SideFX Houdini FX 17.0.459

SideFX has released a new sneak peek for Houdini 17.0.459, the next update to its 3D animation and FX software. Unlike its Siggraph demo, which focused on the new PolyDraw direct modelling system, it shows what looks to be the entire feature set, including UVs; animation; hair, fluids and dynamics simulation; and rendering.

Houdini Main Changelogs – January 10, 2019:

– Fixed bug with setting the bend region in the bend tool when object transforms are present when the viewer is set to Show All Objects or Ghost Other Objects. Still does not work correctly when the viewer is set to Hide Other Objects.
– Added a Time Scale parameter to the Bullet solver.
– Fixed a bug in VDB activation from a reference VDB in intersect and difference modes. The new routine should also be faster, especially when the two VDBs have very different voxel sizes.
– Fix bug in the viewport Group Info panel introduced in 17.0.347. The group tree was being drawn upside down.
– Corrected screen projection of BG image when either the camera screen or the display option screen isn’t (0,0)-(1,1).
