H20.5 rotating viewport on space + number Dec. 2, 2024, 10:52 p.m.

you know, Houdini viewport has been a massive disappointment ever since I started using it. But previously, it was at least still usable. In H20.5 It's a downright disgrace for such an incredible DCC. This rotating glitch bug bullshit has been in H20.5 since its release and I don't think something like this should need to be reported more than once for it to be fixed.

@sideFX the damn software is unusable if the viewport doesn't work!!!!!

Killing the scene view and opening it doesn't cause it to go away. Man I'm tired of these silly persistent viewport bugs. It's garbage! it's been years. A new viewport, same crap; oh no wait, much worst crap!

How to use the name param on sop::packfolder node in APEX? Aug. 25, 2024, 10:06 p.m.

It seems the reason the set dict bool node causes the APEX graph to stop working is because as of H20.5, in-place ports on nodes must have something connected to it. see here [www.sidefx.com]

How to use the name param on sop::packfolder node in APEX? Aug. 24, 2024, 6:12 p.m.

Got it to work by looking how they did it in the components. Still, any necessary tips or information on why it has to be done this way and tips for consistency are very welcome!

Also on a sidenote, it seems when certain nodes are in an APEX graph and not doing anything, they can cause the whole graph to NOT work. In my case, I had a "set dict bool" node that I was experimenting with just sitting in the graph not connected to anything and the whole graph stopped outputting data. That surely surely has to be a bug so I'll report it.
