H20.5 rotating viewport on space + number July 22, 2024, 9:01 p.m.

Hey there

This was unexpected. Space + number has been my go to for switching viewport between perspective, front, top etc.. I've just noticed that doing so causes the effective display "camera" to start doing a weird barrel roll. Equally astonishing is when pressing Option + Space I also trigger this barrel roll, time tunnel thing. Is anyone else experiencing it? What's it for, and how do I turn it off please?

I'm on a Mac, if that helps narrow it down.

Cheers,
Jeff

Query a ropfetch node for progress/completion state w/python March 8, 2021, 9:38 p.m.

Thanks for the absurdly fast and helpful response @tpetrick! I moments earlier heard the same from mestela and was about to reply to this thread with the same info. Cheers!

Query a ropfetch node for progress/completion state w/python March 8, 2021, 9:26 p.m.

Hey there

I'm just starting to get my head into TOPs-land. I want to run a pythonscript TOPs node when the incoming node (which is ropfetch node) is complete. Right now, no combination of "Generate When" and "Evaluate Script During" seems to get the python script to run only AFTER the incoming node is complete. I hope to get around this by having python script itself check whether the incoming node has completed cooking. So far though using:


rf = hou.node(".").input(0)
print(rf.getCookState("force"))

...only ever tells me that the node is cooking, unless I manually dirty the python node after everything is complete then run just that. Then I get "cooked" as the answer.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Cheers

Jeff
