Houdini Main Changelogs

4.9.335

Bone and Object Mirror States have been collapsed into a single Object Mirror State. The Bone Mirror State has been renamed to be the Object Mirror State. The Mirror State now provides a preview of where the mirrored objects will appear. Hotkeys have been added to the Mirror State to switch between the mirror planes. Mirroring now works with object subnetworks. Twist affector objects (used by InverseKin CHOPs) are now also copied or mirrored. The option to not copy end affectors have been removed. Fixed mirroring bug when end affectors were already in the same hiearchy as the bone to be mirrored. The Mirror State no longer creates mirror Null objects (it uses the pre-transform instead).

The bone twist handle now only shows its front part to the viewer so that it is easier for the user to determine its orientation.

Fixed bug that caused Houdini to crash when trying to convert old bone objects that have no channels via the boneconvert command.

In the Bone Create State, to go back one bone while drawing, it is now the delete key, not the backspace key. When drawing new bone chains, the first bone's local y axis is now always aligned to be perpendicular to the construction plane.

The Bone Joint handle now works with any type of bone chain as opposed to only No Kinematics bone chains.

Cameras and the IK Handle CHOP now work with cleaned transform objects.

Ambient lighting bugs have been fixed when only happened to show up with bone objects.

mplay now starts up on NT without crashing.

Fixed crash that happened if you tried to load a hip file with a desktop that did not exist.

Started 4.9 Version file.

4.9.5

When dragging tiles, press the ALT key to avoid drag-n-drop and just simply move. (Cursor restores to original state). This allows one to move the tiles off the pane to hidden areas. Currently you must press ALT *after* starting the move, since ALT-clicking on a tile will 'jump down' into the network once released. This will be resolved at a later date.

Clicking on 'Jump to Export Chop' in floating parameter window coredump fixed.

Mechanism added to allow specific behaviour when drag-n-dropping to specific op parameters.
