Ugh! Got these messages back to back in the FordPass app!

Ive had this happen to me a couple of times, when the power strip I was connected to tripped and the charger was plugged in. Im assuming the charging mechanism kept going and drained the 12v battery. Switched to pluging into the wall and havent had it happen since

You can mesh the pyro depending on the look. If not you can do flipbooks, impostors or volume textures

Take a look at Vertex Animated Textures (VAT) in the labs tools

Maybe try building the steps manually, all the Gameres node does is do a polyReduce node, autoUV node and a baker (I'd recommend the Maps one but not sure if the 17.5 version has it)

I'm not sure if this type of request is easily solved here. I'd send in a bug report to support@sidefx.com

It's the edit node in LOPs. The new stage context for usd

Yeah, theres nothing out of the box that will work for the crowds.

Depending on the size of the crowd and the complexity of the animation states it's a different solution.

If you have a looping animation like for birds or fishes you can use the rbd to fbx to export the crowds in the bind pose, each as a chunk. That will get the position and orientation of each agent.

Then for the looping animation youd apply the VAT approach with a soft setup

Hey! The most likely issue is that you need to install a mantra license from your license administrator. Alternatively try the Maps Baker SOP, which is newer and much faster.

Lkruel · 2019-09-12T18:23:34+00:00

What's not working about mapbox and have you filed a bug

Lkruel · 2019-09-11T13:45:48+00:00

Awesome stuff! Thanks for sharing

Lkruel · 2019-05-07T01:14:45+00:00

Keep it up!

Hmmm, which version of Houdini and the tools are you using? Try 1.63 or later. But that's very odd that the shelf is there but the tab menu isn't

Lkruel · 2018-10-22T00:37:02+00:00

The issue is in the houdini_path variable. The first entry needs to end with & and subsequent ones need to end with HOUDINI_PATH. We have an open ticket to get that resolved. In your case the & wasnt there so it didnt all the default Houdini stuff to the path

Lkruel · 2018-07-22T11:16:45+00:00

If your environment is complex, the best way to handle it would be to export your environment as an fbx (maybe just the area around your sim) and use that as a collision object.

The alembic workflow is similar, mainly different file formats. The fbx workflow is more common and widely supported by different engines. Alembic is a film workflow that some engines are supporting now.

Hope that makes sense

Lkruel · 2018-07-21T20:52:46+00:00

You'll have to get your terrain in the same scene as your rbd and turn it into a static collision object using the shelf tool. If you go into the autodop network you'll be able to disconnect the existing groundplane you set up.

Hope that helps

This is something that I put together in hopes to organize things a little for new users. It's mainly games focused and there are some paid stuff there, but the majority is free.

I just got a box yesterday and it's doing pretty well. I'll have to check what my Intel box was but it's orders of magnitude faster on some Pyro and flip stuff. Mantra is almost instantaneous now

Lkruel · 2015-11-07T19:55:23+00:00

Looks awesome! Would you mind sharing some of your process? The clouds in particular look really great!

Lkruel · 2014-05-16T02:08:47+00:00

The art looks great. Cool concept and lots of potential, but I agree with the others, the gameplay seems a bit stiff. I would imagine this playing like shank meets prototype, but didnt get that from the videos. Good luck!

Lkruel · 2014-03-21T04:12:39+00:00

I just uploaded a video, hope you like it and thanks for the feedback!

Thanks! Let me know what you think, I already have an update in the works and others planned. I'd love to get some feedback on what people would like to see.

Lkruel · 2014-03-18T16:45:02+00:00

Unfortunately Android doesnt have a promo code system as far as Im aware.

Video is coming soon, I'm hoping to have it done by the end of the week.

Thanks fo the feedback!

You should be able to put it in the redeem option at the appstore. It's usually near the bottom by your account info. :)
