Try adding a "resample" SOP to the curve.

Here you are cutting from a video course I bought a long time ago

Your reply is a little cryptic, but I created a screencap video that might help :

This is a video from a video course I'm trying to replicate in version 2025

If you look at the "official" purchased video "Houdini Procedural Foundations".

This solution was thought up by a professional, not me. You can see that he clicks on completely different interface elements.
For example the outcap folder next to the sweep folder. The developers have not updated the process of creating objects in the new editor. I used to study special effects and bought 10 courses and now I have to buy 10 courses on modeling when I already have them.

The primitive type parameter is exactly the same in Houdini 20.5.

Thanks for trying to help, but you didn't do anything -



The only thing that helped from my experiments was curve/promotive tipe/(option nurbs curve) and reinterpret curves and current tipe and order


I said that in the video course there is an output folder next to the sweep folder. There's nothing like that in your image.

So it's useless - show me on the video!!!

Hi, that tutorial is for version 15.5 and Houdini has changed over the past 9 years, especially the modelling tools.

Sops like Sweep were updated so to answer your question...
The Output tab on the old Sweep had the following options:
Skin Unclosed: This is now the default output of Sweep but with Stretch Around Turns Off
Skin with Auto Closure: Auto Closure is now End Caps (which has extra options)
Skin Unclosed with Preserved Shape: Preserved Shape is now Stretch Around Turns (This is now the default output of Sweep)
Skin with Preserved Shape and Auto Closure: read above descriptions

I've attached a hip file and screenshot in case it helps.

If you are learning to model in Houdini, I'd suggest the following:
- Use a more up-to-date tutorial. Since 15.5, a lot of modelling tools have been updated and new ones have been added. If you are a beginner, trying to learn from a tutorial this old will most likely lead you to more questions than answers and you'd be ignoring the past 9 years of new tools.
- Use the Houdini documentation. I'm self-taught and found it invaluable when learning Houdini. Just press F1 on a parameter and it'll load the relevant page in the documentation. (ie. Max Segments on the Resample)
