So I want to recreate the blaster impact effect from the mandalorian.... Its basicly sparks with a bit of smoke (when it hits tissue, clothing or a dusty ground)... So for that I took a razor crest model and added points. With the ray node I "placed" the onto the model. To source the points I wanted to copy speheres on these points, with randomized velocities based on the normal of the part, the point is on. But I couldn't get normal of the surfaces of the specific razorcrest parts to work on the points. Which didnt work obviously, bc to transfer points attribute you need to have matching ptnums, or am I wrong? So my Question: Is there a way to copy the normal of the nearest primitive to a point? Or is there a more efficient way of doing it? Blaster_Impact_1.hipnc
