rosanky Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) Hi there, I'm really new to Houdini so forgive me if this sounds silly. I made a vine from a L system just a straight tube right now no branches. I scattered some points on it, got the normal of the tube transferred those onto my points and am able to copy a "thorn" mesh i generated from a tube. Question is how do I scale the thorns along the vine? Bigger ones at the bottom and smaller ones as you get near the end of the vine.. as its tapered? Thanks for any help in advance! -Ryan Edited August 10, 2017 by rosanky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepu Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 you could a chramp in a wrangle to scale that is my first thought without looking at the file or something. Could you upload the .hip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sepu Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 This is what I meant with a chramp, is just basically a ramp where you have more control over the shape. VFX_RootsTest_v2.hip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
