Houdini Main Changelogs

4.9.556

Backward compatibility is a goal we always keep in mind from one major release to the next. Sometimes, however, a new and better technology cannot be embedded in the fabric of the software without dislocating an older technology, often causing an incompatibility with the previous release.

The purpose of this file is to ease the user's transition to a new release by documenting the unexpected changes in the way existing functions work. Anything from a change of hotkey to a change in file format or default parameter value should be recorded here. parameter value should be recorded here.

4.9.556

The Sphere, Circle, Tube, and Torus all now have a consistent orientation. When the axis to orient to is up in the viewport, the front side should have the vertices going from left to right. Most of the primitives and axis combinations already did this, so there will be no change. However some (notably the Tube) will have different point orders than before. To recover the old behaviour, append a transform SOP and rotate by 180 degrees about the secondary axis.

4.9.555
  • Added "Ctrl+x" alias to "Alt+x" for cutting selected OPs;
  • Added "Cut" menu entry to network/list editor and to the OP groupeditor. Functionality had always been there, just missing from UI.
  • Added "Alt" aliases to the "Ctrl" hotkey for Cut, Copy, and Pastein the custom panel.
  • Changed "Alt+c" to "Alt+k" for appending checkbox button in the custompanel. 'c' is still the hotkey for _inserting_ checkbox button.

The Sweep, Revolve, and Skin Surface Operations now default to converting meshes to polygons. For backwards compatibility, these flags should be turned off.

4.9.554

Object level operations for generating objects now highlight the object being operated on. The Multi-Object operation has an option to highlight selected objects if desired. In both cases, the highlighting works even if the display flag for the object is off, so it is much easier to manipulate objects with their display flag off.
