Fibric Deform Procedural

Overview

Fibric Deform procedural is a render time procedural node for Solaris, equivalent of the SOP-level Fibric Deform node, adapted to work as a Husk render time procedural within the rendering pipeline.

To preview the deformation results with interactive rendering, you can use the Preview Houdini Procedural LOP node, which provides immediate feedback during iteration.

It's important to note that Fibric Deform Procedural is strictly related to Husk and its render time procedural architecture. Due to Husk limitations, the node can only deform curves and points, standard geometry is excluded from deformation. 

Because of this constraint Fibric Sticker mesh must be cached separately.

General

• Action

  • Create: Initializes the procedural.

    • Fibric Curves Prims

Primitives to de deformed.

• • • Animated Mesh Prims

Primitives to guide the deform.

• • • Animated Procedural

Sets procedural as an animated one.

• • • Fibric Purpose

Sets the purpose of Fibric primitives.

• • • Mesh Purpose

Sets the purpose of Mesh primitives. 

A purpose other than 'Guide' may cause problems.

• • • Deform Blur

Set deformation blur on Fibric primitives, so it does not need velocity attribute.

• • • Karma Velocity Blur

Sets Karma Velocity Blur on Fibric and Mesh primitives.

• • Edit: Edits an existing procedural.

    • Initialize Parameters

Initializes the parameters to:

• • • • • Do Nothing: Sets every parameter as no edit.

        • Set: Sets every parameter as edit.

        • From Usd: Sets each parameter value as the one found in the procedural that is been edited.

    • Fibric Procedural

Prim path to the procedurals to edit.

• • • Active State

Set the active state of the procedural

• • • • • Inherit: Keeps current active state.

        • Activate: Activates the procedural.

        • Deactivate: Deactivates the procedural.

Rest

• Rest Attribute
  Mesh rest attribute.

• Scale Mode

  • Scalar: Scale the rest attribute from a float value.

  • By Attribute: Scale the rest attribute from a mesh Xform attribute.
