Rebelway is telling me to do the houdini fundamentals course but I had a look at the curriculum and I am not really looking to learn pyro, fluids and rigid bodies at the moment. And while learning these would give me a better understanding of houdini I am not sure how or if it would help to acquire the knowledge specifically needed to create environments.
We convert Mesh to Curve and by using the Set Spline Cyclic node with Cyclic turned off we basically undo what we did in houdini and delete the connection between the last and first point.
Note: It seems like in some cases it deletes the wrong edge, input is welcome on how the debug this.
Hey, really helpful explanation on how to get the hair across from houdini, however i dont understand how you managed to get the hair to stick to character and have physics like you show in the video, i also cannot manually sculpt the hair for some reason either.
I wan't to Import Pyro simulation from houdini to BlenderI tried to import VDB cache from houdini to blender but it was not compatible with blender and blender could not read it Is there any way to do that whether it is Python scripting or any way so that i can bring that pyro smulation from houdini to blender ?
The convert vdb sop instructs houdini to convert your pyro into a vdb sequence(change it to vdb, as it defaults to volume,) it should look like so in the parameters--> , and the file cache will save it to disk at the output. (be sure to change cache to output to .vdb from .bgeo or you may run into problems on export)
Alternatively, (and for a more efficient way)you may use a Pyro-Post-Process sop in place of the convert vdb sop. This will allow to do the conversion to vdb and tell houdini to save the vdb as 16 bit float instead of 32 bit (default).
Inside of Blender, add a volume object in the scene, Shift+A Volume >Import OpenVBD and select your sequence wherever it was saved to. Blender should now read the vdb sequence exported from houdini without any problems.
