Eminem releases "Houdini," the first single from his upcoming album "The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)," promising a controversial and nostalgic return.
#OpenUSD has a prim.GetName() but no prim.SetName()! I know how to edit primpaths via an sdf.layer but having a .SetName() would have meant i could be solving another problem right now instead of bashing my head against moving stage data to a sdf.layer and back!
Creating a payload feels oddly complicated in #Houdini but once you have it setup its pretty straight forward!
Here I am creating two reference usd layers, one for _geo.usdc and one for _mtl.usdc (off top screen) that are combined into a single payload layer _payload.usd.
The 'root_component_prim' is simply creating '/asset_name' of kind 'Component'.
I'm using #blender for the first time in about 4 years (and used to just use it to cut out complex UV maps for video projection mapping), and wow, with the #eevee realtime rendering engine is a game changer. and the UI has become so much easier to navigate in this time. it's like if #touchdesigner and a #houdini reunited and became merged as one.
tried to recreate emty01's knit video. the yarn intersects all over the place and it doesn't loop, so not a success.. but at least I did my first #karmaxpu render #houdini 🇮🇸
Maybe it's because I've been using #Maya for almost 20 years and am blind to it's absurdities, but I'm watching a #Houdini tutorial on building USD Components in SOPs and KineFX and it all seems beyond absurd how complex it is to set up a simple robot arm with an IK control.
Today's weird #python edge case - importing a module in #houdini pythonrc means pytest-cov doesn't work when running tests on the module, because the module is imported before the plugin starts.
Created a new hda today. Lets lookdev target specific selections or faces for material binding. Basically makes the process of creating geomsubsets more artist friendly whilst keeping them usd compliant!
My mind is exploding... keeping #houdini & #bifrost logic all in order in my head! They both work in such different paradigm's yet at the end of the day we are just manipulating points in 3D Space
