Houdini Main Changelogs

18.6.24

When using the -j option with Houdini to limit the number of processors it uses, apply that same limit to the USD library. A value specified with the PXR_WORK_THREAD_LIMIT environment variable still takes priority over this setting.

18.6.24

Fixed a bug in the DOP Import SOP's "Create Points to Represent Objects" mode where the pivot location could be incorrect when Preserve World Space Positions was enabled. This occurred when there were object level transforms on the original source objects, but the DOP Import SOP was in a different geometry object.

18.5.347

Several improvements to the Transform Pieces SOP:

  • Added support for transforming any point / vertex attributes, rather thanjust P and N. This is controlled by the Attributes to Transformparameter.
  • Fixed issues where some primitive types (e.g. VDBs) were not transformedcorrectly.
  • Improved performance, particularly when the first input contains onlypolygons.
  • Added attribute menus for the Attribute and Attributes to Copyparameters.

18.5.347

Added support for a "load_package_once" field in the package json. This value defaults to false. If it is true, Houdini would not load the package when another package with that same name has already been loaded.
