Strawberries falling problem (constrain) April 28, 2017, 6:50 p.m.

Hi Guys,

Im trying to setup a scene here using strawberries (body and leaves) to fall dinamically. So I am simulating the body with FEM, and the leaves with Cloth. They collide with each other but I cant seem to constrain the leaves to its respective body. I managed to paint the leaves where I need the constrain to act by proximity (attrib blend Cd), So I need to PIN these point to its body (which I have to find also by proximity).

Does houdini have a pin constrain Point to Point? How would you approach this? Thank you!

This is what i have right now VIDEO : https://www.dropbox.com/s/dn2ozugpk9zl2j2/video-1493247667.mp4?dl=0 [dropbox.com]

Grouping every Nth point March 9, 2017, 5:37 p.m.

Hey guys,
Im new to houdini, Im trying to so something here but i dont really know if its possible so here goes.

I have the following mesh
https://www.dropbox.com/s/nuq8271lwn6bshw/chrys.jpg?dl=0 [dropbox.com]

I want to make 4 groups (can i use a pointWrangle to do it?)
I wanted these 4 groups procedurally: 1,6,11,16 // 2,7,12,17 // 3,8,13,18 // 4,9,14,19

IF its possible, I would do it like this (im not familiar with the variables yet so here is a pseudo-code)

int $numGroups = 4; // wanted the code to create the groups for me. is it possible?
int $n = 1;

while($n <= $numGroups){

if(($PT % $n) == 0){
condition = 1;
setpointgroup(geoself(), (groupNamePrefix + $n), @ptnum, condition);
}

$n = $n + 1;
}


Does it make sense? Im open to other ways to do it.
