Hi Everybody! I have been following this amazing tutorial done by Vladislav Lavrenov. Everything works just fine but I'm trying to do some personal variants to this. I was trying to make the whole simulation collide with an object, in particular with a wall. I achieved in doing so but for some reason any geometry that gets put inside my popnet as a static obj gets taken by it as a new source of particle emission. Each point of the static obj is emitting particles or a piece of geometry of my voronoid fracture. I can't undestand how to via vex how to ignore the static obj geometry. Here in attachment are some screenshots of what happens... as you can see on the wall points there are particles that shouldn't be there. I guess everything is happening in my copy node and the voronoid geo gets copied in every point of the scene... but why, and how can I fix it? I'm really stuck and need somebody with more experience to help please. Here is also a copy of the project. Thanks in advance for the help!!!! Simone newexplosion_collision.hip

Hi everyone! I'm looking to access arbitrary point positions by point number. I was hoping to not have to iterate as I only want to access points 0,13,56 for example. Does anyone have any suggestions. I was thinking of just creating my own GA_Offset but I couldn't figure out how to create and edit one without using the helper functions like GA_FOR_ALL_PTOFF. Thanks for the help!

hey! I have a flip cache and I want to delete some points that go out of control. I just discovered that id and ptnum are not the same, so if I select and blast those points houdini reads the ptnum of points and blast them which is perfect in that frame but wrong in the others, so I'm looking to find a way of telling the blast not to delete base on the ptnums of selected points, but on the ids of the selected points...or build a group with the same idea... cheers!

Hello, I would like to interpolate the points of a flip fluid to test the slow motion. The problem is that the ptnum of each point changes over time. Do you know how to fix this problem? Thank you very much, Brice

Hey! I'm scattering some points and then use them as first input in a popnet to sim it. in the pop source I'd like to just emit a point for every source point, so basically I'm emitting for 1 frame with the same number of points, to get the same points in the sim. is there a way to tell the pop source to emit the exact number of points you have as input (at the mo I'm just manually putting the number...) ? cheers!

Hello Guys. I got stuck here in a middle of an project and i can't find a solution. My problem is : I have a grid of points , and an animated point running over the surface of the grid. My "running" point have an attribute that is transferd ( via attrib transfer SOP inside anSolver) to the grid points by an proximity radius. then I use the transfered attribute to isolate only the grid points that are tuched by the "running"point. But the @ptnum of the remaining points is changing. And i need the @ptnum to grow in the order detection ( @ptnum 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc) why is that happening to understand better I've attached the scene file ptnum_chaos.hip -
Hi all, I'm having what I'm expecting is a very simple issue with the trail SOP. As my points are dying/ptnum is resetting, I'm getting glitches at the ends of my trails. Obviously if it was a POP sim, I could just trail > cal vel, then append an add SOP to ad a primitive based on id, however I can't figure out how to do it using the @ ptnum variable in the attribwrangle. Is @ ptnum is actually just the wrangle variable, and not actually the point attrib? Been scratching my head on this for a while. .hipnc attached, any help very much appreciated.broken_trails.hipnc

Recently I discover something interesting after smash my head against wall for a few days. Im creating a simulation using bullet and packed prims, and I need activate (using i@active variable ) the pieces in choreographed way over the frames But the thing make me crazy is that bullet change ptnum of each packed primitive over the time, and I think is about some priority list inside the algorithm of the solver. because after the simulation I need to atach some atributes for each simulated piece. Then I realize that I need to attach theses attributes before simulation or atach some sort of ptnum tracking for them. bullet activate order points_v001.hip
