ATTRIBUTE PAINT | H18 MASTERCLASS

In this masterclass we step through the functions of attribute paint. We also briefly unpack it and look at how it can be embedded as a tool in other assets.

A one hour video about attribute paint.
What a time to be alive

[@floydd_pw5188]

he blows through the setup in 5 seconds and I need to get my preferences like his are apparently set.

[@andrearosa616]

OMG...we need one of this for every new node!
The final few minutes blew my mind and opened so many new ideas and workflows
Give us more please!

[@kolty99]

Love tutorials by Jeff Lait! Always so many great tips and info. 👍

[@wannabe_gamer1230]

I see no brush in view port.

[@kae-jg]

thanks for the video, very usefull ! I was kinda lost when i discovered the new paint node, and it helped a lot :)
Just a question though, at 22:32 , there is no int attribute after you painted some pieces with it, and I cannot figure how would this work actually ? mine appears but there is one single value, so how would you use this ? thanks !

Hi in houdini 18.5 onwards, setting default state with sidefx_attribpaint seems to no longer work. I get a lot of viewer state errors from the code. Is there an updated work flow for this?

[@viteshsuvarna5607]

This Tutorial is Very helpfull. Thank you. I would like to know about how to bake this point masks into textures. Thank You.

[@MANIAKRA]

great video, thank you!

[@xerc1]

57:15 when I type sidefx_attribpaint in my hda type properties I get a "WARNING: Invalid op name network: Object op: sidefx_attribpaint". Is there any more information on how this Default State "sidefx_attribpaint" syntax in the Node tab works? I assume this is what is selecting the paintattrib2 SOP within the hda, correct? How does this string reference a specific attribute paint SOP?

[@frassmicce]

Never knew about the Group from attribute boundary SOP🤯💥damn! Always great to watch the two Jeffs of sideFX. Do you guys have a third Jeff in hiding to come out with KINEFX masterclasses?

[@YoukMetal]

One option super useful can be simply invert the mask? if not how simply we can invert the mask?

[@velvetbiscuit7621]

Hello, any updates on the issue where it doesnt let you paint even when hitting Enter in the viewport? thanks

[@bhushankandalkar3104]

When I plug the attribute paint to the model the model dosent shows any colour and cant use the attribute and neither can paint it :(
Plzzz help what to do

[@rexrr1607]

WOW!!!

[@snhly9120]

how to use the paint attribute to control polyreduce areas? cant find this anywhere

[@grebenshyo]

use the 'retention' attr

[@youarealemon]

Absolute Houdini newbie here, I put down an attribpaint node, did some painting, left, and came back intending to do some more painting. But I can't get any of the paint tools to show up now! What do I need to do to get this to work? Even adding a completely new attribpaint node doesn't trigger painting mode in the viewport.

[@youarealemon]

Oh! Found the answer in some forums, I had to find the "Show Handle" button on the left shelf underneath the scale tool.

[@villain42]

@@youarealemon a quick way is to select the paint node, move the mouse into the viewport and press enter to activate the current node's handles.

[@caveman357]

All i have been trying to do is fill a mesh with color, paint what i want in white (with the new paint node), then delete what was black. I thought i would find out how to do this but nope! Can anyone help? I highly doubt that houdini wont let you do this, but i have zero idea how to do this with H18!

[@kae-jg]

well, have you watched the full video ? you create a color attribute, then paint whatever you want in white or black (if there are pieces you can tick the "connected" option and use the fill mode), then you'll get a cd attribute black and white, then juste use a delete, as before :)

[@098765432qwertyuiop]

what kind of monster laid out the nodes inside the paint attr node ?
j/k great release !

[@xl000]

you should see how the compilers optimize compiled code then...

[@eighttwenty2247]

​@@xl000 Do you intend to reply to every comment on this video? Knowing how a compiler optimizes code doesn't make the layout easier to comprehend on first seeing it, what's your point.

It wont let me paint :(

[@Josh_Foster]

hit enter while your mouse is over the viewport
