Hello! I want to create a field of tall grass that an animated character could walk through. I don't want the grass to simply be flattened to the ground, but rather to bend out of the way of the character.

How should I approach this? Fur simulation or using the wire solver? I am using Houdini 16.5, so any Vellum solutions wouldn't work for me.

I couldn't find any, but if you know of tutorials or forum questions that already answer this, please point me to them.

Thanks!

change the button callback to this:

hou.pwd().hdaModule().executeButton(kwargs)

and change your code to this:

def executeButton(kwargs):
    node = kwargs["node"]

there are other errors but this will get you past the first ones

Thanks so much! Changing the callback (along with some other code cleanup) was what did the trick!
