magneto Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) Hi, I am using the edge force trick to create point normals along the curve, but when I use a Point SOP to do this, it doesn't create a variable for the edge_dir attribute. So am I supposed to use an AttribCreate SOP for N after the Point SOP, and use the point expression for the values? point("../point1", $PT, "edge_dir", 0)[/CODE]Can I do all this within a single Point SOP?Thanks Edited October 31, 2012 by magneto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hello world Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) you can use polyframe (Entity points and tangent name to N) or use point ||||| Force taB-add edge force- attrib create* edge_dir to N or u can rename edge dir to some other variable name and then import it back in the vop sop and plug in the normals edit: attribute sop* Edited November 2, 2012 by Hello world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magneto Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 Thanks, so with the AttribCreate, I still cannot refer to it as EDGE_DIRX, etc, right? So you either have to rename the attribute or use the point expression like in my first post. I thought after enabling the edge force, I could refer to it in the same Point SOP.
