Pivot From Sop

[MENOZ]

hi all.

i have a problem, it's enough simple but i can't get out of it..

say a have a controller, i move my pivot at a certain position, in sop.

now i want, in obj level, the ability to move, rotate my object not starting from 0 0 0 grid, but from the position i defined in sop.

if i move the pivot in the obj level and collapse into a subnet, i have the same problem..

how can i do?

i can make a digital asset and add the parameters i need, but i have not the handle.. i need the handle!

thanks

edit:

ok i see that moving pivot form obj, and making it a subnmet and create a DA with my parameters it work, but if i use parameters form SOP it doesn't...

I'd suggest to use Parent (to a Null maybe) in OBJ mode...

while in SOP.. first thing comes to mind mind is using a "pivot" object (let's say a little box as placeholder) and using bbox() expression in the PIVOT handles of the transform attached to the sop you need to move... hope this makes sense.

The "pivot" in SOPs is the local origin. So just put down a Transform SOP and translate it such that your "pivot" is at the center of the object.

yes, but doing so my geometry result... translated.

sumone, yes, it works with expressions.

thanks everyone
