Thanks! I understand sidefx's mindset in courting new users or users from other software packages but agree an 'old school' toggle or something of the sort would be great :D

@@JohnKunz Yes but i wished that also provided a "pro" houdini mode where they didn't downplay the network editor which is the case with the default desktop imo. Even when my tuto using a very custom desktop that's not in the software, i didn't get why complaints but rather a lot of questions on how to have the same desktop or that they found the course a lot better due to maximized screen estate.

Really inspiring, lots of great findings! (I have increased the color contrast of the slate theme a bit though ; )
@JohnKunz2 жыл бұрын
is there specific lines in the config you find helpful to edit to increase contrast? I've never gotten to deep in the actual config files themselves.
@KonstantinMagnus2 жыл бұрын
Me neither. So far I have only increased the overall contrast in the color settings menu to 1.15 Also changed line 84 in Slate.hcs back to: IconSaturation: 1.0 and line 94 to: BackColor: GREY(0.24) For blue sliders: Line 179: SliderAdvancedGroove: SELECTION_BASE

@JohnKunz could there be a way to have houdini give a rename popup right when you place certain nodes like null, object merge, geometry, etc. instead of placing them and then double clicking to rename? Sounds like a small thing but would save a lot of time in the long run i guess...
@JohnKunz3 ай бұрын
You can do this with the OnCreated event www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/hom/locations.html#disk This event lets you run any code when a specific or any node is created, you can color the node, rename it, or raise a pop up to rename it if needed.

@@JohnKunz Hi John, could you elaborate on that or point me in the right direction like a tutorial or guide having something similar, because from the docs I didn't understand much (I've started with houdini not more than a year ago...) This would be really helpful, and coloring the node as well!

@@redbirdwerewolf You can make this text file houdini/20.0/scripts/OnCreated.py Then put in this code node = kwargs['node'] node.setColor( hou.Color( (0.8, 0.8, 0.8) ) ) if node.type().nameWithCategory() == 'Sop/null': null_color = hou.ui.selectColor(initial_color=hou.Color((1, 1, 1))) node.setColor(null_color) node.setName(hou.ui.readInput('Node Name')[1])

This will set every node to gray color, if it's a null in the sop context prompt a custom color, then prompt a name for the node

Im currently using 16:9 monitor but runs out of horizontal space quickly. I ended up resizing the horizontal panel quite often and it's disturbing. I wonder if ultrawide might help with this issue but I'm afraid I need to skew my head too much to reach the side. Any comment on using ultrawide?
@Regnareb Жыл бұрын
Houdini on a 16:9 is kinda squeezed, and it'ss not that great on a dual screen... I just bought an ultrawide and even though it takes some adaptation for other programs, it's a blessing for Houdini!

Really nice thank you ! Can I ask you, what’s your Linux distribution ? And how did you do to having houdini lunching like that ? Since houdini 19, I have to lunch before every houdini lunch, in the terminal : export LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib64/libc_malloc_debug.so.0"
