The thing about Houdini is that it takes a PHD in computer graphics to even get a couple of seconds of usable output out of it as well as buying in to the ecosystem of zbrush, maya, mari, and nuke and then buying expensive motion capture suits.

nothing, I'm still looking for a good intro course with no success so far. Although I have only done Houdini isn't scary so I can't say I was trying much.
I found Rebelway's VEX course so I'm going to do that and hope the basic stuff will stick along the way.
But if you can refer me to some source where I can learn what excatly is VOP, DOP, SOP, shop, WHATEVEROP, I'll be very happy.

ACES:
>to use aces in karma (and solaris in general) just use the new ocio settings panel, rendering space:aces cg, view transform: aces srgb 1.0
>^ need a restart for this to take effect
>color space rules below handle texture conversion
>mtlximage node has file color space dropdown but it doesn't seem to override this rule (?)
>karma ocio color transform node does seem to work in karma xpu (some youtube video suggested it didn't)
lights:
>they added spread to lights - still not in the usd spec, but available in the karma tab for lights as an override
>karma light filters now work in xpu
>karma gobo light filter does not play well with the spread light parameter - if you want a pin sharp gobo, disable spread and make the light tiny
>no way to color correct hdri images on the node or in the light shader
subdiv:
>rendertime subdivision is combination of two nodes
>meshedit > subdivision scheme to set type
>karma settings / render geometry settings to set dicing quality to set subdiv quality

I've started transitioning our team from Maya to Houdini and after looking around to see what resources there were I chose houdini-course to help get our artists up to speed. I don't know about the mentoring, but the structured courses are very very good. He's got a bunch of free videos sprinkled in there so people can check it out. Bonus: he has a normal, tolerable voice. Found that to be pretty important for me personally.
Good advice about getting into the cgwiki discord. The thinkprocedural discord is retardville by comparison.

The colorspace stuff isn't implemented yet on the MaterialX spec side of things from what I remember.

here you go anon
you can change the position and scales of the input tube however you want (not rotation though)
----------------------------
//Get min & max bounds of Y from the incoming geomertry
vector bboxmin = getbbox_min(0);
vector bboxmax = getbbox_max(0);
float bboxYmin = bboxmin.y;
float bboxYmax = bboxmax.y;
//bbox = bouding box
//remap the bound values from whatever they are to 0 and 1 (we want 1 to 0 though (not necessary))
float yBoundsFitted = fit(@P.y, bboxYmin, bboxYmax, 1, 0);
//create a ramp to change how your value transitions from 0 to 1 (unrelated)
float yRamp = chramp('yRamp', yBoundsFitted);
//For ramp visualisation
@Cd = yRamp;
//Multiply your Px and Pz positions by value along the bouding box
@P.x *= yRamp;
@P.z *= yRamp;
---------------------------
There are 1000's off ways to do this both efficiently and inefficiently and that's the beauty of it

just spent the last 2 hours trying to figure out how portal lights work in karma/solaris. i've figured it out, but i don't know if i should feel retarded or i should be angry.
what i thought was the way:
1. create dome light
2. create rect light
3. add render geometry settings to rect light and enable 'is portal'
4. optionally add rect light 'portals' parm in dome light
5. optionally add dome light to 'portal dome lights' parm in render geo settings
i spent way too long a/b'ing renders trying to see if any setting changed anything. nope.
turns out CANNOT use a light as portal light
portal lights must be regular old geometry prims
yes. you just make a plane and use render geo settings to mark it as a portal it just werks.

The most straight forward way to make a pyramid or cone shape in Houdini is just to place down a attributewrangle write a few lines of expression code like this.
int sides = chi("num_sides");
float height = chf("height");
float radius = chf("radius");
matrix trans = ident();
vector pos = set(radius,0,radius);
int pts[];
rotate(trans,(PI*2/sides),{0,1,0});
int bottom = addprim(0,"poly");
int top = addpoint(0,set(0,height,0));
for(int i = 0; i < sides; i++){
int pt = addpoint(0,pos);
pos *= trans;
append(pts,pt);
}
for(int j = 0; j < len(pts); j++){
int side = addprim(0,"poly");
addvertex(0,side,pts[j]);
addvertex(0,side,top);
addvertex(0,side,pts[(j+1)%len(pts)
addvertex(0,bottom,pts[j]);
}

Don't listen to the faggots in this thread they are all larpers who don't even know how to make their pps bigger. I'll tell you something only a true wizard knows.
VOP is easiest because it's the same as vex only noded. Well technically SOP is easier but VOP exists in SOP. DOP is dynamic so its anything being done in frames over time. All use VEX underneath so you can do it all the same in different ways.
I'll use increasing my pp size as an example.
In vex here is how I make my pp bigger:
float makemyppbig = chf("pp_slider");
@pscale = makemyppbig;
In VOP its just two nodes. one Constant connected to a bind export that is named "pscale", make sure it is a float.
There is a sop for changing vex attributes called "attribute create" call it "pscale", again make sure it's a float and done!

That's beautiful but there is in fact a much simpler way.
Simply start with a box or tube if thou wants to make a cone instead.
Then create a group with the selected top face as the primitive and then convert that primitive group to a point group with a group promote and finally a fuse sop with the selected converted group and a snap distance of at least 1.5 but preferably 10.
This way thou gets access to cube and tube nodes for easier manipulation.
>>968818 thou can then put all of this into a subnet connected to paramters and you will have an easy to use cone/pyramid sop.

Not him, but I make around 13000$ per month, before taxes and business costs, doing niche fetish porn, so there's money in it, if you know your audience, and can produce decent quality. Vanilla might be more difficult to break into, since there's more competition, and people aren't usually as willing to pay, than in the fetish communities. But on the other hand, the audience is a lot bigger, so maybe it evens out.

I want to learn Houdini for archviz stuff. You think I should get into it with that "Joy of Vex" tutorial. I checked it, it looks more to be about sim fluid stuff.
I"m only interested in procedural architecture stuff

if you can't even find the right tutorial to learn what you want, houdini is not for you

Oh man, this thread of shame won't die why is this board so slow

Thanx for your kindness. But I found out what the contexts mean right after that reply. Those midwits could have just told me about the official SideFx learn page and things would have been much easier.

Any kind souls would be kind enough to make me a roadmap for achitectural and map procedural stuff with Houdini. Yeah call me spoonfed but as a pure beginer I'm totally lost on the amount of tuts from different sources, all tackling the work in a different way.
I want the shit that uses VEX the most.

1. do this as an intro. 2 days max: https://www.sidefx.com/learn/collec
2. then do: https://www.vfx.cgmasteracademy.com
while doing 2 you should also do joy of vex from cgwiki
>uses vex the most
is a stupid thing to ask for. you use vex when you need it. over-VEX'ing is a noob mistake. you either know vex or you don't and you use it when you have to.
3. for terrains maybe look at this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzF
skip the texturing part since it uses old COPs
there aren't that many heightfield tools and you can learn them pretty quickly. you see more than one example terrain in that tutorial you'll get the idea. you can look at the new project pegasus stuff for more autistic biome stuff if you want.
go away.

also there's a tutorial on youtube on how to import usgs data (and other lidar data) and use it for heightfields
that data is good and you should use it whenever possible because it's very difficult to get truly natural looking results with just the hf tools. they look fine, but you put them next to a real scan and it's just not the same. oh and adrien lambert also has a quick heightfield tools tutorial on youtube which is fine. like i said, those tools are pretty easy to pick up, you see one or two of those tutorials and there's not much else to learn, you just have to spend time get a feel for tools.
