am i stupid? why is `gl_wireframe` somehow nowhere visible in the render properties shown in an Edit Properties LOP?
i’ve seen it done this way, i know i’ve done it myself in the past, but it’s like impossible to find in this mess of parameters. also, *why is it so fucking hard to show curves in the viewport without thickness*? why do i have to dig through this insane menu to do this?
i even tried adding the property as-is myself having memorized the name and it doesn’t fuckin work!
okay so after some digging, apparently this property has *never* been exposed by any menu and can’t be assigned at all unless you do it manually. so if you want guide curves in solaris, and you don’t want them rendered as big obnoxious ribbons, you have to use an Edit Properties LOP, manually drag an integer property from the USD Proprties list, and name it `primvars:houdini:gl_wireframe`, OR you have to do it via a wrangle: “` usd_addprimvar(0, s@primpath, “houdini:gl_wireframe”, “bool”); usd_setprimvar(0, s@primpath, “houdini:gl_wireframe”, 1); “`
brilliant UX
i find it really hard to believe this hasn’t been an issue for any other solaris users before. are guide curves really not used by anyone?
