assemble (pack) them, use Add SOP to keep only the points -> basically ready for second copy stamping

apart from TOPs you can always use Fetch ROPs and wire them together in the desired fashion edit: also have a look at this

as a start turn off any disturbance, turbulence, shredding, sharpening, confinement, play with Temperature diffusion, maybe add a gasblur if you are still unhappy use that as a base and shape the sim from there

in a wrangle, plug in the points you want to make "collide" in the first input, SDF in the second (i recommend turning on "Fill Interior") float depth = volumesample(1, 0, @P); //how deep inside the volume is the point vector grad = volumegradient(1, 0, @P); //direction to the surface of the volume (depth = 0) at the point's position @P += -depth * grad; //to push the point to the surface of the volume, you need to invert either the depth or the gradient

maybe this can help

putting !steadyropegroup in the group field of the primwrangle should do it

not sure if that's what you're after, but use one of these lines to see different effects //if(f@eye>0) @Cd = {1,0,0}; //overrides the color where @eye is 1 //if(f@eye>0) @Cd += {1,0,0}; //add red where @eye is 1 if(f@eye>0) @Cd *= {1,0,0}; //multiply with red where @eye is 1

here's something VEX based I came up with while waiting for caches. It has its limitations and currently works only with (open) curves and supports only exactly 4 divisions. I guess with a bit more tinkering one could make it work on closed geometry and add functionality to support different divisions dm_compileBevel_v003.hip

I'd use a popwrangle and set v@force.y = 0; and just in case aswell v@v.y = 0; if it doesn't work, you might want to dive into the solver and do that stuff at the right position

not in front of houdini atm, but I guess you need brackets around (@P-@P2) -> order of operations

not that I ever needed bevelled edges in a group but I totally agree, having the option would be nice. Please submit an RFE?

had another look at it and came up with this. only works with 1 divison though (for now, but too lazy to drive this further) dm_getBevelEdges_v002.hipnc

here you go dm_getBevelEdges.hipnc

if they follow the same naming convention you can do something like group_`strreplace(s@shop_materialpath, "/mat/_Kitbash3d_StreetSide", "")` for further string manipulation look up the various functions (possibly even doing it in a wrangle, export as attrib and create group from that attrib)
