If i jump right into indie will I be able to install and use 15 too? Or am i stuck to 14 then?
And can anyone tell me why I didn't start learning Houdini earlier? Its such a mighty brainbreaker (in a good manner)!

Hi, thats an interesting riddle, and I would like to know too how this could be achieved. Also I'm a big time noob here.

I managed to get geo copied onto primitives but not the points with your method so that the copied meshes change the direction. They orient, but not that much. Don't know how you can tell them to do better
About the size I have no idea, sorry. Maybe with a copy stamp method, but so far, I'm at learning…

Here is what I got so far:

McNistor, that behaviour seems a bit random to me.
I don't think its a limitation of the Apprentice version - because it works if I make Houdini “windowed” but really large on my screen.

If that should not work in Apprentice version it should not start to render at all with the preview tool activated.

Does anyone else have such issues?

I will try this at my home computer aswell, but later that night (gmt +1), lets see if it's just this computer here or something else.
