In case anyone finds this helpful — I made a quick shelf button for myself to set sticky note text color to the current note color and then hide the background because I don’t like having big rectangle notes around if I just want to briefly describe and color coordinate things. Here’s an example screenshot. You can just drop this in a python shelf button, could even assign it a hotkey. I guess I was also modifying the color a bit in HSV – can’t remember why, but you could modify that too
“` selected_sticky_notes = [ item for item in hou.selectedItems() if isinstance(item, hou.StickyNote) ] for sticky_note in selected_sticky_notes:
#Get current note color in hsv note_color_hsv = sticky_note.color().hsv()
#Create text color from note color text_color = hou.Color() text_color.setHSV((note_color_hsv[0], note_color_hsv[1]*0.85, note_color_hsv[2]*1.15))
sticky_note.setTextColor(text_color) sticky_note.setDrawBackground(0) “`

@mestela spent the afternoon chatting with @BouncyFerret[Aslak] , @squidbean and @drewzeefx polishing the attribute expand to do what the group expand node does. The flood fill that group expand offers is not in there though. I want to convert this to a hdk node in the future but this is what you get for now : )

Can limit by group, attribute, uv island and normal

Hi 😀 I published Vegetation Solver It is based on “A Coupled Vegetation-Crust Model for Patchy Landscapes” You can simulate dryland vegetation patterns based on HF 👍 reference www.researchgate.net/publication/285883124_A_Coupled_Vegetation-Crust_Model_for_Patchy_Landscapes hip drive.google.com/file/d/1Q0v1wSXfwKb-Dk6YvayL_fWpYuoyZY3R/view?usp=drive_link

Ultra simple coloring setup :O)

However that one (to use in the SatMap wrangle) is hacked from Gaea :S … use with caution
