New in Houdini 18.5 Pt. 5: Scatter & Align Plus Attribute From Pieces SOPs - The New Workflow 

The Bob Ross of Houdini

Tip: to move pieces to center you can also use "Match Size" SOP inside to For-Each.

thanks, that "attrib from pieces" is really helpful. 4:52 - you can replace "bound" and "wrangle" nodes with "match size" node.

I found this tutorial as I was painstakingly trying to put ash on top of and around an object with a simulation. I was able to extract my ash pieces from a fractured cube and give them a class attribute before feeding them into the copy to points. Works incredibly well!

These are some key low level concepts that going a long way

Sooo good 😊🙏🏾 as always thanks a lot for that helpful knowledge.

very top skill thank you i learning houdini evrithinks is helpul god bless you my frients

7:50 - I can see the snow on the mountains

But how scatter sequence obj ($F) in file node?

What if I need to pack and instance the leaves? I can't find a solution for getting the material on my geometry...

how do u get the random leaf inside the copytopoints? its look for the class name to pick a leaf?

To move connected geo to origin i just assemble and pack the geo and set @P to 0; No need for - loops.

How do you add the name attribute to your original geo? Is it just a wrangle or something?

is solaris production ready in this release?

Funny, houdini 17 and early 18 constantly crashed on my system. 18.5 is purring on the same system 🤔 What gives?

This is a bit advance tutorial.

slowwwww dowwwn.
