Orient attribute April 26, 2012, 4:45 a.m.

hi all.

i have a funny problem.

1. i get some geometry from DOP, with DOPimport SOP node.
2. i use “Create points for representing objects”
3. i need to retime cache, but TimeBlend don't work with “Orient” attribute (also “TimeBlendParticles” don't work with)
4. I need to import “orient” point attribute, but i can't use it as … variable value.

I mean i can use $VX $VY $VZ velocity, i can use $CEX(YZ), $MAPU, $MAPV
e.t.c..

How i can get $ORIENT ? How look right name for orient variable ?
$ORIENT0(123) don't work..

SSS flickering (mantrasurface) Nov. 3, 2011, 6:19 a.m.

Hm.. looks like at this moment Houdini 11.1 can not produce hight quality SSS for production tasks.

1. AXIS SSS toolkit from Exchange library give me only black frames with alpha.
2. All SSS solutions produce flickered results and any parameters on shaders or mantra can't clean that.

This look so strange.. May be i'm wrong, but mental ray and vray going to realtime.

..but i can't create clean SSS in mantra. I'm right ?
