Hi,
I am creating an HDA (it's simply an empty object node, where its content is not locked nor saved). The only purpose of this object subnet/hda is to be a container of specific types of nodes (e.g. inside it, it's possible to create camera nodes only). My question: is it possible to limit the types of nodes created inside an HDA or subnet? A workaround is a sanity check, but I want to prevent the problem from happening in the first place...

Hi,

I use a rop alembic node to save a tree of obj/geo nodes. For pipeline purposes, the nodes in the alembic file must have special characters like ':' (e.g. transforms should be like objA:X), however in houdini a node name cannot have ':' (i.e. houdini will change the name from objA:X to objA:X). Is there any workaround?

cheers

Hi!

I want to mimic Maya transforms structure in Houdini, i.e. transform node A, when you dive, you will find another transform node B, when you dive in you find transform C.

Just to clarify, I understand I can flatten this hierarchy by connecting obj level transforms in parent-child relationship (so all nodes will be on top level obj), but I don't want this.

The only way I am to do is by creating obj sub-networks, for example: root obj --contains--> object sub-network A --dive in--> obj sub-network B. Is there any other solution?

Tx
