Thanks for the pin! And also for the tutorial!

but i still have that issue with morphing

@@mithunkrishna3567 I don't really know anything about houdini. I just figured out that was my specific problem. Make sure you are following every little step of the tutorial. Missing one group name by a letter or stuff like that could be the reason why it doesn't work for you. Sorry I can't guess why is it that you have that problem. Perhaps give some more information and someone that knows more might give you an answer. Good luck!

thanks for the reply @@PedroCasavecchia...So to elaborate this issue.. if I tried with a different object .the mask are not being inflated in lerp function(the red area) ,instead it finds random points on the model scattered and inflates those areas (Some other random rocks), so how do I fix it

@@mithunkrishna3567 I don't know, but make sure that your original object and your target object have the same amount of geometry. If you are subdividing the cube after using it at source you will find this issue. Hope that helps!

oh thats so warm to hear, thanks so much!

Thanks a lot, Carl!

Always welcome!

Always welcome mate!

Glad you liked it!

Thank you! Will do!

Welcome!

Glad to hear that :)

More to come!

download new 19 )

oh, actually i found it. loaded some alembic geometry instead of the rocks and that might have been too much.

did you solve it?

Welcome :) Its used to scale down the rbds initially and scale them up in the span of 20 frames so all the intersections are resolved

@@nickmedukha so it is used in sop and fed into rbd, thank you

I don't think you are wrong. He does it on purpose... so that you buy his project files.

Thanks!!

Glad you enjoyed it! And I might agree that node based system might seem a bit complicated when you compare it to C4D

@@nickmedukha Don't think the problem are the node systems but the way they are designed. I've used ICE a lot and it was definitely more user friendly.

​Hey @@MarioSundays, As we go along with Houdini they're adding more additional nodes to help to ease things a little. That attribute from pieces node was new to me, and is a nice way of getting around the usual way of making a random variant attribute on the points in Vex. Also that morph node could be done in VOPS instead with a Mix node if you wanted to avoid the vex there, though it'd mean diving into a Vops node, and you could probably do the constraints with some of the new constraints nodes instead of using the VEX there. Unless they rely on data from the new RBD fracture nodes to work. The issue is that there's often a lot of new nodes and workflows added that do the same thing as a single Wrangle Node, so peoples own established workflows might not necessarily show the easiest way to do things for the sake of cleanliness and minimal nodes. Though I will agree that there's a long way to go to make it more user friendly from the outset.

ok I figured this out. I used a lowercase "p" instead of an uppercase in the VEX experssion

@@christiaannel5504 Thanks ! I was pulling out my hair over this.

i have no idea why i made the EXACT same mistake....... thanks for writing it here, Christian

I have the same problem. I can't seem to figure out where it goes wrong. -Perhaps Houdini has changed something.

I have the same problem. At 8:00 as I turn on the Morph attribute wrangle node I got red spheres deformed and connected together by stretching out.

@@jippiiiiiiii in the VEX expression, that's "P" not "p" That solved it for me.

I put expressions in the SOP path in both places. It didn't work, unfortunately

hey man! So the first thing to do here is to increase substeps, cause that might be the main issue here. Also, don't forget to put "pos" in data name in the constraints.

@@nickmedukha thank you for your answer! The problem is inattention and an extra space in (@name = ' ') at Attribute Wrangle )) genius

@@sashamustdie how did you solve?

Hey, same for me, it feels like the spring constraint doesn't work... i can see the constraints (yellow spheres & lines) but somehow the spring isnt working. :(

Aha. I just needed to pack my geometry at the copytopoints node

you saved my life man ahahahha @@nobody-u-know

thank you!

I had a simular issue. An information that was kinda skipped but is important is that on the copy to point for distributing the rocks you need to check Piece Attribute and type in class. Otherwise all your rocks are copied on every point. It might not be obvious but it is happening. Then you have more points on side than the other while doing the lerp and this is causing this issue. Hope it helps.

@@iRemixedEU First of All thanks 💟 for this solution , just now I saw the comment will try it out and come back to u

@@iRemixedEU Thanks for figuring this out! I was having the same problem.

@@DJWeekly your welcome :)

@@iRemixedEU I was having the same problem and this solved it, thank you !!

Update : Mask isn't working at all, literally copied everything (I guess), rechecked a lot of time but can't figure out.

@@thunderenderfx When you first create the copytopoints node, you need to first check the Piece Attribute parameter (which is unchecked by default) and then type in class, otherwise it will copy all merged geo to each point.

@@lonequark2224 yes, thank you! That worked! 🙌

@@lonequark2224 THANK YOU!!!!

В оригинале, походу, он скейлит еще немного сферы, т.к. интерполяция по атрибуту а атрибут на упакованной геометрии - сразу на весь меш, т.е. не будет такого, что часть меша - камень, а часть уже сфера. Тут можно сверху еще кучу накрутить всякого, но для базового туториала - пойдет :)

@@nickmedukha у вас русскоговорящий человек в штате или вы знаете русский?) очень удивлен развернутому ответу на русском по всем правилам))

с грамматикой проблемы, а так - да, я знаю русский :)

@@nickmedukha это очень круто, рад это слышать) спасибо за крутые туторы, бро!

@@nickmedukha а у меня возникла обратная проблема. Возможно, это изменение произошло в гудини начиная с 19 версии, но теперь при передаче аттрибута он передаётся по градиенту, что в моём случае приводит к не красивому результату с глитчем. Можно избежать яркого глитча увеличив Blend Width, но это всё равно не то. Мне хотелось бы, чтобы шарики резко "взрывались" как попкорн (что и показано у вас в туториале). И настройки, чтобы аттрибут передавался сразу на весь меш - просто нет :(

This sounds like you have not specified constraint name as I do at 11:27 Also make sure that wrangle runs over primitives.

​@@nickmedukha Yes that fixed the error - was running over points. But it looks like the sim is not working properly now. I get all the collisions and intersections. Will have a closer look at it tonight.

I have the same problem

So I found a solution I did not chek thePiece Attribute Box in the copy to points node for the rocks also at the attribfrompieces node I did not name the pieces attrib

@@jostermayer I had the same problem and this worked, thanks for pointing out that detail.

Same for me... I wonder if he did this on purpose.. to get us to buy his tutorials.

@@Todd_Manus Getting the same problem here, did you manage to figure it out? I wonder if it is because of new versions or something. His other tutorials worked fine so I don't think it's that.. Edit* previous comments seems to have the "fix": "I had a simular issue. An information that was kinda skipped but is important is that on the copy to point for distributing the rocks you need to check Piece Attribute and type in class. Otherwise all your rocks are copied on every point. It might not be obvious but it is happening. Then you have more points on side than the other while doing the lerp and this is causing this issue.
