3__ Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 anyone know how to copy normals form one sop to another (with the same point count)? I'm pretty sure it involves the point sop but I don't know the syntax. -cpb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mario Marengo Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Hey cpb, You *can* use a point sop as well... 1. Append a point sop 2. Feed the destination sop (the one that is to receive the normals) into input #1 of the pointSOP 3. Feed the source sop (the one you're copying from) into input #2 of the pointSOP 4. In the Standard tab of the pointSOP, where it says "Keep Normal", change it to "Add Normal". 5. Change the three normal fields (which default to $NX, $NY, and $NZ) to $NX2, $NY2, $NZ2 respectively. You're effectively assigning to input#1, the normals from input#2. Make sense? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenong Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Hey mate, There's also the AttributeTransfer SOP. Cheers! steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekenny Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 the attributeTransfer can be a bit over kill sometimes for certain needs. an attribCopy, or the old pointSOP trick is much faster. -k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
