hatrick Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 hi, how can i copy an object to the center of the templatepolygons instead of its points? ...i tried to use the creep sop to place simple nurbssurfaces (like in the tut on sidefx), and usings their centerpoints as a new template. i can't figure out how to get out only the centerpoints for the final copytemplate. i m shure there is an easier way to go... thx!

mightcouldb1 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Here is an example. Also take a look at the expressions tutorials on the sidefx site, because he goes into a more complex example using similar technique. I think it's either video 3 or 4, but I could be mistaken. centerCopy.hip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattd Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 use a convert SOP, set output type to 'circles' hi, how can i copy an object to the center of the templatepolygons instead of its points? ...i tried to use the creep sop to place simple nurbssurfaces (like in the tut on sidefx), and usings their centerpoints as a new template. i can't figure out how to get out only the centerpoints for the final copytemplate. i m shure there is an easier way to go... thx!

villain Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) divide sop, compute dual it connects the centerpoints of the polygons, just what you need. (the divide sop has some hidden nice surprises) Edited April 25, 2010 by villain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpencerL Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 divide sop, compute dual it connects the centerpoints of the polygons, just what you need. (the divide sop has some hidden nice surprises) divide sop is a great one to know. The other I was going to suggest is facet SOP > unique pts followed by a primitive sop > scale (0,0,0) followed by a fuse sop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
