Using the groom tool for hair and trying to lift it using the lift node. I can't paint the lifting area on the skull and I receive this message:

Error in Parameter Scripted Action

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “Parameter Scripted Action”, line 7, in <module>
File “C:/PROGRA~1/Side Effects Software/Houdini 18.0.287/houdini/python2.7libs\furtoolutils.py”, line 2921, in paintSkinAttrib
paint_node.parm('doreflect').set(True)
AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘set’

Is this a bug or something bad in my workflow ?

Ok, something weird is going on. The paint node is not available, and maybe that is why I am not able to Skin Attribute.

Is this a bug or something wrong I did ?

Hi John,

I am having the same issue.

Well, I contacted the support and they told me that Paint node has been deprecated and replaced with Attribute Paint.

Although, I am not sure to configure my workflow to use Att Paint to paint the hair, but I am sure it will take me couple of weeks to figure it out.

If someone is reading this and have an idea, please share (:

This is a bug. The groom tools create attrib paint now, but to script is trying to set a parm from the old paint node.

Submit the issue to support using the bug submission form.
