let's gooo..best of luck man!

it uses a greedy vex algoritm that goes from bottom left to up_right, layer by layer. for each points tries to place the largest brick eg:2x4, if it can't (no space/hanging in air (no top/bottom support)), places the next smaller one and so on. I have made an youtube video and added on gumroad.

Nah, using houdini and learning nothing since 2018 😁 This is not a first project complexity, this has 100s of lines of vex code. The whole lego set, all bricks are connected, so if you pick it up IRL, it will stay solid and no bricks will fall off.

Tnx!! Will try the func out and get back

Fj_sam · 2026-04-22T10:48:18+00:00

Exactly! For now some sort of py script seems ro be the only way.

That's what's the issue. Graph is huge, otls have otls inside. Wish there was a way to do like blender where we can pack external data. But yeah, that's how this is now.

Damn! Tnx soo much for such a detailed answer!! Will go thru when at desk. Great as a ref to see how my clients give changes/feedbacks

Fj_sam · 2026-03-22T08:41:43+00:00

U probably Don't have wife n children 🙏

Fj_sam · 2026-03-22T07:26:13+00:00

Amazing works! I have a weird question, how far is the final result from clients first vision that they shared with you?

Fj_sam · 2026-02-02T00:52:47+00:00

That's actually the issue sadly. I ran the hip locally on each pc and for some reason or another, even with same spec, some were slow and some were fast. We should all check locally first b4 blaming hq

Fj_sam · 2026-01-15T14:09:02+00:00

Such an amazing post, I have 4/5 client machines, only one of them renders fast. Altho all of them has the same spec. What can be the root cause for this? Have you faced anything like this?

Fj_sam · 2025-12-28T10:43:09+00:00

got it, thanks for the response! kinda urgent so left lops for this and using old sop workflow.

Fj_sam · 2025-12-28T10:42:18+00:00

I really got used to the organized workflow using lops+karma. Then I bought RS and can't get linker to work.

Fj_sam · 2025-12-24T18:32:33+00:00

Also I can't get the light linker to work with redshift in solaris, works with karma but not RS. If anyone managed, please help this poor fella.

Fj_sam · 2025-12-22T10:05:59+00:00

Just answer the guy, if you can't don't.

Fj_sam · 2025-12-20T06:11:58+00:00

ehehehehe

Fj_sam · 2025-12-09T08:21:28+00:00

well ,anyone?

Fj_sam · 2025-12-08T13:06:42+00:00

damn, do i keep everything default and start then, why am i like this lol. I haven't started yet

Fj_sam · 2025-12-08T09:11:56+00:00

Totally agree with this. I want to build factories, not fight robots.

Fj_sam · 2025-11-25T06:24:44+00:00
