The LookUp CHOP I want to take a quick look at how you can use the LookUp CHOP to do many things such as set driven keys. Many of you may be familiar with set driven key solutions in other 3D applications and have been looking for a way of doing the same thing in Houdini. The LookUp CHOP represents a fantastic way to sample into any data with a simple reference curve. Understanding the LookUp CHOP The LookUp CHOP can be thought of as the chf() expression but on steroids. Index a path in to a walk cycle for crowd animation along particle pathsDeform geometry with noise and waves You can watch the video to learn how to set up a LookUp CHOP and how the index channel is used to reference the right input Look Up Table.

Martin Sawtell's website PRman and Houdini OK first off, lets link some resources:The odforce wiki page on this subject.DCT systems has a writeup.SCAD student Alex Lim has one too.As does Hubert Weldon. However there aren't any for PRman 14.3, OSX 10.5 and Houdini 10, which was the combination I had to deal with at the time. An odd one I know but the setup should be pretty similar to *nix, just with OSX's weirdness. Right, so go grab PRman from Pixar's website and install as per usual. You want to install Renderman Pro Server. In the houdini shell, add the path $RMANTREE to $PATH by typing this: export RMANTREE=/Applications/Pixar/RenderMan.app/Versions/RenderManProServerR-14.3/ You MAY need to change your shell type to CSH to do this, the memory is hazy. echo 'Setting up prman' export RMANTREE="/Applications/Pixar/RenderMan.app/Versions/RenderManProServerR-14.3 export PATH="$PATH:$RMANTREE/bin" So... save that bunch of code as scriptname.sh, chmod it to 777, and type 'source scriptname.sh' in the shell to run it.

Black Ops II Wiki — Official tag line The link to the Call of Duty: Black Ops II website was also granted access to the public to coincide with the world reveal during the NBA basketball playoffs.

In light of this information, Mason and Hudson begin tracking Menendez, who has established himself as a primary arms dealer for bush conflicts in Southern Africa and Latin America. Faking his demise with the assistance of Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega, Menendez lives to retaliate against those he holds personally responsible for his sister's death.

LSAT w/ Hybrid Optic Sight Not only do we know that the LSAT will be returning; will also know that the Hybrid scope is back. Chicom CQB The Chicom CQB was another weapon that appeared in the single player footage. This is a lock-on anti-air gun that can be used to take down enemy killstreaks. The AN-94 will be an automatic Assault Rifle in Black Ops 2. Assault / Riot Shield It looks as if that screenshot that was leaked ages ago was real. Oh and guess what?
