6.0.74

The Paint SOP now has the Accumulate Alpha toggle rather than the Write Alpha toggle. This is to clarify the meaning of this toggle. The toggle now also defaults to off rather than on. Further, the Create Missing Attributes toggle now will only create the alpha attribute if the Accumulate Alpha is turned on.

The switch OP now consolidates null inputs. This means if an input is disconnected from it, the ones above it will fill in the missing space. This is usually the intendend behaviour, and as there was no way to rewire the missing input previously, is also a more useful behaviour. The old behaviour can be restored by setting the HOUDINI55_COMPATIBILITY flag.

This affects the switch OP in POP, SOP, COP2, and SHOP. The other switch OPs already behaved in this fashion.

The Object Merge SOP (object_merge) has a new set of parameter names. Files created with the old parameter names will be automatically forward converted when cooked in 6.0. Scripts refering to the names will have to update to the new ones:

  • obj# and sop# for the two components of the sop path are nowhidden. If non-empty, they will trigger the autoconversionprocess.
  • xform is also no longer used, it is converted to thexformpath.
  • numobj is the number of entries in the dynamic UI, ie: thenumber of objects to merge.
  • enable# is whether each object path will be merged or not.
  • objpath# is the path to the object or sop to merge, either arelative path to this SOP, or a full path from root.
  • xformpath is the path of the object to use for the transformrelation. If empty, no transform is done. If it points toa SOP, that SOP's object is used.
