LaidlawFX Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hello, The short of it... My problem is I need 7 inputs into my subnet and I am only given 4... The long of it... So I'm creating an asset for an animator friend who doesn't know Houdini to create some trees for a forest. I usually create my assets in subnets before I make otls out of them, so I have a lot of flexibility before I turn it into a digital asset. She has an interesting style made out of paper mache that I am trying to match, where she just needs to create a curve for the 6 leaves and one for the trunk. I've opscripted the subnet node at sop level and it list the inputs, but it does not allow me to add more and source them back in. I've heard of a min max slider that is potentially hidden in there for this, but haven't seen it yet. Any body else do this? I'm thinking this would happen a lot. For your curiosity sakes. Here is the test render with one set of trees so far, and the orginal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graham Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 You can't modify the number of inputs on the Subnetwork operator. If you turn a subnet into an OTL then you can specify the fact you want more than 4 inputs. Other than that there isn't much you can do. You can always use object merges inside your subnet to get the geometry into it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures... Thanks very much for the fast reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
