Can't polyfill these simple holes. Are there any modelling geniuses out there that can help?
Noobini replied to Goliath20's topic in ModelingDear Sir, I believe the Polyfill SOP is fundamentally wrong. By definition, it should fill in HOLES. So here's my extremely simple illustration. As you can see, yes, there are 2 borders, one inside and one outside...but there is only ONE hole. The problem is Polyfill is filling in both borders instead of just as it says in the helpcard..."Fills holes with polygonal patches." So you see in my illustration, the problem can be seen clearly, yes I exaggerated the effect with the Surface Offset...but even if you use Quad settings instead of Triangle...you may see flat surfaces...but don't be fooled into thinking it's done it right, it's filling in both front/back on top of each other. Attached is my file for closer examination. And a jolly good day to you sir. (ps: I can see you taking my grid with a hole and extrude/morph its topology into a tube and argue that...well it does have 2 holes...but I'm not a Rhodes Scholar...more like Roads Kill Scholar...anyway...too much postulating already...) polyfill.hipnc
- so I see in C:\Program Files\Side Effects Software\Houdini 16.5.268\houdini\toolbar.....there's FurShelf.shelf how does one load this in just to'see' it out of curiosity?
- one way is to simply enter Add Dynamics into the search box.... (and then if you continue to follow the breadcrumbs...by clicking on /shelf/addfur...that's when it goes BUP BOW 404...)
- FYI, in this video: go to 00:06:00, he does have a Fur Shelf, far right corner is...........................Add Dyna..... guess it's deprecated/obs now...?
- Simulate Guides? (seems to have the best matching icon...and the tooltip is also pretty close...) After hitting that button, I see the Dynamics group added (in Param properties) (don't see any autodop created tho, in Dynamics, if I hit Create External DOP Network, then it creates a familiar looking one....new workflow??? dunno, total noob here...don't even know what the old workflow was)
Best way to slide verts along the existing path?
Noobini replied to ISUther's topic in Modelingjust digress a bit...on the Edit SOP there's slide on surface...what does that do? it sounds 'logical' enough but for the life of me can't get it to errr... slide a vert on surface when I move it...?? EDIT: can get edges to slide...but having a hard time with verts/quads
Wire capture, controlling width per point?
Noobini replied to martinT's topic in General Houdini Questionsjust a long shot...but the new edgetransport (16.5) has a Network option for tree/branches structure...have you taken a look and see if it's usable in this case?
16.5 edgetransport
Noobini posted a topic in Modelingwell that was easy....if you want to flip tapering start/end or end/start...simply change the Direction in edgetransport to Forward or Backward
space texture following the reference geometry?
Noobini replied to pixolator's topic in Effectstry this one?
16.5 edgetransport
Noobini replied to Noobini's topic in Modelingi never even knew about curveu!!! but yeah for more complexed Network...like L-system branches rather than just a single spline...this edgetransport is way more powerful...

points Delete Points based on Camera Origin
Noobini replied to jonidunno's topic in General Houdini Questionsthat's coz it hasn't got N set yet. So here I initialize N, then delete geo but keep points with an Add, then Delete...works...

Controversial changes to the CMC have been endorsed by LNP members of a parliamentary committee.
If the laws are passed, bipartisan approval would no longer be required when selecting a CMC chairperson and other senior appointments.
Assistant Health Minister Dr Chris Davis has today voiced his own reservations about the changes to the CMC, saying he is concerned about how they are being perceived in the community.
"We can't afford to really spend our political capital on things that are not really important to Queensland," he said.
"I'm yet to be convinced that this is something that is essential to the future of Queensland, this change."
Earlier today, State Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie defended the reforms, brushing off Mr Fitzgerald's scathing criticism.
He says the CMC will remain a strong, independent watchdog.
"There's been lots of name-calling and quite frankly I'm not going to entertain into the name-calling," he said.
"I never have, I never have in this role over the last two years and I'm not intending to.
"I'm just not going to get into the gutter of that and I'm not going to name-call."
The chairman of Parliament's Legal Affairs Committee, Ian Berry, which reviewed the proposed changes, also says criticism from Mr Fitzgerald is unhelpful.
Mr Berry and other LNP members of his committee have recommended passing the bill, with some amendments.
"I just find attacking the man and not the ball to be really counter-productive," he said.
"Attack the parts of the bill that you don't believe in but leave the emotive side out of it - it really is not helpful."
Mr Berry says the veto power is in line with appointments to ICAC in New South Wales.
"Our recommendation is to be in accord with what other states are doing," he said.
"I'm not entirely sure that bipartisanship was really what was recommended by Tony Fitzgerald - in fact he made no recommendation," Mr Berry said.
"Bipartisanship was a different era - it was a time when there was corruption, when there was almost a meeting of minds of both opposition and government, and they decided to adopt that stance.
"Times have moved on.
"We are talking about new ground here - trying to adopt past history for today's present crime is not really appropriate in my view.
"When America had a crime wave, it got people who were prepared to do the job.
"Committees are great for a lot of things, but sometimes you need action and you need definitive actions on behalf of a persons and a committee."
Premier Campbell Newman has defended the proposed changes to the way the CMC chairperson will be appointed in future.
Mr Newman has told Fairfax Radio a similar model is used in New South Wales.
"You have a situation where the Government certainly nominates someone but the committee then has a right of veto and there's an openness and a transparency about the process," he said.
"Now I know that some of the Government's critics won't agree with that, but I think if it's good enough for ICAC and the Australian Crime Commission surely, those bodies have worked fine, they've worked well."
However, Mr Newman says he is willing to reconsider a proposed change to the focus of the CMC.
The CMC has raised concerns about planned amendments that would make dealing with organised crime its primary focus, with corruption asa secondary priority.
Mr Newman says that section of the bill may be tweaked.
"They've done a lot of work and a lot of fine work in the misconduct and corruption area in the private sector, but we haven't seen the emphasis on the criminal gang or the criminal organisation area," he said.
"That's why we gave them more money to do that.
"I think though the current legislation where it's saying that the primacy is crime fighting - that's something we should have another look at."
But Queensland Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk says a bipartisan approach to the CMC is honest, balanced and superior to any veto system.
"Frankly I don't care what New South Wales does," she said.
"It has worked well in Queensland - why would we change it?"
Ms Palaszczuk says the CMC is losing its independence.
"I now hold grave concerns for the future of our corruption watchdog in Queensland," she said.
"This is watering down our CMC - we demand that the chair of the CMC must have the bipartisan support.
"This LNP Government is trying to control everything it can gets its hands on."
Australian Lawyers Association spokeswoman Michelle James says the Government plan of giving
