Houdini Main Changelogs

7.0.107

RIB generation has been generalized in Houdini. There is now a file ($HH/ROPfeatures) which specifies the list of renderers supported by Houdini. Each renderer has a list of features which it supports.

The file not only allows new renderers to be added to Houdini, but also allows for customization of RIB feature sets. For example, it has been noted that by just specifying the "trace" attributes for prman11, the geometry is persistent and impacts the memory footprint of the render. We include prman11.0-rt which turns off ray-tracing in prman11, but still supports all the other prman11 feature set.

There is further documentation in the ROPfeatures file.

7.0.107
  • Changing frame does not require the animation editor to redraw, so it ismuch faster
  • Made default level of detail high instead of maximum
  • Hitting q to create a time group creates a time group at thecurrent time if no keys are selected
  • Made the pivot for the scale handle much bigger and bolder

7.0.106

Changed look of range slider. Dopesheet now has a view mode to allow for panning, zooming, and unrestricted scrubbing (accessed by holding down spacebar). Selection labels are now selectable and hover at ends of dopesheets when selection is out of view. New global animation option allows for restriction of playback range to animation range start and end.
