Hi, guys!
A new version 1.5.0 of the plugin is just released!
Now its name changed to COPstance.

- Added new basic node: Seamless Noise.
- Added patterns assets for Houdini Indie.
- Changed plugin installation method.

Enjoy!

Great work here! I am trying it out and I love the functionality you added. One big problem is that I get a seg fault whenever using the Distance Node. This causes Houdini to crash

Hello,

Tried to install the COPstance 30 day trial and Windows Defender suggests I don't open the .exe I don't assume it's a virus, but don't want to assume it's safe because I am guessing it's safe. What do you suggest?

Houdini 19 will be announced and released relatively soon I predict. Since I haven't seen activity from you recently, I just want to make sure there is going to be an update for your plugin for 19 in a timely fashion.

Thanks

It is because of the specific work of Windows Defender. It is based on download and launches statistics. It marks all files with low launch statistics as suspicious.
If you worry about it, you can check the file on virustotal.com

Yes, I will out a version for Houdini 19 as soon as it will release.

Hey,

I got your plugin. It works partially, some nodes don't do anything e.g. tile? I see the same image, without any tiling of my picture.
Another question, when I try to add COPstance patter, houdini wants to swith to non-commercial, why? Is it possible to stay in commercial and use patterns?

This is the default behavior of such types of COP nodes (with Image tab) in Houdini.
You need to go to Image type of Tile Generator and change Add Plane parameter from M to C, A (Color planes with alpha)

Go to the plugin folder and remove sbs_patterns.hdanc file from otls folder. There must be left sbs_patterns.otllc file. This is for Houdini's indie license.
