K found out how to make a basic signal, hours of finding the right function leading to only few lines of code woo(?)
How to do a basic Signal in python compatible with Houdini: “`python from PySide2.QtCore import QObject, Signal class ECoolEventSignal(QObject): string_event = Signal(str)
cool_event_instance = ECoolEventSignal()
# sender cool_event_instance.string_event.emit(“Passing da string”) # reciever cool_event_instance.string_event.connect(self.listeningFunction) “` (You can also hook to the event functions via doc.qt.io/qt-5/qcoreapplication.html#sendEvent but it was overkill in my need)

now time for a drink and do something with this tommorow 😂

opnode_sum.py

“` This script will inspect all installed operators in houdini and create a table summarizing them.
hython opnode_sum.py > nodeinfo.json
The -p option will also output the parameter information. The –briefparms option will output name/label parameter information. “`

i had some time this morning so i cooked up a way to do this by just writing a small little rasterizer in vex 🙂

im sure there’s a better way to do it

yeah i see what you’re sayin 😦 im unsure how to change the voxel size without just making a new volume….

just brute force grabbing eaach matrix component

not sure why i need to do the minus sign in Y tho… guess some kind of handedness oddity

This one updates much more consistently compared to the vex one and feels really fast.

oops. the UV space was a little wonky there…

add this line

here is a simple vex camera projection if you do feel the need to be overcomplicated. 🙂

this is useful if your pos data comes from a rendering or something.

i like filmot.com for doing something similar, it’s a search engine for youtube subtitles mainly but the builtin player shows the subs as a nice little column you can scroll through really fast and click the little button at the start of each line to jump in the video to that point

it’s kind of insane that you can search for like “vellum configure strut” then keep hitting “next clip” and it’ll jump through every single time someone has talked about vellum struts on all of youtube
