In this cache filling 64GB and the cracking Houdini after filling the swap as well. If you tried it before you will know that unpacking heavy geometry with a lot of groups is any easy way to fill up your ram. Its came in from Maya with thousands of primitive groups for different numbered parts of the geometry. note that you can also read attributes from node, which is not connected // to the current node using the 'op:' syntax // this is valid for any function which is expecting geo handle (sampling from other volumes.) // note that Houdini network UI will not detect this dependency when Show -> Dependency links display is enabled P3 = point( 'op.Today at work I was loading some really heavy geometry into Houdini that needed FX added to it. this is one way of reading attributes, this is only valid, when // point count is exactly the same in both inputs, then attribute from // point from second input with the same is retrieved // can also be replaced with since its signature can be guessed as it is // commonly used attribute, however I prefer explicit declaration :) // - vector, - integer, - float, - matrix3, - vector4 // - matrix4, - matrix2, - vector2, - string, //P1 = //P2 = // inputs numbering starts at 0, therefore 1 refers to the second input // this approach is useful for querying attributes from different points (other from the currently processed one) // node input numbering starts from 0 (first input), 1 (second input). you can also reference parameters from external nodes // if there is an expression (Python/hscript) in the parameter, // it will be evaluated float up = chf( './params_1/move_up') you can also use optioinal argument for time which will enable you to evaluate // the channel at different frame // // once you type ch*() in your code, you can press a button on the right, to // generate a UI parameter for it automatically, you can do the same by hand as well float y = chf( 'y_position')

Where necessary I include related functions from myLib.h or attach screenshots.

Houdini vex add attribute code#

I am not including here all of the code since sometimes it might not make a lot of sense outside of Houdini.

Alternatively you can use this page for quick looking at the topics covered and most of the code that I include here as well. It is the best to check all the nodes with open Geometry Spreadsheet and Console Output windows to see values of attributes and output text. It contains examples.hipnc and vex/include/myLib.h files which are full of various examples with explanations in comments.
