Play with the new spray paint SOP…too much fun.
http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini14.0/nodes/sop/spraypaint [sidefx.com]
When I try to use the spray paint shelf tool on any geometry it always errors out and doesn't paint any points, what are the exact steps to make it work?
not sure why you are getting errors.
I place a grid, jump inside the node and ad a mountain SOP (just to test). With this selected I can use the shelf tool (or connect it myself) and paint away…no problem.
Once I am happy with my points, I can connect any other geometry(lsystem) as second input and untick the “visualize spheres” option.
Instant forest creation without any geometry placement overlap.
Oh my god this is so much better

Ok, its working now, I had an old sop otl called “relax” that was a name conflict with the new one inside the spray asset…

Jerome PastorelloThere are only 6 unique builds at the moment:
I see that the 3 OS X version options on the download section are giving the same file (10.9), is it normal ?
Is there a 10.10 archive ?
- Windows 64-bit (VS2012)
- Windows 32-bit (VS2012) (hopefully will be dropped in 15)
- Mac OS (Clang 5.1)
- Linux (GCC 4.8)
- Linux (GCC 4.6) (hopefully will be dropped in 15)
- Linux (GCC 4.4) (hopefully will be dropped in 15)
The multiple entries pointing to the same file are just so that it's explicitly spelled out what platforms are supported and what version to get for what platform, especially for the Linux platforms.
Writing code for fun and profit since... 2005? Wow, I'm getting old.

josh3light*whew* There is also a known issue that if no geometry is selected, it will let you paint into the nothingness, but show up as errored out, because there's no input.
Ok, its working now, I had an old sop otl called “relax” that was a name delicious spam with the new one inside the spray asset…
In that case, if you connect an input afterward, it'll generate points on that geometry as if you had always had that input connected. Same for if you change the input to a different model, so that you can work with lower resolution geometry to paint and then switch it out for higher resolution geometry when you want the real thing. You should get approximately the same points, except in a few edge cases.

Can anyone tell me what the lazer select actualy does? How is this different from the “select visible geometry only” option?
It's basically a macro for Paint selection + 0 pixel radius + Area Selection Visible Geometry Only, so you don't have to continually change those settings. You could do the same thing in H13, except with a bit more hassle.
Congratulations on the new release(i know, i am late)! It's a fantastic, solid release. Also thank you for changing icons into Motion View. I am sure it's a coincidence, but i received at least 3 of my major requests included into this release(some major rework on UV's and animation layers are THE best possible features). I am ramping up my learning so i can go into full production, but this year i am purchasing. I will start with Indie in 1-2 months and then i hope i can go full license as soon as possible.

Now I'm trying to think of which word I originally typed, which was conveniently changed (by the forum software?) to “delicious spam”…
Weird.

Not a coincidence my friend, not a coincidence. ;-)

Thx for the build info.
Where the hell can I find the /tmp folder on a mac ? Even by searching in invisible system files I can't find it anywhere, same for the crash files.
Houdini displays a nice and clear message “data saved to /tmp/crash.untitled.pasto_400.hip”
but I just can't find it.
Many thx, sorry if it is obvious.
