Hello guys,

Very excited that I'm on the journey learning and practicing Houdini 16 Apprentice.
And I find the document on the official website very useful these days.

I have a thought about this document to share with you.

I think it would be better that there is a demonstrating picture in every nodes' page like the picture shows. This demonstrating picture will show us what this node looks like and how many inputs it has. And in my opinion, it's really important to know what kind of input we have to feed to a particular input of a particular node and what this particular node can output based on our correct input(s) or feed(s). Since Houdini is a node based procedural tool, we must know what type of data a particular node eat and what this node will generate after eating.

Hope you all have a nice day. Cheers.

While this may already have been figured out, I ran into this issue today and managed to fix it for myself. All I had to do was hit D (while hovering over viewport) and on the particles section of the geometry tab, make sure that display sprites was ticked off.
Oddly enough it only occurred when I plugged in a mocapbiped via a file merge into a geometry particle set-up, as opposed to a sphere.

Oh man, very appreciated that you share the solution with us. Thank you very much.
Have a nice day bro.

Try changing the Sphere node's Primitive Type parameter to Polygon or Polygon Mesh. I think the Boolean node only works with polygon primitives.

I tried what you said just now. It works really well. Thank you very much bro. And by the way, can you tell me more about the difference between Primitive,Polygon,Polygon Mesh and Mesh. Very appreciated. Have a nice day my friend.
