Hi,

I'm following this tutorial from Steven Knipping: https://vimeo.com/162636675 [vimeo.com]

At around 28:15 in the tutorial, he has you add in a Smoke Object node inside a DOP Network and attache it to the OUTPUT node inside the DOP Network.

When he does it, he receives no errors. However, when I attempt that, I get an error.

“set_icluster”
“Not enough sources specified.”

When I dive into the Smoke Object node, I noticed another node that's not connected to anything called set_icluster, which is a Modify Data node.

(UPDATE: Maybe this is a SideFX bug. I allowed the Smoke Object mode to be modified and connected the set_icluster node to the Smoke Configure Object node and the error went away. I'm on Version 15.0.244.16 (15.0.244.16) of Apprentice, so maybe I need to try it on a later version.)

Anyone have any ideas what's going on?

I am following the exact same lesson and having the exact same issue, what fixed it for me was saving and reloading the scene.

Using Houdini Apprentice 15.5.480

Windows 10

did you find a solution ?

did you find a solution ?

I was also following the same tutorial. I also hit the same problem at 28:15. I was using Houdini Indie 15.5.632, as that's the last version that is currently supported by C4D to work with the Houdini to C4D pipeline.

When I switched to Houdini Indie 16.0.584 and retraced my steps, the smoke object now works.

Not sure what the problem was in 15, so I'm not sure I so much “solved” the problem as sidestepped it.
