Bringing SOPs into COPs | Intro to COPs | Houdini 20.5

[@g8610g]

Cool. Looking forward to more COP tutorials. Hope I stay in houdini for most if not all my texturing needs soon.🙂

[@Tritoon710]

Thanks. 5:55 For pushing all the nodes to left side hold Shift and click and drag and that will move all downstream nodes together, and same for upstream you can hold Ctrl.

[@InsideTheMindSpace]

Yeah I always forget these hotkeys for some reason. Thanks for reminding me!

[@darrynrogers204]

Displacement preview wasn't working for me initially but I got it to show by switching the viewport from OpenGL to Vulkan in the Houdini preferences.

[@christiangoudy8174]

will you be showing us how to make / where to find the material that is used in your thumbnail? i got so excited at first.

[@InsideTheMindSpace]

My intentions at some point are to show full material creations. What materials I show full creation of are yet to be determined.

[@massimobaita7178]

Thank You very much!

[@Trogleth]

This is pretty cool, are you going to build us up to the thumbnail material?

[@InsideTheMindSpace]

I haven't fully decided what I am going to do with this series. I probably will do full material creation at some point. For the time being the thumbnails are meant to represent materials that are possible to create using the methods in the series.

@@InsideTheMindSpace That-d be pretty cool if you could that

[@InsideTheMindSpace]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@duke222222]

If you're taking requests, I'd love to see something that shows how to pull heightfields into Copernicus and output them again (back to the heightfield).

[@InsideTheMindSpace]

I plan on looking at how to bring information from sops into cops and then back out again. Not sure about heightfields specifically as I haven't tried that yet. I don't know if the workflow is different. If it is different I will probably take a look at it.

Sadly COPs isn’t optimized in MacOS yet 😔

[@InsideTheMindSpace]

Thats unfortunate. It is still in beta so I would guess that it will get better with time.

[@junechevalier]

@@InsideTheMindSpace I hope so, the Preview Material node doesn’t show any change when you connect smth to the height channel. I have to render it in karma to see the effect

[@BrandonLeeSmith]

@@junechevalier ahhhh god damn I've been searching all over as to why preview material isn't doing anything for me - this is why.
