.
I'm trying to do a simple jitter on a piece of geometry to add some
animated noise. Can Maya not do this out of the box? This is the simplest
of functions in Max and XSI. I'm finding a bunch of scripts but none
supported for 2017!?
Any direction would help
I'm making you a video if you can hold out a moment and I'll send the link

Oh goodie. I thought I had almost got it right, and I saw a reaction, but
clearly not the desired one :)

Great explanation Paul. I was missing the emit location part, which I guess
will explain why I did not see the desired effect :)
I miss your tutorials, but I guess you are diving into Houdini. Maybe you can
make that more accessible to people like me - you have a great talent for
teaching.

I am doing Houdini a bit, but spend a lot more time with Softimage to be

Paul - are you subscribed to the Houdini list - it can be really helpful.
Send an email with subscribe in body to

Paul, ask here or on the sidefx list, you won't be stuck forever with the
level you have.

Are you saying that you're shy of sending your Houdini questions over to
the list? Bring them on, I'm sure the few Houdini users around will be
happy to help, and it'll also serve others doing the transition!

Not sure if this is what you want but TextureDeformer (Maya 2016 its in
Rigging, not sure in 2017). Assigning a Noise/Checkerboard as the texture
and then animating the Offset in the place2DTexture (setting pre- and
post-infinity of course) works in simple form.

I watched the vid even though I'm in Maya nowadays. It's always fun to see
how you break things down Paul. If I remember right, your original ICE vids
were sort of you teaching yourself stuff (the ray-tracer etc.), it'd be fun
to see you going through that process in Houdini. Its a very relatable f
OdForce and the Houdini Discord server are great too.

Yes, please Paul. I miss your tutorials too. Would be awesome to see some
Houdini tutorials from you. There are lots but most are maybe too advanced,
or maybe there are some basic but the guys behind them don't have your
teaching skills.

hmm I'll have to try that.
If you haven't used max before it's pretty impressive the scope of work you
can do in that package with just a noise shader.

looking for
to rotate a camera around where the mouse cursor is on the closest
raycasted object
(like zbrush or maya with the right rotation setting)
is this a thing in houdini?

Almost! Press space-z with your mouse over an object.
That rayscast point will become center of the view and the center of the orbit.

For a little extra accuracy Spacebar|Shift|Z will set the viewport pivot at
the exact point on the geometry under the cursor (great for setting up
viewport pivots with high Y axis values). It also set's the viewport pivot
without shifting viewport view itself (as with Spacebar|Z).

works great! and I don't have to do the maya claw hand just to navigate

spacebar nav seems almost better than softimage's s nav, since i can move

I'm looking for a way to setup the shader so that it will feed on the
